Brian Archinal plays Anvil Chorus

[drummerdemon]

EXCELLENT choice of metals.

[Ocielocique]

Soon after I met Brian in '06, my car's left rear break-shoe went missing...

So glad its gone to good purpose!

@jimtfield Check out Steve Weiss Music (do a Google search). You can purchase it online from them.

awesome performance!

[kevinrepp]

where are your feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet?

[ZachHale8]

dramatic, intense, clean, creative....what else can I say, very good recording and performance. The space you're playing in it great too, very resonant.

[DonTwanAntonio]

dude your bad ass

[epkennedy120]

props, cousin

[DerJayger]

Excellent choice of instruments!

[zfsykes]

Excellent! Out of curiosity, what were your sounds on the pedals? I could only distinguish a kick drum.

[percussioneducation]

Very nice performance. Thank you!

[jaisenlaviero]

I'm just interested how you actually manage to memorize this piece, especially at the "Much faster" section with the multiple processes going on between the resonant metals and non resonant metals. That's a lot of numbers to remember!

[RJdrumguy]

but what would you see.....  various stuff played with pedals......

[deicticdrummer174]

id like to see under the table a little more

[suzielovesmusic]

wow, great performance...sweet performance at PASIC last year too

[linguamortua]

Amazing timbres!!! I can't wait to dig into this piece when I have a chance.

[matthewlesco]

impressive

[mrufrufin]

Nice job! It's a badass piece. It may just be my crappy computer speakers but the balance sounds a bit off.  The resonant metals are getting totally covered up by the bass drum and the brake drums. You pulled off a great clean performance though (the part with the 16ths in the RH b/w the woodblocks and the resonant metals. Woooo!)!

[epapeiron]

Nice try BUT

What happened to the tempo, its dancing all the time, what happened to the dynamics, the crescendos and the dims? Also, where are the accents? What about the end?

Is this the end? Well I dont think so.

This performance is kindly bad.

Be more precise and true when performing.

Thats my opinion mate but keep up .

[tigerdude78]

Can you play it?

[Fontimus]

Lol you have thoroughly failed, epapeiron

[stephenbellin]

Way to go man....shit was TIGHT

[denvermarathon]

those are chisels from my grandfathers garage (he was a bricklayer so he had HUGE ones)

[joerules03]

This is great! Excellent energy and poise. I'm starting the piece too. this will be a great resource to look back at. I wish I could hear the cowbell alittle better or whatever it is to the bottome left. Plus the pipes are alittle lost towards the end- probably the video or something though. Awesome job!

[legohens]

I am about to start this piece, what did you use for your resonant metals? What sticks are you using? How did you pull off the metals with your feet, what did you use?  Are you sitting or standing and why? I am just really curious, because no one at my school has ever even heard of this piece and I love it.
