1 Man Playing 2 Trumpets At The Same Time In Harmony

[Gordontrek]

Sakes alive....

I play trumpet and I understand how hard that must be! Coordinating your fingers and sending the right airflow through each horn.... mind=blown.

[Omega17297]

There's a guy in my band who can play two trumpets at once. My mind was blown...

[trumpetfruzia]

Awesome!

[TheBemj]

127 Is the best part!

[SHExxLIKESxxBARINAS]

awesomesauce!!!!

[Gordontrek]

WHOAAAA

[Basjuhdeuil]

wowowowow you're awesome!

[xXLONGHARDUNXx]

Fake, watch the comedian do it, you'll probably think that's real to :L

[PONM38]

@xXLONGHARDUNXx sounds like someone is jealous!!! HAH!

[Spud388]

This is really great, how can I learn to do that?

[francisgharding]

Hey man, that's great! I've been trying to do that for a while! I can play the same pitch on two trumpets at the same time, but I can't get different pitches out. :(

[bluemoon433]

its one thing to play two at once ... but to triple tongue on both of them at the same time?! very impressive!

[RediForKing]

That's even cooler than playing two saxophones at once.

[draketrumpetprof]

Very impressive. It's very difficult to get the embouchure to vibrate to different pitches at the same time.

[patrick9648]

thats not trumpets, those are fluegelhorns

[hotlips1music]

You are half correct. The horn in my left hand is a flugelhorn but the one in my right hand is a Getzen trumpet with a tilted bell.

[Ticamai]

Okay, i can play 2 trumpets at once, but it's hard as heck, i can't play high, and it has to be on the same half of an octave.

[wildtrumpet]

Fantastic! I have got to learn how to do that!

[AlexGhone]

Seriously? WHAT THE HECK!! That is the most awesomeness.......

[musicsaito]

Just to correct the non-trumpeters posting, the trumpet with the 45 degree angle in the bell is called a Gillespie trumpet, after the style that Dizzy Gillespie invented. The larger-bell instrument is a Fluglehorn, which is the same length and roughly same size mouthpiece, but conical and produces a much more mellow sound. I'm impressed by both his ability to play both at once, and his left handed playing of the fluglehorn.

[Lombrewski]

hard enough playing one. but 2? thats crazy talk

[nachomamasax]

Awesome, Ken! Love to be in a horn section with you!!

[accskaguy]

It's not as often that he does this style of performance these days, but he can still do it, and do it well. I've been lucky enough to see this done live at a couple gigs.

Keep showing us how it can be done Ken!

[h1u2n3s4t5e6r7]

That's a wierd trumpet

[hiramimundo]

wth what kinda trumpet is that

[musicmanplayer]

The one with the bell aming way up is a Gellespi trumpet, and teh bigger one is a Fluggal horn.

[nickycaba123]

damn ... i have trouble playing one

[WolfStorms44]

no kidding right!

[snowflakes64]

woooooooow!!! THat is really good, i can only play one trumpet.

[Trumpetplayer60076]

GREAT!

[royschneider]

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! BRAVO!!!

[greebling77]

those aren't trumpets the melophones. but still impressive.

[hotlips1music]

Thank you for your comment. Just to correct you, they are not melophones. The one in my left hand is a flugel horn and the one in my right hand is a Getzen Trumpet with a tilted bell

[greebling77]

thanks i thought they sounded a little off from a melophones

[WolfStorms44]

what is a melophone?

[Lchsmb2009]

@greebling77 Actually, the one on the right is a Dizzy style trumpet with the horn at a higher angle, the one on the right is a flugelhorn

[97951]

Wow - Astonishing! Good band too. Banjo adds a nice percussive effect.

[denroy15bercier]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[rlassy]

That is TOO COOL ! Hats off to ya !

[lokiquasar]

that must be brutal for the embouchre... he probably has the lips of catfish now

[Tomcat723]

i would like to throw in there that the one he is playing with his left hand (the second solo) is a flugel horn, not a trumpet, i play one myself. =] very similar though

[jaketazman8]

wow! i wish i could do that.

[ringsanoj99]

wow, he is amazing on trumpet xD :P
