      @@CT_7718 I imagine it's more about not making an errant noise during the performance. I don't know if you could set the mallets down hard enough to actually hurt the instrument.

    • @SmileytheSmile
      @SmileytheSmile 5 лет назад +13

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't hitting an instrument literally made for hitting not hurt it at all? I think he just doesn't want it to make a sound that would play over his voice.

      I mean, that's a pretty shottily made xylophone if it breaks once you drop your mallets on it slightly harder than this guy did.

      It is more of a respect for his craft, as the most important things to do when playing in a professional orchestra is to be incredibly careful not to make any unplanned sound.
      I think it is often underappreciated how quiet and disciplined a group of 80 people can be.
      Making a sound with instruments that are very very easily heard thorugh the music because they cut through so much, is especially bad, hence the care when laying sticks down anywhere and walking away from or towards a set of wind chimes for example. I really love that he is so careful handling the instruments even in a less formal situation.

      It's not very expressive as an instrument, but it definitely can be used to an effect. A piece may want a soft clean sound like in many lullabys or even a moving drone sound like in Holst's Jupiter. It's not flexible, but that's why percussion has so many instruments.

    There are such iconic sounds, like the bass drum.

    As soon as I heard Les Fossiles/Danse Macabre, this percussionist won my heart.

Still have my first pair of concert snare drum sticks!

    Absolutely gorgeous! I am an amateur percussionist and play with the orchestra, I always wish people can have more appreciation on percussion!
    Though also I think triangle is not always like have to wait for such a long time. We are playing Bacchanale at our concert soon, and I'm doing triangle in there. In fact turned out triangle is one of the most important parts for Bacchanale and it is in fact pretty hard! :)

      Yes! :-) Other playing techniques that are great for tam tams and gongs (Paiste tam tams in particular!) are: to bow the edge like he did with the vibes, to drag a special rubber mallet across the surface (it's like a Superball on a thin flexible stick), to strike the gong and then dip it into a large vat of water while it is still vibrating.

And then at the end of the video: an app I wouldn't have even dreamed about in my wildest fantasy. I think the only way to top it off would be getting personally invited to walk around the while the musicians are playing.
    Anyway long story short: THANK YOU.
