What kind of a mouthpiece do you know? Because I am currently searching for one that can help me maintain higher notes. Now I can "hit" about the Double F, and "squeak" the Double A. I've heard Schilke 14a4a is good for high registers, but kills tone. So is it a good idea to use that for high parts in Jazz and such, and use a 3C Bach for other stuff?
@Awshbuscus if you can hit double F (F4) or double a (A4)...i think you do not need anything=) You have to play jusst 2 tones and you will hit the triple c=)))) (c5)!!! I play bach 1 1/2c for practising, and schilke 15a4a...on the concerts...maby you can try vizzuti mouthpice. or J.marchinkiewicz E13-c.findley. it is amazyng!
@themisticism Thank you for the feedback, but I think you misunderstood what I was saying about my range. I think of the double F as the F simply one octave above the staff, the single F being the one sitting right on top of the staff. The single A I think is the one directly above the staff, with the double being an octave above that. As with the triple C, that is an octave higher than what I'm aiming for! But thanks for the help anyways, I'll look more into these mouthpieces.
@Awshbuscus Search around, try different mouthpieces. You're not going to be able to just pick a mouthpiece and say it works, it actually has to work for you. I hate the sharper rims and constricting feel of schilkes, so I switched to Bach. I suggest you try the Bach 3E for any lead playing, and try a 3C for concert/classical playing. Like I said though, try everything, and sometimes you just have to give a mouthpiece some time. You have to "break your lips into it a bit".
Very nice lick.....smooth, high, but not squeaky. Reminds me of trumpet great, Clfford Brown. Also check out Chris Botti on You Tube. Great tone, but with chops, too.
i never said my age that year could be my sons birthday anyways good look keep it up sounds great post some scales exercises or some arbans peace remember resisten and try to toung the high notes ask me some question i could help later....
lee you are now famous, its good to have someone to inspire the people and with a good soul. I hope one day i can see you live and if i get better i dream to play with you please come to mexico lee devil.
i bet you cant do that in the middle of a gig hahahahaha!! Just playing im a high lip especialist i worked many years with maynard the way you attack the notes you sound like you just warmed up resisten is most important good look peace
Hi there!, It's a total shame of you getting all this hate. Especially racism!Some people should learn to grow up and realise that they should shut the fuck up and appreciate your talent! Thanks for posting this. :)
I dont know if he played in an HBCU band but most trumpet players that play in the ALTISSSIMO range have really FAT tones in the altissimo range.. mostly because we have to cut through a band that is loud as a JET
i guess....depends on which HBCU band you play for...and some corps style bands are louder...actually i can think of a few that are louder then any HBCU band.....just saying....but i love HBCU im just saying that just cause you play for one style or another makes your a better trumpet player.
1st of course there are some corps style bands that are louder like take Georgia Tech for example they have like 80 trumpet players and like 90 sousaphone players like no joke!! Of course thed be louder than a Band even like FAMU which ussually has the largest number of people and they would average 400 wheras GT would average 600-700. No it doesnt matter what type of band you are in.. i just noticed that the screamers in HBCU bands ussually have fatter tones in the Altissimo range.
I think your numbers are a bit exaggerated. The largest marching band in the world (or the US at least) is Allen High School in Texas, and they are around 600. Georgia Tech looks to have between 350 and 400. And if there is ever a marching band that has more tubas than trumpets, I will personally slit my wrists.
has anyone ever heard of intonation....it still depends on valve combonations.....for instance i can play high d open, or first, or first and third its all the same note but depending on the player and the horn as to which one is in tune.....same thing will all notes in the upper register
Sad but True. We had a trump off and I took his shiny Trumpet made of Gold. Still hanging on my wall till this day.. And thats the story of How I became the best.
It's always fun to go back to school and make the trumpet players look bad....Last time I went to a b-ball game and played with the band the whole band stopped playing when they heard me start improvising....the band director freaked out...I guess they weren't use to hearing a trumpet player, because I sure couldn't hear the ones they had...
@kidfromredbank Don't need validation.....their first trumpet player was out and the band director was a friend and asked if I could help out. What's wrong with that? I don't need validation just to rock a high school gym....that's just for the fun of it!!!!
@stumpmtsr i had the exact same experience when i went to a basketball game at my high school, i was louder than the entire band and i was barely trying.
