Great performance!!! How did you take the "ring" sound out of the snare drum? My snare drum rings horribly bad and I want it to sound identical to your snare drum.
That Yamaha snare drum came with a small pad made from German felt, you can barely see it resting on top of the head. The product called "moongel" works well too, google it, check it out. Thanks
This video has helped me. I've been wanting to go back to school. Definitely for music. I started out in concert band, and marched for 5 years. Been playing drum kit for 2-3 years. And i must say I love concert so much more. Thanks for the inspiring me more!
Awesome playing man! I have been at it for a while(almost 30 years).Unfortunately out of the Orchestral game for about 20 years. I came across this by total accident but was very impressed with the technicality and how well you play. Keep it up!
I was looking through your other videos and I was just wondering: how much orchestral literature is there that requires such technical skill as you have shown here? I mean, most timpani and snare drum music for orchestra consists of rolls, as far as I can tell. Any thoughts?
Interesting. I can't say it was nice to listen to because all it is is a snare drum playing at one pitch. However, it was very interesting. I never knew there orchestral literature where you hit the rim of the snare. Very interesting.
What is the difference between an orchestral solo and a rudimental solo? I have to do one of both for college auditions and no one I know seems to know the difference.
It's all about the way rolls are executed. Generally speaking:
Orchestral = closed/crushed/buzzed stroke
Rudimental = open/double stroke
Drum type will effect it also. A rudimental snare drum solo will most often be played on a field/marching snare drum with a kevlar head. As an orchestral snare drum will be similar to a drum-set snare; thinner with a synthetic plastic head.
'Snare' systems, notation, touch/finesse, and technique will change also.
Shinstine solos are very tough. you played it very accurately. but still its just written like sneakers in the dryer.

@Hdrmmhs Maybe thats true. But most orchestral snares sound much better than this. The top head has to be much much tighter than the bottom head.

Excellent technique! I enjoyed watching/listening. Is that a 13x5 snare?

Yes, Yamaha, with the German felt muffler, nice drum!

Check out your local library's website. I was shocked at the large amount of literature the small library had. Let me know what you find.
