Drums, bass and vocals make this, absolutely. (bass and drums being the absolute foundation of not all good songs but everything in the world as far as I'm concerned!)
Thanks guys, much appreciated! The sizzle I use is a Kerope 20" with a sizzle chain from Pro Mark on it. Drilling holes in the cymbal would sound better with three rivets but I can't do that to such a nice cymbal:).
Why have I only just discovered this? So good to see behind the scenes! I'd love to work in tech in theatre sometime in the future! So this was cool to see this!
Great! I´m Singer and everytime, when i sing with Orchestra, ithink...ooooh its better to beon the drums...Very cool! Very interessting to see you playíng so much and so correct....awesome
Thats for posting these Chris. I just finished the first non-pro season of the show here in Sydney Australia however it has done short seasons in Melbourne in Adelaide. Such a great book to play and your take on the set up and the book was great to look at prior to and during the season. Cheers.
***** Thanks Rob. No it's not in the chart and it's something new I did for that run in Los Angeles. I'm very fortunate in that they give me quite a bit of freedom and I've learned where to use it and not annoy anyone:). I've been on and off the show now for 8 & 1/2 years so I know when to be silly and when to play the ink.
I have watched the wicked videos on your channel and I love the 'rock' influence you bring to the music and allow the music to act as guide and allow your artistic flair and creativity to add something special to the arrangements. I am always a fan of hearing that special lick/fill that is artistic interpretation makes live theatre that for me. Great videos very helpful and inspiring to fellow drummers (like myself)
Thanks again Rob. Yes, I'm a Rock'n'Roller at heart so I can't help but bring that to the Wicked table. Hoping to get different videos up from the show on my website soon. Very nice to see people are digging the footage).
Chris Jago wow so you were with the 1NT when "No One Mourns The Wicked" was still in it's abridged form? Did it change the number of pages in your book when the tour started doing the full version of the opening?
For someone who has 7-8 years of percussion done from school, and musical experience, what advice could you provide for them to acquire a position in Broadway musicals such as yourself???
If you ask around at your Amateur Dramatic groups where you can start with their shows which once word gets around of you and your ability then you may be in with a shot for bigger shows. Asking to watch a certain member of a pit orchestra on one of their shows they’re playing is also beneficial. For example I started off with my old secondary school musicals and then getting called in and around to different shows by the music service, now I’m getting offers around the Region and sometimes up and down the country. Yeah hope that helps in a way👌🏻 and good luck!
Kieran Boreland Drums you can't. The originals for these things aren't public. My percussion teacher played in this and he said the scores aren't public
I've never realized that so much of this song is done by the drummer. You ROCK. One of the coolest pit videos ever.

4:09 My God, that fill! So good!
Stephen Schwartz is such a genius!

Drums/percussions are the carrying force in all the music, nice to see them highlighted here! Spot on!
Such a cool gig. Just down there jammin, with 3000+ people enjoying it!
Watching videos of the pit is always so fascinating! It's great to see what each musician brings to the show.
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen
03:57 'til the end are pure gold
I love how much you're getting into the music.. you can tell somebody loves music when they totally jam out and move with the song!
4:20 - goosebumps all over my body

Mate that was some awesome drumming! Good job! This show has a great score and its great for drummers :)
This is so cool. Thanks for sharing.
thats awesome.....all the best Chris.....great, great work
Cool. I've always wondered what is going on in that little drum room. THANKS. It was very interesting.
That Made My day! You’re awesome!
Wow this is amazing 😄😄
This is awesome!
it’s so cool, if you look closely he has a few screens that show him what’s happening on stage it’s so clever
That fill at 4:31-4:33 is genius. Is that scored that way or is it just something you found really works. It sounds awesome.

DUDE. YES.
I got shivers at 0:36!
OMG I WAS AT THIS PERFORMANCE AND I WISHED I COULD HAVE RECORDED IT BUT OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH
How do you know which performance it was?
@@MissGarland1986 It is in the video title 3-7-15
@@RafaelOliveira-go1iw As far as I know, the date wasn't actually in the title of the video when I commented on this. Must have recently been added.
iAmLouise ahh okay! Haha
Drums are the best part of this song
Wooooow!

I'm so fucking clumsy I can't imagine holding one stick in the same hand I am muting with.

Nailed it.
I don't see a music book. How long did it take you to have the show memorized?
Its to his left where the light is
That triangle sounds really fat! I love it! What triangle are you using?
Nice drumstick spin 2:03
How can I double like this please?
Which tour was this?
how to you get into playing for shows in the pit for example I want to play the piano for shows and is it a good wage
Following this comment in case someone gives an answer
Same here

A lot of the time the pianist is also the conductor
Electric guitar? Pretty cool
@3:21 what sample or sound FX did you trigger?
A big Gong sound:).
+Chris Jago nice, cuz I couldn't seem to pick it up in the video =∆
where can i get the score for this?
Kieran Boreland Drums you can't. The originals for these things aren't public. My percussion teacher played in this and he said the scores aren't public
check r/MusicalTheatreScores, I got the national tour charts from there
Who is playing glinda?
Sounds like Carrie St Louis to me. I believe the two tour Glindas at this time were Carrie and Chandra
