  • @CodeProtoss01 so the title says in the monette factory.... therefore we can conclude that it is a...... a...... monette....???? could it be???? nahhhh bach

  • you sir just poured awesome-sauce on my day!

  • Not keeping a beat is super impressive.

  • I love the "well, that was okay" face he made when he finished, like it wasn't anything special to him. hahahahah

  • holy. shit. is that even possible?

  • i like when u make it sound like someone is screaming

  • ZOMG that so sweet

  • hes possed with the trumpet god

  • omg thats really hard dude thumbs up

  • wow! amazing!! and lovin the facials haha

  • I like how this utilization of the corners of the mouth with the embouchure always makes the player look like some kind of bird of prey. lol I use this style and it works well for me. I think you have this nailed.

  • Rapa is a beast! There should never be a "perfect" embouchure, everyone is unique!

  • Sooo nice.... Big Up!

  • holy...... fucking..... shit.

  • He got angrier as the song progressed.

  • his embouchure! wow im impressed!

  • anybody else see satan at the end?

  • flight of the bumblee an octave up. nice!

  • Monette is nice, but the pricing is to high. I'll stick with my $1000 trumpet cuz Ive been playing for over 20 years and can make my horn sound pretty much the way I want it too with technique and using different mpcs.

  • I lika duh chopps. Nice

  • 0:24

  • muy bueno

  • nice expression on that top you look evil!!

  • dude i play trumpet and i need to come to the factory when i graduate and start teaching cuz i need some more trumpet equipment

  • Back in the day I used to get nosebleeds when I'd play that high register.

    My ears were bleeding at the end, Adam ! Woo-Hoo!!

  • I wanna play like that, haha not gonna happen

  • 0:23 looks like hes gonna explode. most epic face ever. :D

  • @alba444 trying to copy my comment?

  • @fir3gun sorry i didnt see it till i looked down but its true :P

  • br0tal

  • i like how at the end hes just like "eh" lol

  • can you please give me sheet music for that?

  • @personman123456789 he actually has it on his website as a PDF i would link it but youtube wont let me.

  • epic face 0:23, lol

  • @fir3gun agreed

  • a trumpet shouldnt go that high

  • @chris1111111000 its only a A its not dat high

  • lmao his face on the last two notes

  • wow

  • why doesn't this trumpet have a pinky ring thingy?

  • Love his facial expressions

  • Uhh... I need to practice.

  • He did A great job. I play the euphonium(baritone) and it takes effort and practice to do a brass instrument. From experience a trumpet is even harder to play than a euphonium so good job u r way better than me

  • whatta beast haha

  • damnnnnn, that is pretty legit I must say. You have amazing valve action and no problem with slotting at all even though I see your fingers fly and you have a pretty high action going on. Damnnn your legit.

  • i love the eyebrows at the end

  • alterlaa :D

    einfach nur spitze !!

    daumen hoch

  • Awesome...!!! Nice a3 at the end:-)

  • yo man dis is insane!!! he plays lightyears better dan me

  • dude.... teach me ur ways lol!!! i've been playin for bout 7 years on a 5c. i've takin bout a year off though cuz of the military. what would u recommend to get that kind of range?

  • chapstick! keeping your lips moisturized is the key. if they are dry they wont buzz. i also use most upperlid, like i center the mouthpiece really low, so my upper lip is barely on the mouthpiece.

  • i play on a 7c now and can get up to a G above a high C. will a 5C or 3C help me go higher? keep in mind that with the 7C the high notes sound like crap

  • the 5c or 3c r bigger mouthpieces so they won't necessarily help u get higher, but that g above high c will sound glorious. i've been playin on a 5c for bout 5 years and i love it

  • you play very well. and make hilarious faces too : )

  • Crazy high notes...I wish I could play like that!!

  • forget the pitch! the speed of the notes!!!!

  • well, I'd love to have both his pitch and speed..:) He's great.

  • esa postura es el yoga jerome callet escribio un metodo de eso ... (Y) no demora mucho agudisar solo el desarrollo de la afinacion ( que da lo mismoa nada x k de nada sirve agudizar pero desafinado) ... bueno aquellas personas que ejecutan la musika suerte y bendiciones !!! (y)

  • yu make it luk so easy. lmao

  • lol hes like the chuck norris on trumpet x)

  • @gingin3636 LOL! xD

  • wow

  • monette factory staff member: "ok i think the mouth piece works. you can leave now. (whispers: that guy should not come back because he plays better than i do)" NICE!!!

  • TEACH ME

  • AWESOME

  • aw man straight beast mode

  • His face is really scary to me.

  • the technique he uses at the end when he pulls the corners of his lips out is weird

  • Perhaps a video of you showing us how i is done?

  • the idea is to force limited air thru your lips and by stretching your embouchure/lips it pushes forced air thru a smaller opening thus creating higher pitches. producing a controlled high ass note as you just saw lol

  • yeah i dont really understand that technique tho. Im not saying its wrong, but I was taught to push your cheeks toward the mouthpiece that way more lip is in there to buzz and create a richer sound. (im a baritone player...this might be a baritone thing)

  • @LedZeppelin1967 dont stretch..... compress.

  • All good players will tell you that range comes from air, not pressure or stretching. It takes a faster air stream. If you use pressure you won't have a long career, you will end up like lous armstrong or maynard fergeson. Witrh satchmo's syndrome. It shouldn't take any more pressure to play a double G than it does to play a top of staff G. I'm just giving my opinion. Nothing works for everyone.

  • @civicdude101 I agree that pressure is not the way to increase range in brass playing...I'm not quite sure that I'd put Maynard in the category of Short Careers...The guy was living the dream longer than most jazz players live period haha

  • i just shit my pants....

  • haha me too!!! but he uses a mouthpiece that lets him go that high. standard mouthpieces are really only used to go from low C ro high C

  • nahh mann i can a solid high e on my 5C

    mouthpiece is not always the key to high notes

  • Your absolutely right. I use a bach 1 1/4c and can play a double G. You don't need to play higher than that although it is fun. Alot of young players switch to a schilke 14a4a thinking it will give them range. I try to tell them there are no shortcuts to range and endurance. It takes hard work, not a mouthpiece. Check out my channel and let me know what you think, I'm trying to get good again after a very long layoff. 10 years.

  • yeah i use a 5c most of time

    that is true what you said though

    yeah sure i will check it out

  • Mate, all I can say is what have you been doing for ten years. That tone is magnificent, why did you stop. I layed down my trumpet 15 years ago and you almost inspire me to pick it up again. But then I remember that hacks like me might be able to play a note, but musicians like you can play the tone. Give it all you've got, cause you do have talent.

  • the shilke will help a little with range but not as much as people expect. i used to use it in high school for the really loud really high part in our marching show. but the mouthpiece itself just gives off a bad sound.

  • @SeabeeMerbitz i totally agree. most symphonies would kick you off stage for the sound it produces. but for big band or jazz it could work.

  • he's my new idol

  • What notes were the beginning. I want to learn that! Lol

  • wow! I've been a fan of great trumpeters for almost 20 years now, but Adam is new to me. Seriously great chops sir. Reminds me of a you tube clip I saw a little while back of a young Doc Severinsen. Total control and laser tone!

  • Haha, I love the angry face at the high A

  • i tried my fckn hardest to learn flight of the bumblebee but i fkn cant!!!!

  • omfg i just crapped myself

  • i couldnt play that fast if i practiced it for a month

  • i couldn't play that fast if i practiced it for a year

  • don't worri about this man...he's a Pro ;) i could practise my whole life and i'd never play as fast or high as he do ;)

    and this after 12 years of playing trumpet -.-

  • holy shit that was amazing

  • nice trumpet! thats amazing!!!

  • You can't argue with the sound. People do what works for them. Gillespie played with his cheeks puffed out, but can you honestly say is wasn't AMAZING? Okay, say your embouchure is a perfect set, are you better than Adam? Alright

  • You've actually given no real reason why smile-style embouchure's "suck". And given your numeric user name, I'm guessing your just another troll... *sigh*

  • @trumpet90909 I have a question: My embouchure is not centered (Mouthpiece placement is about 1/4 to the left of the center) and I cannot play at all well when I do center the mouthpiece. Will this hamper my ability to play to my full potential? If so, is there anyway I can remedy this?

  • @bigsolidkid I am just centering my embouchure and I am quite optimistic.

    My sound really is much better than before (after 3 weeks), but my height has shrunken a whole lot. I think it might be up to normal again in about six weeks.

    I would recommend trying to change, although it is very tough and frustrating the first couple days. I think you will be rewarded for the effort in acouple months.

    Hope this is helpful :-)

  • @bigsolidkid No and don't try to remedy it. I also play a little off to the left, it's just a case of either mirror practice and/or where your teeth sit. Don't let it bother you - just let it sit where it sits most comfortably.

  • r u f*cking kidding???

  • damm hes the best.........

  • This dude has a FANTASTIC scream face...lol! It's like the 'A' he is playing is him breathing fire. That's the way it should be!

  • Yeah, lol the A is playing him! lol :P

  • I like how at the end he is just like "Yea its decent" Lol!

  • O_O Adam Rapa...Beast

  • Brilliant!!

  • this guy is 1 of the best players i ever heard stupid

  • This sounds like it is in 7/8 like 'Fright of the Bumble Bee'.

  • this is an exerp from fright of the bumble bee.

  • I like how the eyebrows go up the higher he plays
