Roy Roman plays a double c with no pressure

Jazz trumpeter Roy Roman plays a double c with the trumpet laid on the palm of his hand. From his instructional video. Roy isn't as involved in the music scene as he used to be, but at one time he was one of the most notorious high note trumpeters in the business. Go to www.royroman.com to learn more.

Sorry about the low quality, this is a copy of a copy.

"ok - that was a double c." What else does a trumpet player need to say?

I thought it was a G# to C# at the end?

Studied with Roy Stevens in the early '70's in NYC before Roy Roman. If you have a gorilla arm while playing, this will fix it. It's a tool to fix a problem and ultimately fine-tune your lip, not a playing style. It gave me a very,very fat high upper register with a shallow mouthpiece. An ability to command a wider range, whether you're playing in the normal "cash" register in the studio or long gigs onstage, was like extra money in the bank. My experience only, patience pays off, YMMV.

@eltonej Unless of course you are playing upstream with a high placement. Which I might add is even rarer, the only person I know that does that is a NYC based trombonist named Sam Burtis, he plays upstream with a 80/20 mouthpiece placement.

@kenzo5716 That must be why he had a permanent indentation in his lip :\ :\ :\

@eltonej  Your comment makes no sense, 90% of all brass players are DOWNSTREAM. Playing UPSTREAM is the more uncommon one, since the main lip predominating in it is the bottom lip which is the weaker of the two lips naturally.
