This project examines the integration of the MIDI keyboard alongside the Traditional Drumset (TD) and suggests that the continual renewal of technology has both shaped the TD and led to the integration of digital technologies. Using a practice-led research model along with action research, this project offers TD practitioners new tools for developing a solo percussion practice using what I call the A ugmented Drumset (AD). The primary aim is to develop an idiolect for the AD; achieved through playing, practising, and composing for the AD, devising six parameters, resulting in an iterative process termed the Augmented Drumset Iterative Cycle (ADIC). The ADIC represents one of the three primary outcomes of this research in addition to two original compositions. An important undercurrent throughout this work is the desire for all sound to be a consequence of embodied movement, allowing the compositions to be performed in real-time and not from leveraging any programmed sequences or backing tracks. In addition to this text, a range of scores, videos, and audio recordings are utilised to document and represent this project.
