Mellophone & Trombone Battle

[MrMakabee]

To me at first they sounded alike

[LOUDPACG]

MELLO PLAYER WAS KILLING THE TRILLS,TBONE YOU SHOULDNT BE PLAYING IN MELLO'S RANGE.

[StefaentheWarrior09]

I just had to watch this...and say it's awesome! I play trombone, and my sister plays mellophone for marching band!

[darkmega159]

What mellophone you use?

[mellofellophone318]

as moss would say "no no too many fracks just leave ur mouthpiece in the case"

[theblewlite]

try working on your tone quality. You might be able to play loud, but playing loud with a crass sound just sounds bad.

[daviddonaldson619]

i live like over here

[daviddonaldson619]

and im white

[pyrochinchillaX]

Those are absolutely god-awful tones.

[fluffykenz14]

@plymouth2016 Awfully AWESOME

[305JENNIE]

[MusEdMello]

@nigelholland3 not Carcasians lol

[GasolineAndNails]

don't listen to the haters. people don't seem to see the kind of skill it takes to play that well at those dynamic levels. great job.

[metallicarulez619]

love the effect on 0:48 lol mellophone!!!!!!!!!

[JrvUnleashedMusic]

Nice way to completely kill the tone quality of those instruments. What ever happened topping each other by upping the actually difficulty of what you're playing instead of just playing louder?

[RiverofDoubts]

haha ring my bell, just got paid, and espn brings back memories.

[MelodyBringrr]

@mukraf i play the f-horn and i'm black (lite skinned) and i'm the best @ my school.

[flyingfishlu]

[ThanksfortheObvious]

:D my husband plays trombone, and i'll soon be playing french horn.

I think a battle is in order. >:D

Very nice job guys :P

[Okami2308]

i find it very hard to play with a cold mouthpiece.

[mukraf]

Black person playing mellophone... Sorry, but you just don't see that. lmao

[Daimondgirl07]

@mukraf If u have ever seen a traditional marching band than u would see a black person playing mello. ie.Norfolk <3

[atldjyungsta]

@mukraf wat r u talkin bou traditional bands do, if u dont kno wat dat mean we march 90degrees come to atl or go to my school stuff on youtube stephenson high school

[mukraf]

@atldjyungsta I never said anything about a traditional band....

[Coraircate]

[59sawfsider]

@Coraircate that prolly just how its arranged for them all band directors arrange differently

[whatever7x7]

[Stripes1231]

@theiceman259 lol

[JSmoove954]

i can tell a beast when i see/hear one...and that mello player fits the mold...great tone quality (whoever said it was bad obviously doesnt know what their talking about) great control in all registers...and he has a good book...he was obviously prepared for a battle...kudos

[yakeemleeyll]

i kno he can go past dat c he should try it

[bandnerd4life33]

terrible tone. terrible intonation. just terrible

[PHSMustangSAXPlayer]

why does the mello and trombone sound the same?

[hadekband]

cool sound.

[widebank]

mello>trombone

[OthaBean]

lol we flat as h#ll. It's feburary and its cold lol.

[SouthpawdShredder]

you both sound flat and its too much of the same thing but not bad mello! :)

[kendrickwheat1]

that mellophone player go to hard he live!!

[ira00019]

4:44...wow pretty sick!!!!!!!!

[SuperKibbley]

the opening was epic but then it was kinda tedious until 2:50

MELLO FTW

[MrKennethwilliams]

men damn that mellophone player is to damn live for anything or anyone if a nigga come at him they better come hard!!

[flytallerkin]

I would love to see a contrabass mellophone

[timebomb555]

espn

[thunderbird1]

well..verry good but..if you are going to play loud, relax, open your jaw just a little bit more...

[OthaBean]

Ima try dat! Good lookin!

[MrKennethwilliams]

thats..how he play loud dude!!!!

[archl0rd5]

yall are both very good. nice vibrato.trumpone was louder i think but mello played better music in my opinion

[OthaBean]

@archl0rd5 Brother mello got me good this day. I honestly didnt know what to play the whole time.LOl

[TIAPETTIT2012]

its all about what youre used to. i prefer playing with a darker tone and not going over the edge, but thats just me. cranking is a lot more fun though, but like i said, if thats the sound your band is looking for thats fine with me.

[LiLike1994]

yo what kind of mouthpiece is he usin cus im bout to get on mello next year

[AlexandSilver]

mellophone kicks butt!

from a mellophone player XD

[RacheeO24]

GOOO mello

:D

[zippers787]

I think the mellophone sounded better, but it WAS farther away....And brass sounds better from a distance in my opinion. So who knows?........

[cazadorkiller]

Mellophone kicks BUTT! It pwnes all other band instraments by a long shot.

[JazzyStayPhresh]

mellophone n Trumpets kick butt !

[agbulmer]

the mello f in whooped that tbone ass

[TheHector1241]

man, both of u r good. u guys have good ranges

[johnjohn30083]

hearing people crank make my spine tingle.well done

[darkmortality]

espn nice.

[widebank]

i give this round to the mellophone

[TechCrusadaa]

this is not bad its quite funny 2 me.

except 4 tha splat'n i think the screamin is cool.

-tech crusadaa numba 1 tuba.

[atgmusicman]

i know dem ppl in the house was mad lol

[flyingaces888]

its probably the camera that makes it sound different.

[dumbandkid]

Gah, the tones are freaking disgusting.

I you're going to play the mellophone at least try to make it sound decent.

[dpstarcom]

well u have to remember its cold and thats brass's major weakness cuz it knocks us out of tone. atleast we can play in the rain thats always bad ass. but also ur right they have horrible tone quality and are blasting

[topfuel567]

MELLOSZ ALL THE WAY

[lostcause525]

seems like an alto trombone...

[gtradn]

doesnt even SOUND like a trombone...

[nhssaxophoneplayer]

what school threy go to?

[edwardsbassbone]

Lol, they have the same exact tone.

[bigdaddyosofine]

mello won by a mile

[lilnino93]

nah he is right tho when they made the mello they made it like horn (woot) ware its in f then on like trumpet in Bb

[Fallout812]

go trombone

[IceMike23]

No The note u tune to is Bb, but on the Mello the note is F. Becuz u have to transpose into Mellophone registry.

[wariokid244]

no way trombone PWNS!!!!

[Excapted]

Trombone Sounds sometimes like a Midifile!

Mello wins!

[OthaBean]

"Golden time of day."

[painhurts51]

[jamalb1993sbcglobal]

[darvoz]

[bandnerd4life33]

im a mellophone player too and this sucks.

and dont tell me about cold i go to college in the mountains

his tone is horrible hes out of tune AND hes playing music i played in 8th grade...

"sound good" ...right

[dpstarcom]

i agree man we have a rival band in my high school and they sound like shit but for sum reason people still think there the best because they play shitty rap music while were playing crazy train the horse all the good old fashion stuff our current show this year is the beetles

[matthewfults]

since your a mellophone player and in band and since you apparently know so much i trust you know that just about every cameras internal makes any band instrument sound out of tune.

[rrlild1991]

Stop hating guy, a mello player you sound good man and that's coming from another mello player..cranking in the cold ain't easy to do..Good Job

[bandnerd4life33]

[OthaBean]

Good looking on the tip to the person's name whose under me. My range is already up there. I cant imagine higher.

[btoneperfector06]

Brass p;ayers...try putting a pen in your mouth and holding it with your teeth.Blow fast air out...in two weeks your range will increase DRAMATICALLY!!!

[WeasleyOurKing]

That's a myth!

[Astacoidea]

youre a fucking how is that a myth, it works as long as youre muscle limited in your range because basically that builds your lip muscles

[btoneperfector06]

Expect a videro coming from me in August...I gotcha

[jusbcuzz08]

THe Mello player is alright

[charmednevergone]
