Wow what a great demonstration video! Going to show this to my percussion section!
Thank you so much! I'm glad these are helpful for that purpose.
One of my favorite hammer instruments that I've played in a percussion ensemble last year. As long as I hit on the right spot with an adequate power on my hammers, the bars sound and resonate so beautifully.
Today I had a really bad first time playing the chimes in band class. I didn’t know what to do, and barely had any piano experience so it was really hard! I don’t know how to read treble clef (I play the trombone so I can read bass clef) We were playing a new song for the first time, but the band was playing so fast and I was struggling a lot. And on the sheet music, it was “A” I think, but apparently I was supposed to hit B flat or D?? Something like that. Anyways my teacher then proceeded to make me play my part in front of the whole class, and as everyone stared at me as I was struggling, the teacher then stated; “See? This is why I asked you guys if you had piano experience. Maybe we lied about that.” or something along the lines of that. I told him MULTIPLE times that I USED to have piano experience and that I had more drum skills (Not that much but still more than piano). He still let me join percussion (My band teacher only lets people with piano experience join percussion). So to sum up my long rant, I was left feeling hopeless, confused, embarrassed, and lost. I think instead of just watching me struggle, he should have tried to help me figure it out! Anyway, PLEASE LEAVE ANY TIPS YOU HAVE FOR CHIMES
That sounds like a hard experience. That can happen to us as percussionists because our parts are so unique and there's no hiding in a section. My advice would be to take the music and make sure you are confident with the notes and rhythms. Then get to the rehearsal room during a time when there isn't anything going on and practice your part - one measure at a time. After doing that, you should ask your band director to listen to the part and give you any advice. It's hard, but take that experience and try to grow as a musician from it with humility and hard work. Keep your chin up!
Awesome this is underrated
Thanks!
Cool
Is it possible to tune the fundamental and the partials? Is there any way I can hear only the fundamental? I hope you can help me!
Thanks for reaching out. I don't know of any way to do that because the harmonics are such a natural part of the sound.
@@brettjonespercussion thanks. The thing is that is hace some bells that are out of tune, and it is Hard to tell if it is sharof flat besarse all the partidos are ver clase together.
