On
the initiative of our friend of
Geneva Edouard Sommer, we met, Christian,
photo-2
Luc and I, in October 2007, Saturday
20th, in Chermignon-d'en-Haut, a
pretty village above Sierre, in
the Valais, in good company for
un unsurpassed day, and which will
work all participants for ever. Twenty-two
drummers were there, among which
seven Swiss champions : Ivan Kym
(2006, 2002, 1998) Guillaume Rey
(1994) Roman Lombriser (1990) Remigius
Rupp (1986) Hans Luterbacher (1978)
Peter Achermann (1974, 1970) without
forgetting some VIP, as Louis Salamin
and the oldest Daniel Quinodoz,
for whom a complete surprise had
been carefully handled. During
the drink, the mood was brought
by a collective, then individual
performance of these champions.
Dialogues, always rewarding, continued
during the traditional local "raclette".
Then we arrived at the active participation
of the French drummers, comparison
of the equipment and especially
regulating and sound. We came of
course to speak of the "coulé"
see on worbook
, of this diverting, and his valaisanne
variant, the "fignolement".
These two rudiments seem too close
to have distinct origins ; they
are mainly different one of other
by the place of the accents. Some
chosen pieces showed the talk. A
big instant for me consisted in
the execution of "Der Grizzli"

can easily understand that this
day passed very quickly, especially
too because it was put under the
sign of complete simplicity and
friendship. Edouard and his team
really worked well to organize this
meeting, perform material realisation,
so that everyone came back to home
full of good memories and with wish
for a new day like this one. |
