Ben van Dijk - basstrombone "Devil's Waltz by Steven Verhelst"

I had fun making this recording of Steven Verhelst's duo "Devil's Waltz" for 2 bass trombones. With a cheap microphone, GarageBand, iMovie and some homework this is the result. Far from perfect but what the heck here it is! I hope you will enjoy it!
Thanks to Steven for another wonderful contribution to the bass trombone repertoire and thanks to Martin Schippers and Tomer Maschkovsky for asking Steven to write this crazy piece!
Thanks to the Theins for providing this wonderful bass trombone and that beautiful new red Polo.

Believe it or not, I prefer this "low fidelity" home production over the high quality pro recording of Martin and Tomer. No other bass trombonist has such a great warm tone, sounding so relaxed and easy going even in the most difficult parts. It's not only the german-style Thein trombone that certainly has it's part in getting this sound, it's mostly Ben himself. Buying this really beautyiful trombone does not make you automatically sound like Ben. Some years ago, I tried his trombone model myself. For me as amateur it was much too heavy and very hard to play. Not blaming the trombone but the player. I'm glad I already found my light-weight Lätzsch Cieslik before, much lighter in weight and much easier to play for me - but going into the same direction sound wise.

This is the kind of sound that my section and I dream of one day achieving. I have shown this video to them and we agree that Ben van Dijk has a magnificent sound. Know that we were all inspired by it ^.^

Wow Ben!!!! I could "feel" what you where playing, thusly you have successfully added another dimension to the art of Bass Trombonist.

I was listening to this while studying, but after the first time listening to it, I was hooked and now I'm on my 4th loop. Great job!

Your tone on every note below middle F is to die for. I will be coming back to this video many times for low range tonal concept
