They said RUSH E was impossible on saxophone

- I spent 40 hours learning what people told me was an impossible saxophone piece. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever played. I spent 10 hours alone on my double tonguing to hit 13.3 notes per second, and the rest nailing down the fast fingering. Hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed creating it!

The song looks easy enough - the impossible part was cloning himself into a quartet...
Haha I've been known for making miracles happen.
After hearing your explanation of how you learned it, I stand corrected 😊. Good work on this my friend!
@@jameslovas9464 Thank you, James! I appreciate the comments, always enjoy your sense of humor :)
Just make a sax that has bari alto tennor and soprano saxes components
Randomly was recommended this while browsing RUclips. Pretty sure we went to Elementary School together 20+ years ago. Hope life is treating you well!
Hi Josh! Great to hear from you man. Can't believe it's been 20+ years - yes, we definitely went to Elementary School together and hung out a lot. Glad this video brought us to this fun catch up and hope things are going great!
Soprano sax: yellow clarinet
Alto sax: the basic sax everyone plays
Tenor sax: the stereotype saxophone
Bari sax: the woodwind tuba
why would you say something so controversial, yet so brave?
@@holdeenyo8914 i like taking risks
I am a proud player of the stereotype saxophone
Don't call that *_thing_* a clarinet
And what was said about my boy tenor?
@@j_o_s_h_t yeah, we don't want to insult the soprano by comparing it to that black piece of plastic
That double tonguing 😳
Took me many takes to nail that. Thanks for watching!
I was about to say that! You get a like and a reply instead.
the fact that he can play all four parts is amazing!
What can I say? I like sax
I cannot believe you have been doing this for 3 years and don’t have at least 100k subs as you are very talented and deserve recognition
Thanks for the kind words! I've enjoyed making these for fun - sharing it with others is a bonus.
I have a good feeling that this video will get good recongition@@sethradman
@@kadenzheng9159it did get some but I mean honestly not enough
the fact that you can flick your tongue and switch fingers that fast is insane. i'm a middle schooler learning clarinet (and moving on to alto sax later) and this is crazy impressive! keep it up, man!!
Glad you enjoyed it! I've been playing for 20+ years now. If you stick with music, it's a wonderful thing. Thanks for watching!
I like the sounds of the the soprano sax 🎷
That double tonguing sounds so good!
Thank you!
You’re really underrated! I’m a young alto sax player (I’ll be a freshman next year) and I started playing in the summer before 7th grade. I started playing tenor earlier this year, but I have to admit, I get squeaky on it sometimes lol. Videos like this are really cool and make me feel like one day i really can be this good :)
Keep it up! Took me 20 years to be able to play this. Stick with it, and you'll have a great time.
I’m a complete music novice, although I love watching random RUclips videos of very talented people doing really difficult things well. All the same, I strongly suspect Rush E is a simple sounding ditty with some serious music theory chops underpinning it. For a daft tune written to be impossible to play by humans, it’s impossibly catchy on by a way that I don’t believe is accidental. Nice version! I have no idea what “double tonguing” is but it sings difficult, so kudos for sticking with it until you nailed it 😁
Holy smokes, is that double tonguing? My single tongue is only up to 136ish, 144 if it's just 4-6 notes, this sounds like 180 then 204 or smth! I'm a clarinetist so I can only do it in the lower register, higher causes some scoops bc of voicing, but it's getting easier over time.
INCREDIBLE ARRANGEMENT!!!
Thanks so much! Yes, it's double tonguing. Took a long time to master. Glad you enjoyed it!
@@sethradmanmy gosh, it was incredible! Thank you for this video! Inspiring me to keep improving my double tongue lol
Brooooooo, that's so coooool, my friend, you're awesome!
I was asking if you made the scores?? Because it seemed really cool to me and I would like at least to play it with my alto sax.
The amount of skill displayed here is mind blowing
amazing !! thank you i was looking for a saxophone (soprano sax especially) version !!! thank you and great job !
Wow!! Amazing as always! Keep it up!
Thank you!
Amazing articulation not only on the alto & soprano but the low parts are crisp as well. Nice
Thanks so much!
How could you dislike this? I don't see anyone else trying it -a fool
This one is my new fav!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
@@sethradman Oh more than enjoyed!!
As a Bari sax I LOVE this :3
HAHA YEH HE LIKED IT
As a saxophonist, i approve of this
When i saw you did not even have 1000 subs yet, I was shocked. You sound like you should have at least 50k!
Meh. It was alright.
10/10 wish I could watch this for the first time again.
I remember hearing it for the first time too after recording - was a fun moment. Thanks for listening!
13.3 notes per second is crazy, great work man
I appreciate it! It was insane indeed.
Woah! My refresh rate wasn’t fast enough to keep up with your fingers!
Took me many, many tries to nail it - crazy fast!
You are very talented! I've played a few different instruments over the years but sadly sax isn't among them. One day, I hope to play that sexy devil of an instrument myself.
Nice!
That soprano sounds great good job my mans
Thank you! Soprano intonation can be tough
Great arrangement, and performance!
This is actually incredible!
Glad you enjoyed!
As a Tenor and Alto sax who's trying to get their hands on a bari sax, this sounds great!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for listening.
Well done. Super clean articulation!
sounds amazing!! not sure if it is easy or hard, was a pleasure to listen
Thank you! It was very challenging for me - probably the hardest thing I've ever played :)
Im a trumpet player that can double tounge really fast which is impressive, doing it on an alto and sopranno sax... 😳 props to you, you scare me 😂
Much easier to double tongue on brass for sure!
I really want more of your videos with soprano sax. Such an underrated instrument (although tenor still better ahaha)
More good stuff to come...
Really good!
just got this recommended to me and immediately subscribed! i have a feeling this is gonna blow up.
Thanks for watching! I enjoyed creating it.
@@sethradman you can tell just by watching you're having a good time :) nothing like finally nailing a complicated piece, and i can only imagine how great it felt to do this! it's insane!! i'm blown away by your talent and all the hard work it took to play this. excellent job, and i'm looking forward to seeing more of your stuff on my feed :)
this slaps, great work!
Really impressive... wow!!
underrated channel
Amazing job!! As a fellow saxophonist I'm inspired to keep pushing the limits on this instrument🎷😎💯
Truly impressed!! Keep it up🎵
Thanks so much! I appreciate it

It's a "home studio" in my closet
I can picture the synesthesia video in my head when I hear this. Well Done
Such an epic video when it first came out
Bro I love it dude amazing job
Thank you!
Bravo !
The fact that he can afford all these is absurd😂 I say this as a individual who plays an instrument and knows how much they cost so I subbed so he can pay his 10000 debt from buying these
I appreciate it 🙏
keep up the good work man,support from a Bassonist :)
Thanks so much!
an impressive feat indeed
I appreciate it, thanks!
Caleannnnn
i have tried this but i failed very fast your so good keep it up
Thanks! I failed a lot too - took a lot of practice.
Wooow Amazing!!!!
Boom!
Hell yeah.
Wow, amazing ! And an incredible arrangement ! Can we have this arrangement ? As a saxophonist, this was really impressive and I wanna try it ! +1 sub
Thanks! I might share the arrangement on Musescore in the future.
It would be awsome, thanks ! I'm waiting :D Good job@@sethradman
Cool
its a shame they can never play together in person 😂
Man this is so cool
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
Well this is insane
Hehe it was fun to play. Thanks for watching!
Finally found a sax version your face muscles must be sore after have to do that on 4 different instruments
I didn't realize my tongue could be sore - it was. But so much fun!
Yes
*Romanian saxophonists enter chat*
Music suggestion: Sonne by Rammstein or The Red Baron by Sabaton! (Or the Godzilla theme! also its my birthday soon so it would make my day if you do something in the video!)
Will check these out. Thanks for the suggestions!
@@sethradman Yw!
Could you play dirty little secret by the all American rejects? That would be amazing
Nice suggestion! Added to my list of songs to consider.
@@sethradman thanks! Also btw I love your channel
This is amazing, and really hard and im really interested in the bari part. Do u think u can send the music?
Thanks for listening! I might share the arrangement on Muscore in the future.
@@sethradman please do ! I would love that
How much lung capacity you got ?
Bro breathing thru nose while playing 😂
Also casual flex of all saxes
I bet Leo p could do this...but he'd be shuffling around all crazy.
He's a beast - so fun to watch!
What model is your bari? love the big bell.
It's a used Keilwerth I bought from a friend - I love it!
Where can get I this sheet music? Also this is so amazing!!
sax is the best also I have the option to play alto along side tenor or bari witch one should i?
Try all them and see what you like most. I enjoy all them in different ways.
@@sethradman im trying bari sax and its so fun!!
I need like sheet music for this yesterday, did you make it all on your own or did you get the sheet music from somewhere online cuz I would really like it
WOW Thats amazing do you have any sheet music for it?
Thanks! I do have the sheet music, will probably upload it to Musescore soon.
Wait, who said that?
agreed
can i have the link to the tenor and soprano sheet music, i want to do this with my bass and regular clarinet
I will probably upload it to Musescore in the future but have not done so yet. Clarinet duo would be fun.
@@sethradman yeah, i just wish i had an alto and contralto to cover the alto and bari parts
This guy has the world's happiest girlfriend.
How do you tongue so fast? 😲
Lots of practice
Tips?
(Tenor saxophone)
post the sheet musiccc
May post it to Musescore, will let you know.
Can i get the notes for tenor sax
who plays tenor sax? I do! 🎷
I wonder wich clone is the real one...
Who said that
All my friends. All my instructors. Everyone on reddit. Everyone :)
@@sethradman nobody said that.
average tmea all state etude
it looks like he sped it up
It really doesn’t, are you in band?
@@Woopwoopwyatt yes i play alto sax i just thought it was so good that it looked like it was sped up

Took me many, many tries to nail it - crazy hard!
Who did? This is nothing for a saxophonist
