From the documentary, "Keeping Score" about Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony (see my channel for 4th mvmt performance video). For a friend I excerpted the parts of the documentary which accompanies the performance that dealt with the percussion section.

  • 4:31. What a bawssss.

  • @tenniscrazy2 You bet! I just met him two days ago! I even played on those very drums for a minute! They are the greatest drums evar!!! He's super funny, too!

  • @Symphorch Really? That's awesome! He's an AMAZING timpanist :)

  • @Symphorch ask him what he thought about playing with Metallica back in 1999. in the documentary they didn't show the Orchestra Musicians opinions bout the show with Metallica

  • What an awesome roll at 1:31! I'm friends with David, and he's such a cool guy!

  • Nice hole in the crash cymbals. Can't say I've seen that before in orchestral cymbals.

  • @ActaNonVerba71 LMAO! Win.

  • I WANT TO PLAY THE TIMPANI!!!!!!!!

  • @youngergermanpope

    It depends on the orchestra, in some cases like in New York at the Philharmonic, the principal (Chris Lamb) plays all the parts that you would play on auditions aka "the good parts", for instance if they are playing Scherrezzade he's playing snare drum, if they're playing Tchiak 4, he's playing cymbals, whereas elsewhere players specialize on certain things like my teacher (Principal of the Syracuse Symphony) specializes in cymbals
