Very cool actually.

This is really good. You should post it on the Musical Overture site so more recruiters and conductors will see it.

Great playing. The sound of the snare drum thins out when played at the edge, ie. the low end of the sound goes away. I challenge you to think of playing quietly in the centre. I know few players do that, but it sounds much better. Especially the quick crescendi in Scheherazade, they just sound fuller when begun and ended in the centre instead of going edge to centre. Thank you for posting publicly.
