I haven't been so excited to learn a new word in a while. Today's word is Klangfarbe. It means "timbre." More than that it's a badass word, and any drummer has to love any word with "Klang" in it. Leave it to the Germans to come up with percussive-sounding names. You may not know what a word means but you know it's serious just because of the aggressive sound of it alone. Klangfarbe...I love it. Let me see if I can use it in a sentence...hmm, okay. "A day without Klangfarbe is like a day without sunshine," or maybe "That rhubarb has no Klangfarbe." How's that? Alls I can say is: Have a nice day and keep on Klangfarben. Too muchen.
