ABSTRACT

Under the background of cross-style music fusion, the adaptability of western percussion playing techniques in multi-style context constitutes the core of research. This paper analyzes the basic characteristics of western percussion technique system and its core contradiction in cross-style application, and mainly reveals three difficulties: contradiction of technique requirements among styles, uncertainty of timbre adaptation and disconnection of rhythm logic. This paper puts forward the technique reconstruction strategy based on style stratification, the expansion method of timbre control and the contextualized integration path of rhythm logic, aiming to provide theoretical support and practical reference for the unification of technique and artistry in western percussion performance across styles. The discussion is of positive significance to the innovation and development of percussion art and cross-cultural music exchange.
