Antonio Buonomo (13 December 1932 – 23 November 2025) was an Italian composer, solo percussionist and music educator. A professor of percussion at the conservatories of "S.Pietro a Majella in Naples" of Naples and "S.Cecilia" of Rome, Buonomo's professional experience included performing as timpani soloist in various orchestras (such as the "San Carlo" of Naples and "La Fenice" of Venice), and director of one of Europe's first all-percussion instrument groups. His many compositions and transcriptions for percussion instruments have been published by the main houses of this sector and include teaching materials as well as music for plays and television documentaries. They have been performed for the occasion of prestigious avant-garde musical events, television and radio programs as well as in public concerts.

Life and career Buonomo was born in Naples in December 1932. In the preface to his biography, he said that "Being born into a family of musicians doesn't give you much choice". The fifth of ten children, he began studying music before he even knew how to read or write. He was already performing at the age of 12 (as a conservatory student), playing the trumpet and drums with his father in many nightclubs in Naples in front of an audience of American soldiers from the Allied Forces. A career that was built on “coming up through the ranks” and playing just about any musical genre, from popular music and marching bands to jazz and contemporary music. "His career is immense and he has come a long way" as Il Centro (Abruzzo's newspaper) wrote. He was director of one of the first contemporary rhythmic music bands and professor at the conservatories N.Piccinni in Bari, S.Pietro a Majella in Naples, Luisa D'Annunzio in Pescara and Santa Cecilia in Rome. His didactic works were used as exams in national and international competitions and were adopted by high musical culture institutions in Italy and abroad. He held seminars and specialization courses on an…Citește mai mult

"Rhythm is music's life." "A simple performer can become an artist by turning stage fright into an emotion to convey to the listener." "True music is not what we play or hear, but what gets to the listener without interference." "Everybody can create sounds by beating on any percussion, but only those produced by an expert touch can be called sounds." "A musician must find the real rhythm inside himself: it's the only thing that will lead him to a humanized performance where the metronome is of no use." "Forbidding spontaneous, by ear performance, is the same as to force a child to learn to read before he has learned to speak." "Rhythm is the principle of life and of all arts. Rhythmic music accompanies us in our daily activities, and even babies, as soon as they come into the world, have already assimilated it by inheritance."

News Rudiments A technique needs constant and appropriate study in order to preserve all its potential intactthrough time. Rudiments is a study based upon the classics (outdated) that consists of repeating rhythmic models by heart over and over again, gradually gaining speed. There is no rhythmic control of the execution of this kind of monotonous and repetitive practice because the drummer is playing by memory and practically by ear. There is no music being read and practice is aimed solely at one type of execution: “in rhythm”, accentuating the downbeat (which is always the loudest) like when one begins speaking. With new rudiments - developed as exercises to be read and practiced through constant and precise acceleration of movements (made possible by the change in figuration) -, drummers will study technique, reading and rhythm at the same time. This way, not only will they put an end to that monotonous “in rhythm” practice, they will also develop control of the speed of the beats. Just by studying the sequences and the various fingering, practicing will prepare the drummer for: fundamental rhythmic figures from two to fifteen beats (downbeats and off-beats) single, double and triple stroke rolls with accentuated downbeats and…Citește mai mult
