Good tempo. Am always amazed when people do this memorized.

@djphotog Caspanas Crisalis. I don't know if i spelld it right.

Very fine job. The difficulty of this piece is beyond imagination.

I guess it all depends on where you are. I'm down in the base and it's pretty insane a times. It's a nightmare when you drop a mallet. This is fast but I kinda like. We are no where ever close to playing it this fast. We've been working on for maybe 3 weeks now. Coming... Slowly but surely.

@SciFiSanta01 i would have to disagree with you on that... the page turns aren't very difficult. even at the speed they're playing it.
Besides, tempest sounds better when it's played at the speed mcChesney intended. This is too fast, and detracts from the actual music, turning the piece into a childish competition to see who can ring a bell fastest.

It's because most of the page turns are to hard to play and not have it memorized.

The timing isn't off. Have you seen the music for this thing?! It's written in 5/4 time most of the way through, but it also has parts written in 3/4, 4/4, 2/4, 6/8, and 7/8 as well, I believe. There's no warning when it switches. Try counting along with the music before deciding it's off timing!

This was another song I really wanted to play when I was in bells, but one of our other bell choirs played it instead. :(
