I was a bass in the chorus for this during college. The conductor put bass drums on either side of the stage just for Dies irae. I was standing 5 feet from it. I remember it shaking my bones.
When I played Mahler's 6th, playing on a second violin section, at the first time I almost release my violin with the Hammer part, my muscles was done... I understanding you!
French horn player, I remember playing Isengard Unleashed while being seated right in front of the bass drum. if it weren't for my chair, I could have rested my back against the skin. That was unironically one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in an orchestra. The worst one was that time when I had the glockenspiel less than one meter away from my left ear when performing the Ecstasy of Gold. By the end of the piece, I was nearly deaf from this side. The joys of narrow stages.
I've played with a wind band in a medieval themed parade (we were playing stationary under our towns castle) and I can assure you, the drums were way louder than the whole brass section giving all they've got (we even had fireworks and you could still hear them, and you could feel the actual shockwave vibrating inside your stomach). Drums in fortes really give a lot of character and strength
@@lucasparker2692 I don’t wanna be “that guy” who corrects everyone, but the drum sound cannot be q shockwave, as shockwaves are defined by a difference in pressure (a disturbance) that propagates faster than the speed of the sound in that medium. But we can say it’s a big bonk
Once in music camp I was at the back of the violin section and to the right of me was the bassoons and the trumpets then to the left was percussion... I swear my ears have never felt so tortured before.
@@Leaguecitybrass Playing in a community orchestra, our low brass section made a clarinet player quit at dinner break. Shostakovich 5 or something like that? Dude was MAD.
I once saw a Philadelphia Orchestra performance in which the percussionist stood between TWO bass drums, tilted upward to face into the auditorium. He swung the sticks backwards to strike the drums simultaneously. You could feel the concussion up through the floor and into your seat. Who knew the end of the world could be such fun?
I remember playing concert bass in High school, and for our senior concert, we did a piece that was this war between 2 cosmic gods. During the moment which the gods themselves finally clash, it creates the destruction of all matter as we know it, and I gotta say, throwing my whole body into that drum to signify it was easily one of my favorite moments in band, whether that was in rehearsal or during the performance. 20/10 would do that again.
Maybe it"s possible, but with physics and acoustics It's always a problem to calculate those things, to have an objective statement. It dependes of the hall's size measurements, floor material, instrument material, etc. And to that, sum up the fact that all players have different stroke types, arm lengths and mass, etc. And I didn't even considered psychoacoustics perceived from the audience.

@@Thetruepianoman There is also the theory in science that a sense of rhythm is an evlutionally developed "instinct" in humans, because we are a social species. Rhythm enables you to work together in groups. So we are naturally suspectable to a rhythmic beat.

This guy: yo conductor how loud should I play play this. Conductor: lmao m8 just yeet that thing across time and space This guy: ayyy say no more I gotcha.
When you hear this in person it is so moving. The entire building vibrates, the humidity and temperature rises and the air pressure goes up. Something a recording cant replicate.
Bass drums empirically put out the most sound pressure of any instrument. They’re not always perceived as the “loudest” because the low pitch isn’t as noticeable as higher frequencies, but the camera shake shows you there is a ton of energy there.
As an organist I feel so much anxiety watching the entrances for this. Drums and organ have this in common - once the sound happens, people will notice it, and you can't take that back.
I played the orchestral part of Mendelssohn's requiem on organ with a wind quintet. It was my first time playing with other instruments. The conductor said "the bass notes are behind." Well of course they're behind, it takes time for 16' pipes to speak, and playing them early will throw off my hands.

True story, in Wind Ensemble High School we had a song that I played Gong on(I normally did Timpani, Tom's or Snare). Being the 1st run and sight reading, it was an sFz attack right from the beginning. Never hitting a Gong before I hit way too loud. The whole brass section in front of me almost tossed their instruments out of fear and my band director turned purple he laughed so hard and we had to take a 10 min. break. True story!
One of the things that made me respect percussionists was the conductor explaining that with gong particularly you actually have to hit it slightly ahead of when it needs to speak because it takes a bit of time to get vibrating. “Piece” by the way. Not “song.”
@@phthartic Yes its hard being a percussionist, but I think all sections are difficult and important in am ensemble. Yes you are right by the proper term piece, been so long since I played in ensemble setting. I just make drum covers now and call it songs haha. I used to love ensemble music and like classics though. Ride by Samuel Hazo and Lincolnshire Posy with all movements I still listen too.
@@-Meric- Yes but even a quick google search of "Midi 127 note velocity stackoverflow" will tell you that those are bytes are signed integers so you only have 7 bits in each byte to express magnitude, leading to a total of magnitude of 127.
Playing percussion is fun. One concert in high school we were so crammed on a small church stage every time I played the cymbals the air literally parted the trumpet player's hair in front of me! He would just smooth it down after each song😁
It’s fascinating how the shockwaves can be seen due to the distortion of light. Look at the choir and see how their outlines get brighter with the beats XD

It actually IS a shock wave. Sound is just the compression of air moving in a wave.
absolutely is. lots of rock drummers have cams behind their drumkits when playing live and you see the exact same thing happening. its a big shockwave
one time i was in Aula Simfonia Jakarta, the drum hits too hard it shatters some glass in the railing

I prefer to tilt the bass drum horizontally so I can hit like a Taiko drum with all the force of both arms

really?
As a non percussionist, why does he swirl his stick around the drum before hitting?
@@trombonetribute6433With some percussion instruments it helps with the vibrations. Lightly hitting them right before a big hit helps make it louder.
@@christiankremer8862 that is super cool, thank you.
