Rolling closer to the center produces a brighter sounding roll.

* 4. Based on the webinar, what is true of playing the triangle? Select all that apply. (20 pts)

 Regarding the triangle clip, the loops that hold the triangle should be as long as possible.

Regarding the triangle, you should avoid using "tear-drop" shaped beaters.

When playing a roll, it's best to think "come and get it" as you drag the beater around the inside edges in a continuous, clockwise movement.

Since gravity can play a part in making rolls sound uneven, it is recommended that you roll in the inside edge of upper corner with a horizontal stroke.

Question Title

* 5. Which statement below was NOT made in the webinar? (20 pts)

"The primary way to sustain tones on all of the mallet keyboards - the bells, the vibes, the xylophone and the marimba is by rolling."

"The speed of a (mallet keyboard) roll is affected by the tessitura or pitch of the bar."

Regarding timpani - "where to strike the instrument is 2-3 inches from the rim, not 6-8 inches from the rim."

"Generally, the speed of the roll on timpani is actually not that fast. What's more important is the evenness of the strokes hand-to-hand."
