My
name is Philippe Vignon, I was born in
1954 in Chirassimont see
"Indépendante"
, a small village one hour from Lyon, to the
West. I work in the textile industry as a
creator in light curtains and upholstery fabrics. |
| ˇ
I
belong to a family of drummers, dating have
to 1855 see story
. After studying the drum, the piano, the
percussive instruments, I started producing
my own compositions, in 1972. I have been
a member of the Sacem since 1977. At the same
time, after one year spent in the Air Force
Music Band of Dijon, I began teaching French
Drum, and to take some responsibilities inside
the different French Musical Federations. |
| ˇ
In
1996, after long experience and regular hard
work, I published an instrumental learning book for
the French Drum in two volumes see
"Drum"
, which was immediately recognised as very
innovative in its conception, complete, progressive,
easy to use, open towards original rudiments.

Today,
I am a publisher for this learning book, of course,
also for two collections of pieces for Drum
and other percussive instruments, for several
pieces of variety music for bands, for soloists,
and even for Piano. A price-list is available
from myself in Dareizé, as well as
all other information about my productions,
and all inquiries about the French Drum.

I
also work as a teacher for Drum in several
Music Schools, and I am the conductor of my
band in Chirassimont, which is highly-classified
in its category through national competitions
in France. |
