@@robgreaney3203 right on, so glad you found it helpful! Feel free to contact me if you have any recommendations of other videos I should make! I get some of my best ideas from my viewers. Google search or Facebook! 🙂

Thank you, I really appreciate that! It is a tough one!

Thank you so much! Messiah is such a wonderful oratorio isn't it? :-)

Really glad you enjoyed! Mine are actually an LP model CP374. Did the tips from the video help mitigate the residual thirty-second drone? 🙂

What do you mean? I'm not sure I understand

Glad you enjoyed! :-)

Thank you very much, sir!

Haha, why the middle finger?

Very glad to hear, my friend!

Most of my educational videos are geared to be able to help students from the grade seven/twelve-year-old level (or adult amateur/hobbyist level) upward. There are also plenty of videos on my channel that are designed for more advanced players. The shorts are designed to draw the attention of younger generations to the longer form videos, in which skill differentiation is more comprehensively explained. Here are two examples: Shakers expanded: ruclips.net/video/s3kzBOcWKqg/видео.htmlsi=8FpnyVm04wvpsxES Post-secondary technique and rudiment drills: ruclips.net/video/Xsm5a4xlEVQ/видео.htmlsi=OuYXEOG2sVVF4MwY Additionally, here is a video on four-mallet technique that explains the predicament in which students find themselves when their grade school-level instrumental music teacher gives them inadequate instruction (right near the beginning of this video at 0 minutes and 17 seconds in): ruclips.net/video/WJu9ft8Di64/видео.htmlsi=RoGbRk2iLv7rwHy_ As an educator, I believe it is important to design videos for a variety of skill levels - not just whatever someone may believe constitutes a "decent" percussionist. You're welcome to continue to weigh in if you still have an opposing perspective; I always welcome productive and respectful dialogue. - Rob :)

Hey, so glad that you appreciate it! The video tends to have its ups and downs with respect to popularity. The numbers certainly go up in December and in the spring!

Thanks for the question! It's a Rhythmtech Cocktail Shaker. Here is the link! www.rhythmtech.com/product/cocktail-shaker/

Next time I'll clean my lens. 😅

From the hashtag you can see they are a percussionist, so that's why

@@UltimateDillon precisely! 💪🏽👊🏽💥🤟😃😃😃

I think you and I are mostly on the same page. Learning counting up the alphabet before learning skips is better than the other way around, yes? 🙂

I do find though that it’s harder to focus on sequential notes (line space line space…. than just focussing on lines or just focussing on spaces). So in the end learning your skips is the end game. I love using manipulatives especially the Wright Way Note Finder which helps students locate notes. Also musical hopscotch is fun and helpful. So many fun ways to help your students learn.

I'm really glad to hear, thank you! Please let me know if you have any suggestions for other topics you'd like to see covered!

Really glad you enjoyed it! Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any constructive feedback, or suggestions on topics that I may cover in the future! 🙂❤️

Waaa ha ha ha ha 😆

Hehehehehe 😆

Tee hee hee 😆

Sweet! I didn't know this. Thanks for pointing it out, and thanks for commenting! 🙂

Haha! Normally I would agree, however this particular venue has bus zones on all sides of it and these particular stops are often used by patrons in wheelchairs, so it's next to impossible...

Hi Scott! Sorry for the delay in responding to you. This drum is 28 inches in diameter, which is definitely on the small side for orchestral bass drums. This is part of the reason why I put technologically advanced heads on it, so that it "sounds larger than it is." If you wanted a larger one, you could always specify a preferred diameter in the score (larger common diameters are 32", 36" and 40"). You can also request that the bass drum be suspended within a frame with elastic cord (which increases resonance), as opposed to just mounted on a stand. The player would likely strive to accommodate the request in the score, but sometimes the request cannot be completely accommodated; percussionists almost always have to borrow large bass drums from organisations. I live in a city of 1.4 million people and I'm the only percussionist who owns an orchestral bass drum, and as aforementioned, it is a relatively small one. Sometimes, borrowing a large drum from a school or a community orchestra is possible, but can be difficult during peak performance seasons (Christmas and Spring), when those organisations want the instruments for rehearsal and performance purposes. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions. I'm excited to subscribe to your channel and check out your content! Thank you for writing! 🙂

It's like a tortured soul. Like the sounds I'd imagine with someone who no longer wishes to live for the pain they've suffered outlasting the pain which may be suffered by the millions for several lifetimes. Eery indeed

For sure, it's weird and wonderful! Definitely has its place in the "special effects" apparatus of what a percussionist is at times asked to do. Thanks for commenting, @SebvanKouwen, I really appreciate it!🙂

@@officialrhysus that's a very colourful description. Now that you mention it, I can certainly see the sounds that this instrument produces being regarded this way. Thank you for commenting, I really appreciate it! 🙂

Thank you! ❤️

Mmmmm, I don't know... I've never met a set of sleighbells that didn't cause me to want to *^&$%#@÷+%&×*^¥€£₩¤▪︎%@#* 😅😆🤣

Thank you! Really glad to hear that you liked it! Please let me know if you have constructive feedback on anything else in my channel and if you'd like to see anything else; some of my best ideas come from requests from my viewers, and I often dedicate the video to the person who made the suggestion/request! 🙂

Thank you for the comment! Regarding the tall stand (the one in this review), it definitely goes high enough for you to play it while standing, provided you're about 5'9" or taller (and, of course, depending on the depth of the tom - that is to say how tall the tom is). If it's too tall, you may have to angle it a bit. I'd say the stand is too tall to use it as a tom stand for a drumset (sitting down while playing). There is also a short model of the stand though, for drumset playing.

Very cool, glad you liked it! What model of Tama are you learning on? 😀

@@lobbyrobby that's a nice one! Let me know if you need any other maintenance tips! Blast me a text or a call - 403 827 8556 😀

@@RobMaciak thank you!

Sorry, I don't understand...?

It's a terrific piece of music, and an honour every time I get to play it! Thank you for the comment! 💪🏽👊🏽💥🤟❤️😃

You're right! Very similar to the "Brian Jones" solution I mentioned! Thanks for commenting! 💪🏽👊🏽💥🤟❤️😃

Thank you for the comment! Please let me know if there are any types of shakers I haven't covered and that I therefore should cover in order to meet your needs! 💪🏽👊🏽💥🤟❤️😃

I suppose so! I'm glad you appreciated the video, thank you! 💪🏽😜💥🤟❤️😃

Haha! I try not to overuse them, but yes indeed, I do use most of them!

And a proud one too! Can't wait until the next time I get to play with you folks!

Agreed! It's so amazing! So glad glad that you also have one! 💪🏽👊🏽💥🤟❤️😃

So glad you enjoyed it! Please let me know if you have any recommendations for more topics I should cover! Some of my best ideas come from requests from people like you! Thanks again! 😃
