Odyssey II

a rather sloppy runthrough of Odyssey II by Mike Lynch, from the Rudimental Cookbook. if you're going to bash my playing or something, save yourself the time and dont comment. I threw this together in 2 days after finding out i had to do something, and hadnt played the solo beforehand in months.

How old are you in this? I'm a junior and not able to play this... I think I might be behind.

@flodabeast23 I find that very hard to believe.

If you have any questions, feel free to pm me. I hope my advice is helpful in your development as a percussionist and that you continue your percussive education.

(cont) Coming from a guy who used to be just like you: you will regret most of the comments you made in middle school and high school.

For the performer: Not bad for preparing in two days, and Im sure you know where the rhythmic inaccuracies are, so I won't bother pointing them out, except I would encourage you to be careful of diddle interpretation, some of them seem "slurred". My only other musical advice is to expand your dynamic range. There are clear "louds" and "softs" but no inbetween.

(cont) Constructive criticism is simply debatable advice...you will learn this once you get to college. I promise. All you are doing is offending someone when you say "I can play this cleaner" to be perfectly honest, I don't care what you can do. Im sure the performer in this video is the same way. Worry about you, give constructive advice and move on with your life please. (cont)

Okay. Lets start with the comments. Guys...heres the deal, the word "clean" refers to how you are in relation to a line, obviously this is 1 person...not a line, so "clean" or "not clean" should not be used to describe any part of this.

Next, I dont know why you would even say "I play cleaner than him". Who cares? Not everything is a compitition. Even if he HAD had the time he needed to prepare for this solo, what matters is his interpretation of it. (continued on next post)

calm down all you little middle schoolers choppin on this kid.

You probably can't play it any cleaner than this kid

This is not that dificult... Im an 8th grader i played this for solo and ensemble this year........ The only hard part is the backsticking in measure 51 and 52..
