Hi Chris, I am a drum teacher in Harrow London suburb. Found your video very helpful. So easy to watch. Loved you soft effortless playing. Let's get the music going again soon! Keep well.
I may be wrong but in bars 4 and 5 when it’s the snare and hi hat, which are notated as quarter notes it seems they are being played as 8th notes when played to a 156 click = crotchet. When I see people play this song it seems they are doing this aswell. Do you know why it is being played like this, I have the trinity grade 6-8 book aswell. Maybe I’m just stupid
Hi Manny. At bar 3 the time sig changes to cut common (2/2), therefore the crotchet pulse doubles in tempo ie it’s now 312 which is why you’re hearing those crotchets as quavers. The click at the point is now minim=156
Hi, does anyone here know what the "Bright Show 2" written on bar 3 mean? It is written again in a Grade 8 overture piece as well but over a different bar.
Hi Pratik. It refers to the tempo and feel of the piece. Bright=fast, Show 2=Musical Theatre/Broadway two-in-bar feel, ie cut common time where you count 2 beats/pulses per bar
I'd be interested to know what kind of cymbals you used in the video. I really like the sound of them. I really like your playing also, and I will be playing this in Feb 2021 for a community theatre production.
Joseph Tuerk Hi thanks for your comment. The LH crash is an old Zildjian A 16” fast crash and the RH one is a new 17” standard A fast crash. Ride is a vintage (30+ yrs old) Zildjian 20” K custom. Hats are again, old new beats 14”. Have fun with the track!
Chris Burgess thank you so much for your reply. It was a pleasant surprise to hear from you this morning. I have an old silver sparkle Ludwig set 1966 and some vintage Zildjian cymbals too. Now I just have to keep working to make them sound as good as you make yours sound!
I wouldnt have been able to learn this song, if I hadn't seen this video. Thank you so much for the upload.

Do you have any suggestions for good cymbal silencers, I live in an apartment to so would be helpful
