Learn Drum Set the RIGHT way - Beginner Lesson - No Drum Set Required!
As a clarinet player- try switching to vandoren reeds such as the v12 or v21 as they play so much better than rico. Also I bought that stand for $20 I can't believe I could have gotten a whole clarinet for another $40.
I've had luck with both reed brands. I've found it's more about the individual reed vs which brand as long as you at least have a decent brand (Rico, vandoren, juno, lavoz, etc.).
Clarinet IS the stand (those who know,know)
😂
I had a Yamaha clarinet for a while and I could NEVER get the hang of it. My coworker was a woodwind player and she wizzed through the scales thus proving I was the problem. I let her keep it because I don’t have the right anything for woodwind. I’ll stick with kazoo.
Nothing wrong with rocking the kazoo! Clarinet is definitely not easy to start though, I've found alto sax to be easier to pick up as far as woodwinds go.
My day is going great, thanks for asking
That's what I like to hear!
I've seen the whole preinstalled reed thing on cheep saxaphones before, so this is not a one off thing.
Ya, I didn't understand why a manufacturer would think that that would be a good idea...
The Yamaher mouthpiece sounds like a recorder
I wish it played as well as my recorder mouthpiece 😂
when i liked the likes went from 1.7k to 1.8k 😎
🫡
I'll Recommend This To Riker, He Probably Wont Buy It But He Does Like His Trombone
Do a cheap french horn test next please! 😅
Next is flute (sorry! 😂) I'd love to get to French horn soon though!
@@MadMusicBand Flute will be interesting too! :D
Some little words of wisdom from a very experienced woodwind player. Align the reed much lower than you think you should, reed placement can often have as big of a difference in playability as the clarinet itself. As a studying band director, I totally get the struggle of dealing side instruments without knowing the little things :)
I'll give it a shot :)
Had a good day, thanks for asking.
Good deal :)

I play clarinet, bass clarinet, tenor sax, and piano. I can certainly say that that clarinet is horrible. If you’re almost passing out from playing a clarinet while bass clarinet takes much more air, then that mouth peice was made horrible
Yup, shouldn't have to faint to play a note 😂
@@MadMusicBand lol 😂
You gotta get some amazon bagpipes, even if you dont know how to play, theyre a hoot
I'll look into it! Haha
It sounds sort of ok right up until you hear the real one.
They're different for sure, but for $60 I'm impressed with the plastic one.
Glad you got to enjoy the funness of a trombone!
Trombone is awesome!
I’ve spent over $100 on a used instrument one time in the past 33 years I’ve been playing. I picked up my latest trumpet (a mid 40s Reynolds) from eBay for $20 and it just needed some new felt and cork for the spit valves. My oldest son played a trombone older than my parents when he was in band and my youngest is starting next year with a late 60’s Conn. When I used to teach brass band at an inner city school, we used whatever we could get and played our hearts out. I can totally understand why a parent might choose one of these, and I wouldn’t ever call anyone out for it….but, I always recommended finding a used instrument at a pawn shop or thrift store first.
Yup, I typically agree. It's tough though for someone who doesn't know what to look for or whether or not an instrument is actually worth getting if you don't know anything about instruments. An instrument like this may actually be "safer" for someone not in the know, but I agree if you can find someone to help you or a band director who can check over an instrument the used option is viable and often times a better deal.
I will say, the one thing is that you should ALWAYS grease the tenan corks with your fingers. I see horns all the time with cork in all kinds of places it shouldn’t be, mostly tone holes, from people applying too much cork grease by using the stick rather than their fingers.
Interesting, I had never heard that before. I feel like I actually used too much because I had to use my finger. Probably because I just had never done it that way before.
@@MadMusicBand yeah, just take a thin layer on your finger and apply it to the cork works really well you don’t need much. Using your finger also allows you to add a small amount to the inside of the receiving joint if it’s way too tight or the instrument is new.
I made a verbal gasp when the reed was ON the mouthpiece. That’s one of the first things I tell kids NOT to do! Having the clarinet come like that is a really bad example for a beginner.
Same, I actually saw that in the product picture and thought "what am I getting myself into..." 😂
“Percussionists can grab sticks and start hitting stuff” 🤣🤣🤣 as a drummer I had to laugh. I feel your pain my friend.
😂 100%
Marching season might be good for that plastic mouthpiece
you couldn't play the f****** trombone how are you giving us a review we just wasted our time
I'd like to see you polish up the metal on the inner slide stockings with inexpensive automotive polish or something. Additionally, I would like to how it responds to slide cream (Yamaha Trombone Slide Lubricant is a personal fave). Lastly, I wish we could see how the plastic bone, and mouthpieces respond to loud playing for instances like in a marching band. Great video, hope your channel gets bigger. Keep up the good work! :)
Thanks so much! I'll have to keep those ideas in mind :)
Get somebody to print you a hovalin its $20-40 in parts and playable
Woah, have never heard of that, super cool
OK, just basing it off of the sound. I heard Horn a is the plastic trombone horn B was the metal trombone
I say this, I'm also not a noob. I'm in band and I can tell the difference between the brassy feel of the metal and the sound of the plastic. I can just hear the resonance of the brass
The answer is at the end of the video :)
wait so you can still play notes without using the slide
Yup, tightening or loosening your embouchure along with air speed will change the pitch :)
“I dont think theres any CONN’S to using a metal mouthpiece”. I see what you did there…..👀🤣
😂
3:14 I do detect a Final Fantasy Victory Fanfare.
Babababaaaabaaabaaaaba babaaaaaa
I remember I was in orchestra rehearsal with the band kids and the Orchestra kids. I was playing part. I was sitting next to a clarinet kid and I accidentally threw my bow at him.
😂
I felt so bad
For $60 it's not horrible, but it's not good. I am concerned that students won't be able to make it work out of the box, but it might be OK for a backup instrument or marching.
Yup, I'd be nervous as well. At least in my case if I need to get it to a student I can help them learn to with around its issues.
Your Reed is way to high
Plastic Brass instruments are perfect for buskers and smaller traveling bands. If you can mic the bell up on stage it would sound fine. Or in an open air busking situation not a lot of people would notice.
Yup, I've been really impressed with it.
@@MadMusicBand as a former jazz trombone player, I am currently shopping for one of these just because of the cost. I am fully willing to sacrifice the few things this plastic lacks over traditional brass.
@PrinXessDime I'm with you there, the cost to performance is pretty high for a $60 price tag. Even for double that you get a lot of instrument for the money
I wonder why those trombones don’t have the weird trigger thingy
That would make it quite a bit more expensive I wager. Also, I don't know if they make a trigger on a plastic horn.
These videos are really fun! You seem like a great teacher.
Thanks! I'm not perfect but I think it's more important to make it fun 😊
7:08 NOOO WHY WOULD YOU TOUCH THE INNER SLIDE
I dated two girls who played trombone, they were wild I can't undersatnd why....
Your wife looks like a younger version of one of my great friends who is a master flute player. I love these videos, they are so fun as a horn player, please find a cheap french horn
I'll do my best!
Hehe tromboner
Here before you get really famous
I don't foresee anyone swarming me in my local grocery store just yet 😂
Just found your channel and now I want to learn the trombone 😂.
My plan is already working 😈
This is all terrible advice. You cant just turn around the ligature. Your assembly order is messed up, the buffet Prodige is a disgrace to clarinets, you cant name any of the parts correctly. This was hard to watch.
I bet the box opened from the bottom 🙂
Ha, probably. I'm terrible at opening boxes for some reason...
The first thing I learned was to hold the keys of the upper joint down when assembling.
That makes sense, I was never taught that :/
Do you know Jeff ray of Olympic View middle school
#3 Peter and the wolf! I think maybe the duck? My dad played they for us on car rides and it was so much fun
Correct on the piece, wrong on the animal ;) 🐈
someone please tell me what was the tune he played at 14:14
Seven nation army :)
random people be like "Whats with these band kids & sucking Popsicle sticks" i be like "i go through a pack every day"
My wife doesn't like the taste of reeds, but I don't mind it. I do however enjoy complaining about time wasting things drummers don't have to do 😂
Nice 💩💩💩
Please don't use the mouthpiece brush on anything but the mouthpiece. Otherwise, ew.
Can you do a “Cheapest Euphonium” thing? I am dying to see that (I’m not biased towards euphonium I swear)
I plan on getting to euphonium eventually! :)
@@MadMusicBand Oh I’m exited for that day
