Lots of things going on in this video, but here's a quick list of instruments for this show! - Timpani - Glockenspiel - Vibraphone - Tambourine - Wind Chimes - Castanets - Triangle - Cabasa - Shaker - Wood Block
Hello, my name is Matti. I'm from Germany and I'm 12 years old. My dream job is to later work as a drummer, percussionist, conductor or something else in a musical. May I ask you how much does a drummer/percussionist earn in a musical? I know musicians don't like to talk about money, but it would interest me a lot.
No sweat, I have no problem talking about money. Every gig pays differently, and shows like this (professional, regional theater) pay between $50-100 (USD) a show depending on the number of shows and the theater. There are higher levels of theater that pay much more (union theaters) but openings like that are tough to land. This isn't a lot, and it's definitely not a primary source of income because you'll never be able to be playing a show every night (scheduling makes things tough). Life as a working musician isn't easy, and will almost definitely require teaching lessons to pay the bills. Keep practicing, make sure you love it, and it'll work out.
Thank you very much for your answer. I’m worried about it and I still have a lot of time to practice.I’ve bought a mini-percussion set, with congas, timbales, etc.Thank you again for your answer, it helped me a lot. Maybe there’s a different kind of payment in Germany.
Hallo Matthias, Lass dich nicht von den Antworten unterkriegen. Hier bei uns in Deutschland verdienen wir mehr beim Musical. Vg Hg Percussion-we will rock you und starlight express
Great insight into a sound recording studio setting and to be able to view up close the fantastic percussion. Some wonderful use of the various instruments you play Mike. .. the speed and the dexterity certainly requires a lot of skill. How many takes were done to create this number?
This is a live performance! The theater doesn't have a pit for the orchestra so our sound is piped from our side room you see here into the speakers in the house
No. Are you talking about the drummer or the Keyboard 1 / Conductor, because regardless of whom, I can guarantee both are wearing shirts. The rest of the orchestra is wearing summer-like civvies, given the remote location and venue location - which is in San Diego, CA.
Mike will be able to confirm, but this sounds like the audio is from an on camera microphone on a GoPro or similar. It's meant to be a percussionist POV. The properly miked and mixed audio being piped to the house speakers will sound much better.
@@DavidWood2 mind you im using accoustically correct stereo headphones that distributes the score in an orchestra arc unless theyre set to quartet mode where it will do the big band thing. I might just need to create a headphone mix font to cover drum lines.
@@Harlem55 If I'm right about the audio being recorded on an on-camera mic, all bets are off. You have percussion in the near field, other acoustic instruments in the far field with room tone in play (though this room looks and sounds like it has good acoustic treatment, as you would expect for an off-stage orchestra room) and electronic instruments might be missing completely unless they are being folded back into the room through a speaker. The audio may well be mono, so there is no phase information whatsoever. You have a performer who is moving between the instruments, so the microphone is moving. No amount of local remixing is going to sort that out. The purpose of the video is to show what performing the number is like from the percussionist's perspective. Sometimes these videos are offered with a special mix from the soundboard (either mixed live or mixed subsequently from isos) that emphasises the instrument(s) being featured, but much of the time an on-camera microphone is all you get. If you want to watch a performance, find a video with properly miked and mixed audio, not a POV.
there is something magical seeing what happens behind the scenes istg
Wow, that's an insane amount of fast-paced timpani pedaling you're doing there! I couldn't playing this part on timpani that don't have gauges!
there's a lot going on here great to listen to
Can someone show me what 45-48 look like in drum notation? I want that tattooed. On my arm. It's my favorite drum beat ever.

Oh, Danke für die weiter Antwort! Könntest du mir da vllt weiterhelfen, bezüglich Gehalt und wie man an so einen Job kommt?

Hi, I’m playing percussion for a brass band where all the kit is provided, are all the timps and everything yours or are they all provided
In this video, I borrowed the timpani from a local high school. In my more recent videos, I use my own timpani.

I don't know what the hell this is - but the result is pure garbage that can be churned out of musescore.
Wow, thanks! Always great to meet fans.
