TheJamesinator102 - in my opinion, as a tuba player as well, the bass line and percussion have to work together to hold the band together. If they give two different tempos, everyone will be confused. I just match to the percussion tempo because they don't listen to me and I feel like I need more respect from them because I respect their tempos. But enough about that, the tubas and percussion need to work together to keep the band stable.
"Contrary to your music director's opinion, this part is never loud enough." Funny story, in HS marching band my friend had a chime part that our director thought was always too quiet, so during a rehearsal he told him to play as loud as he could as if he were trying to break the chimes. It only took him a few minutes to break the metal wire that was holding them in place. When he told the director, his response was "good job." At least we finally got new chimes :)
I'm a percussion player since 4th grade. I'm 41, most people think of drums, sticks, bang, bang. We're the tempo, bass, and timed accents, heart and soul with the brass section. The instrument list is extensive. These keyboard instruments are hardest.
Awesome! My Mama taught the children Orff instruments during her time as music teacher at Sally Meadows Elementary School in Vidalia, Georgia. She also taught the children at Church and children's Baptist Music camps. I am so blessed to have been raised up in Church and with music and intelligent and loving and talented parents. Very talented! I used music in my lessons in my time as Kindergarten teacher at Garden City Elementary School! It was a blessed experience and a dream come true. Thank you for your services and for sharing your gifts and talents and knowledge of your craft! Awesome!!!
Highlight of this fine video was the extensive and detailed snare study. That lad had some chops! And that compliment is coming from a former Marine. Well done Army.
Those are cable snares, designed to provide a dryer sound as opposed to traditional wire snares. You will notice this is a combination set, which gives the best of both worlds, wires and cables.
Dan, thanks for your question. I'm not sure if the setup has a specific name, but the timpani, bass drum, and what look like bongo drums and maybe a snare or tom-toms (hard to see them) are being used, as well as a small cymbal.
I am a trombonist however very intrestsed in playing many instruments. I already know the notes of mallet instruments but that was all I really knew going into this but I found it very helpful.
How wonderful! Thank you very much for sharing this! My Drummer friends, you all should realize that it has always been a Drummer that has led our Army into battle. War has become far too ugly without our Drummers sticking up for us.... Remember your Oath.
Thanks Staff Sargant Steve Owens!!! The Accent section helped a lot. I Finished Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone, and just now started Accents and Rebounds by George Lawrence Stone. Thank you for giving me a head start on the book!!!
In many cases when other instrumentalist try Percussion and see how much we have to be well rounded, a lot of them realize it’s not for them🤷🏾♂️ It’s because Percussion covers Rhythm, Harmony, and Melody at an equal level. That’s typically why a lot of Percussionist can learn other instruments quicker👍🏾

43:14 to 43:28 is me in essence. 45:01 Him: "if you don't have perfect pitch, you can obtain many intervals with the simple recall of a few popular tunes and melodies..." Me: *can never sing in key for the life of me* "Oh, well, it sounds good enough..."
Es el mejor, completo y preciso material creo que para percusionistas como para compositores.... Saludos desde Colombia! P.D. Hay posiblidad de que suba la correcta notación de todos los efectos que se explicaron? Gracias!!!
Great video! What's the name of the piece at approx. 1 hour and 34 minutes? It sounds quite similar to the percussion trio in Miki's 'Marimba Spiritual.' Thanks!
Everything is really good, but the crash cymbals is a quite different, it doesn’t seem as effective but I’m more well rounded with marching grip rather than concert so maybe that’s it
That’s cool and all but what if your band doesn’t have chimes, marimba, vibraphone, only has three timpani, doesn’t have a timpani stool, only has plastic tambourines, doesn’t have a triangle clip, and doesn’t have proper triangle beaters?
As for the timpani tunings, my music instructor like us to tune with ear and I have doubts about myself tuning with ear, and I have no much experience with timpani itself. Do you have any tips?
Using the ears definitely takes skill as you have to build that ability. Perhaps using combination of ears and outside source (tuner) would be helpful? That way you can check yourself. Good luck!
By all means, develop your ear training, but a tuning fork is not a bad option if you still don't want to do it alone. the fork can always help you with relative pitches!
I'm a student at a middle school, and this is my first time attending percussion classes. Is there any tips for me? (I'm mostly afraid of not keeping up, or messing up.)
My Master Playlist Practice, practice, practice! I know that sounds cliché, but it's true. Ask anyone you know who has mastered their instrument how much time they spend working on it. They will tell you.
Unless you are in percussion only band, percussion can get boring. Only because the instructor rarely needs to tune or adjust the percussion section, but all the other ones. Have fun!
No, don't play on the edge of the bar UNLESS 4mallet voicing absolutely requires it. That janky little run he did you can literally see him hitting directly over the rope and his tone suffered greatly for it. Just be careful of your T positions and play in the middle of the bar.
Really great, I only watched the snare part because I don't play orchestral stuff anymore. Can anyone tell me why his pinkie strays out a little bit at slower tempos, is it because he's using finger at a higher tempo? Is leaving his pinkie out intentional? I feel like he'd have that gone by know if its unintentional. I hate to be a picky bastard about this stuff but I really would like to know because this guy outplays me by a mile.
@@recruitymcfruity5232 ...what? Everything you said was just wrong. First...you got to be louder in a Marching Band, not concert band, cause you are outside, and need to fill a lot more space. Second...one grip doesn't provide a louder sound over the other, lol. It's just a different style of grip. How loud you play depends on how hard you hit the drum, not what grip you use, lol.
i think that its 2 timpini a bass drum and a high or mid tom with a snare. Also i think there all using china symbals (or maybe splash) hope this helped.
I'm a tuba player and I gotta say, percussionists don't get enough respect. They're vitally important to any large ensemble.
bro, thxs for the compliment
This is true

Matthew Thresher - I used to play percussion. I was very good and I knew my place as a percussionist.

+adamjack7891 Wow! That's quite a dynamic!
+adamjack7891 haha thats great.
The same thing happened with my band director and the timpani
Best feeling as a percussionist: when you're told to play louder.
He was probably playing fffffffffffff

Literally the most helpful video I have ever watched

"I strongly recommend playing with yarn or rubber mallets to prevent permanent hearing damage."
Is that bad

An excellent presentation that every percussionist should watch. Well done.
The tambourine demo wows me every time
It's very good to see where the percusion instruments we are using

went from drum corp videos to this, such a change in technique
You are apparently correct. Our percussionists say it is Marimba Spiritual.
The intro to the glockenspiel was legendary!
Awesome videos!! Thank you so much! My students are learning so much from you all!!!
Thanks for the lesson :) The suspended bass drum has an awesome sound
Hi
Excellent job.... Thank U for posting... God Bless America................
Fine work... Clearly Expressed, Educational, Exquisite Instruments, Inspiring!
Pythagoras is Pleased.
Truly amazing
when you can't find the bell that is still ringing
Amazing material for any music student! Thank you so much!
fantastic video This has helped me so much as an orchestrator
Go to our website ArmyFieldBand . com and click on Education->Educational Resources->Instructional Video Series->The Complete Percussionist. You will find the exercises in pdf format.
Great Percussionists, but apparently not very good video editors, seeing as the the end is in the middle and the beginning is at the end.
This is a pretty cool lesson!
I’m in percussion and I absolutely love it
oh my god, he played the cue from Hook on the bells. frickin awesome
43:14 to 43:28 is me in essence.
45:01
Him: "if you don't have perfect pitch, you can obtain many intervals with the simple recall of a few popular tunes and melodies..."
Me: *can never sing in key for the life of me* "Oh, well, it sounds good enough..."
At 1:20:23 it's like he is playing the drum part to "Blue Rondo A La Turk" but with rolls.
What a useful and kind video!!Thank u!!
すごい親切な動画。パーカッショニストじゃないけど勉強になる！ありがとう！
That timpanist is very well spoken!!
ohmigod! i totally want to learn percussion now!
Cheers for the reply - fascinated by the seemingly infinite number of ways to play percussion, so thanks for the awesome vid!
That Mallet single stroke toll exercise is the same that's on the Hands for a Lifetime. Drum corps?
THE BEST VIDEO BETTER THAN PEWDIEPIE. 10\10
had to say that
People say percussion is easy. Which it is if your only wanted to play normally. But if you want to master it it’s so hard
It would be really great if the snare drum exercises that scroll across the screen were available somewhere for downloard. Are they?
I play tuba and drummers don't get enough respect but my schools percussion section is trash
Did you just copy the text for likes... That's sad.. because I actually play drums......I'm angry, now I go beat drum
Michael Persico not true I love playing in band
The US Army has some fine Musicians , such Technical Pro's and so disciplined.

. Bravo! I love this video. Thank you
Jesus, that snare players triple strokes were nutty
Great video! What's the name of the piece at approx. 1 hour and 34 minutes? It sounds quite similar to the percussion trio in Miki's 'Marimba Spiritual.' Thanks!
Kinda glad I got recommended this
Anyone know which piece is played on the chimes at 15:59?
+Chloe Wiseman Chimes of Liberty
What is the 3-person set up called at 1:34:20? Really cool set up - what instruments are being used?
Excellent video...excellent playing by all...thanks!
1:36:30. Who else was expecting a deep voice. 👮. 💂from this gentleman.
Bro why do i discover this videos now i just watched the saxophone one and i really recomend it if you play the instrument.
Thank you for this content, it is very interesting.
its good I have to know this for music in my school
Whoo! That was thorough as heck!
I loved the chime part. *playing instrument* "OH, I DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE"
Hi
i have a question are there any more rudiments i can learn for the snare drum?
Much of the percussion instruments from the background should have also been included.
I NEED THEM TO PLAY THE TABLAS
Everything is really good, but the crash cymbals is a quite different, it doesn’t seem as effective but I’m more well rounded with marching grip rather than concert so maybe that’s it
Nice Symphonic Metamorphosis @ 24:30
this is helpful thank you.
1:10:08 FUNKADELLIC!
It would be helpful if the video was broken up into smaller units.
That’s cool and all but what if your band doesn’t have chimes, marimba, vibraphone, only has three timpani, doesn’t have a timpani stool, only has plastic tambourines, doesn’t have a triangle clip, and doesn’t have proper triangle beaters?

By all means, develop your ear training, but a tuning fork is not a bad option if you still don't want to do it alone. the fork can always help you with relative pitches!
U can use mallet instrumen to tune
Which brand of timpani are used?
How come staff Sargent Owen only taught about match grip?
it's a video for beginning percussionists traditional grip is kinda a niche thing really only being used for marching and some drumset stuff
I was also curious why they only taught Stephen's grip on marimba
Traditional grip has very little practical application. Matched is the only practical option in this context.
@@elliotc5040 Stevens is the primary grip in the US. It's frustrating, but there's only so much time you can put into a video.
im 19 and I dont now if its to late to learn percussion... what do you think? Ive been playing drums since 13.
Could someone tell me what etude the snare player is performing from 1:33:20 to 1:34:18? Cannot seem to find it on the googles :(
InYYZ Staff Sergeant Owen wrote this etude himself to demonstrate the variety of ornamentation for snare drum.
At 1:00:00 who else though of whiplash
Me
FANtastic!!! 🙏
Find a private teacher and see what you can do. It's never too late.
Very, very interesting..
thanks so much
Very thorough
Thanks for posting.

Nilo Parra Nah, I'm mixed in with beginning brass players. It's awesome playing with these guys :D
i am primary 6,but i love percussion
I’ve ALWAYS been taught to use a back fulcrum on mallets, and never the front?
That is correct. Although, I don't know if the china's are part of miki's original composition.
can someone tell me the name of the piece they played at 1:34:24 ?
I believe it's the drum parts from the opening section of Marimba Spiritual by Minoru Miki. Or at least very similar.
1:34:22, what is the name of this etude?
what are the names of the 2 vibraphone exerpts that were played?
thank you
snare drummer Steve Owen sounds a lot like the driver from stuntman on ps2
Alguém aqui conhece livros sobre técnicas dessas percussões e pode indicar pra mim estudar? desde já muito obrigado.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!FOR THIS
No, don't play on the edge of the bar UNLESS 4mallet voicing absolutely requires it. That janky little run he did you can literally see him hitting directly over the rope and his tone suffered greatly for it. Just be careful of your T positions and play in the middle of the bar.
Poor execution doesnt mean the approach is wrong. This is an area with a wide array of valid approaches.

What can I do if I rarely have access to timpani, keyboard instruments, or other instruments to practice with?
Maybe one of the glock, snare, and practice pad kits?
EAS Cubing That doesn’t really help with the larger instruments like vibes, marimba, and timpani.
@@Jhincks Probably used ones dependent on if you live in a larger city or a heavily musical populated area.
What piece is played in the first 22 seconds or so?
I believe it's "Slipped Disc" by Benny Goodman and arranged by Loran McClung.
@@ArmyFieldBand Thank you!
Why did he not use traditional grip?
TK ALL DAY If you're taking about the snare, he's not marching snare that's a concert snare.
Because in concert and you got to be louder and not traditional makes you super loud wow
Cause that's for Marching Snares, not concert snares. Different instruments.
@@recruitymcfruity5232 ...what? Everything you said was just wrong. First...you got to be louder in a Marching Band, not concert band, cause you are outside, and need to fill a lot more space.
