@oboistreceng1 That's Vadim Karpinos wrecking shop on timp!! Have you seen him play orchestral percussion? He is right up there with Richard Weiner, Chris Lamb, Marc Damoulakis, etc, etc.

@ich2amt Unless you had a grand permission from the composer himself, adding/omitting something is a unforgivable sin. It is a total disrespect to the composer who spent countless hours composing a piece. It discredits the fact that composer, under all circumstances, is the GENIUS. The perform...

@cragofthepit continued...... If you truly believe that the visual is crucial in a musical performance, convince me.

@youngergermanpope well if the conductor asks him to play the part certain ways, then he is obligated to do so. If Abbado wanted the passage to be rhythmically loose, then that's perfect. I was just pointing out what I hear. No offense for the timpanist. Mind you, he's probably 14837409285x b...

Also, to the guy playing the snare drum. Sounds great!

then it is completely pointless and is only a hinderance.

@JackelopePrincess oops, you're right. I am mathematically so dumb.

@dennisdrums there are many contemporary composers who could write better music. haha David Maslanka, David Gillingham, Joseph Schwantner, Eric Ewazen, Eric Whitacre, John Corigliano, the list is endless.

Simon didn't even get to vote haha

At this stage in this competition, the buzzers are unnecessary.

@jena012893 I played the timp part to this in college four years ago. The section is written in 2/2 and you're in dialog with the bass drums. It has triplets and sixteenths (Gillingham's signature compositional style), much like the snare part to Schuman's 3rd symphony, and it's really importan...

"Forget about my age....... It's what the body does!!!" LOLZ

Connie is soooooo cute!!

This is not Takemitsu Hall. This is Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall in Shinjuku.

@teresajschulte did the woodwinds struggle at the beginning? I own the score to that piece, and howdy it is complicated how the parts intertwine. I agree it is a great piece.

where can i find the whole "Educating Peter, Graduating Peter" series?

I loved the karate dude

Beethoven 7

Mahler 1, 3, and 7

Berlioz Symphonie fantastique

usually, the ones who boost their capabilities are the ones who aren't that good, and the ones who are very reserved are the ones who are superb.

@mavalos88 They ended up 10th in the final.

The whole thing is too loud. Keep the beads where they are, just bring the stick heights down. There should only be three dynamic levels: accents (p), non accented notes (pp), and grace notes (ppp). Keep consistent with all of these dynamics. Rhythms are very sloppy. Work on the sixteenths pa...

@Balisongpro agreed

@cudarzu I see where you're coming from (don't get me wrong, you are still such an arrogant fool), but let me just say this: they have different concepts about percussion playing. We Americans might view this as technically horrific, but he actually is a fantastic musician in a unique way.

@OXghettoXo But a French who lives in Southern France can also enter, so basically, everyone on this planet is welcome to audition.

@esp9762 Have you ever played No. 9 out of that very same book? I'm doing this for prescreening for MSM and I'd like your advice on how to make it musically sound and technically accurate. Also, if I get through, I'm planning on doing this one. Any advice would be appreciated. You sound very...

Dear CSO, I love you

stupid rock'n roll drummers.....

@SplinterProspekt quit, and start practicing concert snare drum.

There's only one word that describes this performance. Atrocious

@HHSbass4 The video that the Row-loff has of her on YouTube doesn't convince me as such.

fantastic soloist. Terrible band.

I agree with the latter. Because if you´re not harsh to yourself, how are you supposed to raise the bar to the highest level possible? I really, really want to be judged by Simon (or percussionist equivalent of him). I love this guy.

Amanda looks like Pamela Anderson.

GREAT PERFORMANCE!!!!! I'd work on the flams, but that's the only thing I can say about your playing. Try to keep the grace notes down. Again, congratulations!! Triple like

@LimboMaster1 where's your video proof?

@ich2amt I'll be honest, I think you're better than Mrs. Davila. Congrats!

@spike423 No, the top 3 is University of Michigan school of music. UNT is top 16

You need to keep all of your fingers lightly on the sticks. Obviously you don't want them cramped, but you need them to gain control. Right now, your roll sounded a little rough. Also, keep the beads closer to the center, right above the snare strainer, to obtain best possible sound.
