Trumpet Sound Effects (10): The Rip

[jharnum]

that object is a Bubble Mute, from Jo-Ral. It's a type of harmon mute. There are lots of styles of mutes, but this one is the coolest....

[gerrymorris7]

what is the object that is stuck in the hole of the trumpet?

[jharnum]

@MrAmaziinHimself

I'm playing with the key of D and the D blues scale:

The notes are (maybe not exact, but close): E F# [rip] A F# D, then using the D blues scale (D, F, G, Ab, A, C, D) and I probably threw in the major 3rd somewhere, too, the F#.

[jerro95]

what kind of mute is that?

[jharnum]

@jerro95

it's a Harmon mute. This particular one is a Jo-Ral bubble mute w/ the stem out. I've got a vid on my channel that explains it in more detail. Great mute. Expensive, but worth it. 

[KnockOut22]

I would like to start playing the trumpet.

What kind of trumpet is that that you use?

Thanks.

[jharnum]

@KnockOut22

I play a Monette Bb trumpet. When I bought it they were affordable. Now, they're very expensive. They're fantastic horns and I love mine like it was my own kid. Well, maybe not that much, but I'll have it until I croak.

@jharnum

@GenerateX3 you might wanna make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, or make sure your headphones aren't messed up, try some different ones

[GenerateX3]

Is it odd that when I listen to this vid with headphones, I hear the the sound of 8-bit video games, but without headphones, I hear your voice?

[jharnum]

@GenerateX3

Hmmm. Yeah, the sound on this is horrible. I'm about to do some new vids and will re-do this one for better sound (and maybe less talking). Thanks for the heads up!

[LOTRzagorath]

As a composer, how would I notate this effect? Would it be just the same as a glissando, maybe with the word rip above it?

Or else, how would it be done?

[jharnum]

@LOTRzagorath

yep, you got it exactly....

[lazyeddie04]

I'm more interested in know how you did that cool thing after the D.

[jharnum]

@lazyeddie04

haha. Thanks. If you're talking about the "flip", it's a technique that involves a fast lip slur up and then back down before descending down (in this case) the blues scale.

Muito bom parabéns pelas postagens.

thankyou!

do u use all 3 valves for any note

im a sophmore in highschool and im tryinout for state in a couple of weeks

[jharnum]

using all 3 makes it easier, but it's not necessary. When you use all 3 you get more partials in between the two notes, making it sound "rippier" :-). Try it with any valve combination and whichever one sounds best (or is easiest), use it.

Good luck on your tryout!

[nickheck]

@iINIeo

you use 3 valves for a gflat below low c.

[PHSMustangSAXPlayer]

@iINIeo for like extremely low notes... ive never found using all 3 useful on anything other than a pedal... (im a baritone player by the way)

[monkeyat12]

that's amaising john, can I have some tips though for playing each note. I sound like F# then A with out the notes between what can I do differn't

[jharnum]

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, so if I get it wrong, let me know. First, you need to be able to play the notes I mentioned. The A is pretty high, so if you can't play that high, choose a lower note. Use LOTS of air. A good way to practice the rip is to use ONLY the 1-2-3 valve and go from low to as high as you comfortably can, hitting all the notes in between. Start slowly and then work your speed up until you can do it quickly. Does that help? Let me know how it goes...

[freakyfriggers42]

I think you definately need to give more examlpes. Does the 3-fingers aply to every note you start with?

[jharnum]

Yes. All 3 valves down gives you more notes in the rip.
