MacArthur Park - Slide Trumpet

[KroMcLovinFaSho]

I see the TCU logo, to which I say GIG 'EM!

[TheOmari12]

is it a b flat instrument

[kennyyoyoyo]

A slide trumpet and a soprano trombone are exactly the same thing. Same key same mouthpiece everything is the same.

[Harimakum]

@kennyyoyoyo they're not the same

a soprano trombone has a longer bell section

whereas slide trumpet has a shorter bell section

[bwvbach]

HOLD YOUR SLIDE CORRECTLY!! ha jk but seriously

[xxxUnseenSoulxxx]

[stevenhamlin1000]

holy shit

[tatersalad58]

Lol, awesome. XD

[ClueLou]

sweet, didn't know these existed!

[XxRoscoxX]

Soprano Trombone...

[JeffZoch]

Soprano trombone uses a trombone mouthpiece actually, slide trumpets actually use a trumpet mouthpiece so they ARE different I guess

[SJCSmusic]

@JeffZoch no, they are the same thing

[sbarnman]

How can I get a copy of that music? I've been looking for it to play on my trumpets.

[jswilliams74]

No music. I played this by many, many times listening to this, and have learned it by ear.

[tromuniapp]

@SeeSimoneAlexander It's called "MacArthur Park" dumbass lol

[manta965]

[jswilliams74]

It's a Berkeley. I got it on eBay for about $100.

[sewas1232]

[theflyingGoats]

That was cool

[fagbowsa]

was this in kill bill ?... the song sounds familiar.

[OriginalShrimpVendor]

Hey nice job! Im currently in highschool and play the trumpet. I want to get one of these just because they seem realy cool. I was just wondering is this called a slide trumpet, or a supprano trombone?

[jswilliams74]

That's why I bought it- just for fun! I found it on e-bay for about $100. They are called both a slide trumpet or a soprano trombone.

[cj614]

@jswilliams74

i think "soprano trombone" is its official name. slide trumpet came from it's size, im guessing. but the actual slide trumpet looks nothing like a soprano trombone imo..

[manta965]

@cj614 got the name frome its range you play a trumpet and sop trumbone side by side they are exactly the same in sound and range

[lightingblade5]

@jswilliams74 dose bereley sound good to you b/c im looking for a jupiter because its a name professinal brand

[namttam1992]

can be called either, the names are both the same instrument

[manta965]

@OriginalShrimpVendor i found a nice looking jupiter commently sold for 400 us going to get it soon i hope

[ChangeWontWait]

very nice, just need a little more practice hitting the slide positions, i was thinking of getting a slide trumpet myself and was wondering watch music do you read trumpet/cornet/trombone and if trumpet/cornet, do you play in treble or did you find bass clef music for it?

[jswilliams74]

Yeah, my positions need work. This video was shot a couple of days after I got it, so it was pretty dirty. I have been practicing it and am getting better.  I usually read my trumpet music, but this was all by ear.

[grantnlivvy]

wow............that was good.btw,if u keep saying your not a lead slide trumpet player then your never going to be a slide trumpet player.

[percyjacksoneragon43]

wat song is this?!?!?!

[jswilliams74]

This is MacArthur Park by Maynard Ferguson

[happysquirrel8]

i like this a lot man. i play some slide trumpet myself from time to time. what mouthpiece do you use?

[jswilliams74]

I was using a Marcinkiewics 10* for this. It's the only small mouthpiece that I have found that works for me.

[darkmatrix203]

thats pretty damn good considering you say that you're not a lead player

[jack07981]

NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D

[jayrulz223]

wow man. you say your not a lead player but that was pretty good, even more impressive that it was on a slide. keep it up, i love that song

[nickwilliams628]
