[MrMattaun]

'Until....well...until the neighbors complain'. Epic.

[J3WP33T4H]

He is god of trumpet

[MaclarenW86]

What kind of mute did he use on flight of the bumblebee?

[DvSLies]

Notes? LOL

[viicoPalacios]

[EpcNick]

[soapt141]

I just talked to my dad about this and found out he is my great uncle omg amazing two trumpeters in my family super beast

[soapt141]

I can play 27 measures without breathing and yes I swim a lot and I can play the flight of the bumble bee took me 6 years to get to where I was in tune with my instrument I love the trumpet.

[theaed02]

NOT TAKING ANYTHING AWAY FROM "RALPH" HE WAS GREAT...BUT LISTEN TO THE BUMBLE BEE BY HARRY JAMES ON U TUBE. AT ONE POINT YOU WILL THINK THERE IS A BEE IN HIS HORN. HE PLAYS IT WITH A OPEN HORN AND HAS THAT SOLID SOUND THROUGHOUT

[zpit23trey]

And there is nothing wrong with a pea shooter my pro band teacher uses one

[zpit23trey]

He is my idol one day I want to play like him

[eagleno156]

Pretty impressive. Shame about the "pea-shooter" mouthpiece.

[dude40100]

[LennyBaez8]

[davidlee980503]

3:44 "For a sample, in one bread, (plays trumpet) mmmm tht was one good bread"

[davidlee980503]

[TinyLocomotive]

[Parabloop3r]

[Mistric24]

"Well, like the bumblebee" *smirk*

[PxUxRxEoLegacy]

He has a really long shank.

[willthetrumpetdude]

@futureneoxinCEO Teachers dont usually like u their students using pinky ring as most people have a tendency to use it to pull the horn onto their lip

[miguelon1091]

maeeeeeestroooooo!!!!!! nadie como el

[Hokieson1]

Yeah I know I was just kidding, just pretty annoying.

[futureneoxinCEO]

@everyone- i hate band teachers! pinkie in the hook is so much more comfortable! even in our tests i think they take off points! why would they have it if you weren't supposed to use it?

[TheDiensn]

The reason he puts his pinkie in the hook is because when you are a professional, you can use any position you want, as long as it allows you to play well. Your band teacher suggests you to not to because it does limit your finger dexterity slightly, since your ring finger and pinkie are jointed.

[acmadsen]

don't ever let me see you with your pinkie in the ring again

[Hokieson1]

See even he puts his pinkie in the hook! F u band teacher.

[TheBlurp123]

wow what an amazing player

[987imawesome]

99 people are just haters

[HeyItsMariaxD]

Hes Mexican! And Not Asian!

Haha,. xD!

[ElBroncodelNorte]

I don't know why but this video makes me so happy.

[Nerd4Sales]

[3126Dani]

[TheRSG74]

[DJSoNHustle]

[webcamfan2569]

ITS A BRASS INSTRUMENT! WIND INSTRUMENTS OR WOODWIND INSTRUMENTS ARE INSTRUMENTS THAT REQUIRES A REED TO PLAY! YOU DON'T NEED REEDS TO PLAY THE TRUMPET! EXAMPLES OF WOODWIND INSTRUMENTS: 1. Bb CLARINET 2. A CLARINET 3. Eb CLARINET 4. ALTO CLARINET 5. CONTRBASS BLARINET 6. BASS CLARINET 7. Eb ALTO CLARINET 8. SOPRANO SAX (ALTHOUGH ITS MADE OF BRASS ITS STILL A WIND INSTRUMENT.) 9. ALTO SAXOPHONE 10. TENOR SAXOPHONE 11. BARITONE SAXOPHONE 12. CONTRABASS SAXOPHONE 13 FLUTE 14. PICCOLO

[Pain0rDeath]

@webcamfan2569 did he say woodwind? no, he said wind instrument so any instrument that requires u to blow wind inside is a wind instrument

[skullkid9830]

@webcamfan2569 Woah man take a chill pill or turn off your caps, yeah you know your instruments g4u, but that's an overall name for all of the ones you just said.

[aFlamingTaco]

@MeTube7734 if i wear you take rafeal's advice its all in practicing scale after scale after scale then the song is cake and to control your breath try to better how many measers you can play in one breath

[MeTube7734]

that treacherous song - flight of the bumblebee. been trying to learn it for awhile. Only got a little bit. its still pretty slow though. any tips on how to learn it. I'm in 8th grade and play the trumpet.

[TheHatTuba]

I want to hear him say, "say hello to my little friend", then play

[radioheadkids2]

@TheHatTuba LOL

[tre1021]

[Poprocker2752]

I can play it that fast. I love trumpet I finally got a silencer.

[journeyquest1]

They should change the name of this song to: Tijuana Taxi Ride.

[EpicPhalure]

...and then add another measure. and another one. and another one. and then ANOTHER one. just keep adding measures until.. well.. until so much carbon dioxide builds up in your body that your brain is no longer getting sufficient oxygen, your capillaries start to rupture, your skin turns blue, and finally... you die of suffocation.... and then add another measure.

[Tibialmario]

top class

[sajprj]

....i would rather have this guy as a teacher.......

[BabyBoiQue]

@usairforce10 fuck me why? what did i say wrong, i was saying that as in, "what in the world, how the hell did he do that"
