I can do this on the piano Technically he’s breathing/getting air into his lungs, he’s just doing it at the same time as playing which is really hard. The technique is called circular breathing.
I'm guessing he uses stored air in his mouth to play during the moments he inhales with his nose. Your explanation is so curt it kind of adds confusion for someone like me who doesn't have any musical experience.
I’m not that good with picking up minute changes in rhythm like that so can someone explain how the tempo was changing? It seemed to my untrained ears that he stayed relatively the same
I play trumpet, and I struggle just to hit that note. This man held it for over a minute, and then goes right into a super high note after. Pure talent. He is the Chester Bennington of trumpet.
It is just a high E in the staff, which most beginners can hit after a year and some the first time they pick up the horn. How long have you played for?
Although the previous commenter was a bit rude, he's right, an E in the staff is a beginner level note, and within a year is a reasonable time to have a solid one (the octave above that is a different story, but that's about high school level). Are you making sure that your embouchure isn't spreading wider when you try to play higher? That was my issue back when I started that prevented me from reaching higher notes.
@@OneEyedGatekeeper I like that a lot because it’s sort of the opposite of ‘box breathing’ lol instead of taking in air using slow, routine bursts you are constantly cycling air
You guys have it all wrong. It's not circular breathing, it's the extra oxygen tank he's hiding behind his large sunglasses. But seriously, that's impressive.
Are you kidding? this guy IS the oxygen tank. You can almost see the O2 symbol on his face when he inflates. You could walk by him and literally pick it up.
I play trumpet and I always told myself "Circular Breathing isn't possible anyway on trumpet, you have to use so much air" so I wasn't upset I couldn't do it. Of course I never tried to practise it. So.... I think I might have been wrong....
one of the hardest things about circular breathing is trying to conceal the transitions between filling your cheeks to using the air in your cheeks to then lastly switching back to your normal air stream. So for him to be able to actually apply circular breathing and have notes not sound so weird when he changes is impressive

Gotta make those face gains!

to anyone who doesn't know how circular breathing works: step 1 - breathe normally step 2 - build up air in mouth (puff up cheeks) step 3 (hard part) - push that built up air out of your mouth while breathing in through your nose) step 4 - repeat
Circular breathing can be done for an.hour or more. No problem. If done right can be done for hours. Only problem is if one likes to play something that takes more air then can be handled circular breathing. At one point one could hyperventilate. Aboriginals play that breathing technique with the yedaki since 40000 years. Yes 40000.

The hardest part is that in step 3 you have to get out the air using your cheeks muscles, as opposed to your diaphragm. It gets even harder when you think that the sound coming out must be consistent.
As a trumpet player I can say that this technique is easy when you do it on its own, but to use it constantly for such a long period of time really does hurt your cheeks. Plus the fact that messing up is really easy. For anyone confused, he used the process of “circular breathing” which in basically you exhale, but without using your throat muscles. In trumpet playing we use out lips to control the pitch, but of course we blow out the air using our throat muscles to get the force/power (and not strain our face as puffing out our cheeks like that is not good) But clearly breathing in and out at the same time doesn’t work, so what he’s doing is instead of blowing out using his throat, he collects air within his mouth, and by puffing his cheeks he can bring them inwards to create pressure within the mouth, compressing the air, this will effectively give the same force as if using your throat muscles. While doing this, his throat muscles aren’t used, and so the airway is open to bring more air in through to the lungs, in other words, breathe in through his nose. So when he runs out of air in his mouth, he can easily refill it and repeat for as long as needed. But this does strain your cheeks very much and requires technique.
They were not on point. I noticed them going off quite a bit along with the trumpet player. The interesting thing about not having perfect rhythm is one can never tell when anyone is off rhythm so long as they are not worse at it.

Oh dude. Trombone Shorty is a legend. He came to our town's jazz festival a few times around 10 years ago, I met him when I was 9 I think so it had to have been 2012. Can't remember what song it was he was performing but in the middle of it he held a note for what seemed like forever, probably at least a minute. We were definitely all in awe. My mom thought it was all in his lungs and tried to use that as an example of the things I can do if I never pick up smoking.
As a trumpet player, even if it isn’t ALL in the lungs, lungs still play a vital part, and smoking would still be detrimental to your abilities. Also even if you don’t play, smoking is still horrible for you, so like… stop it ok lol?
I saw him live twice between 2012 and 2014. Once in a small music hall and he held a note for what felt like 10 minutes. Halfway through people started losing their shit and getting hyped and he walked around the seats just ripping. A fantastic performer, a better musician, and a great dude.
I went to a band summer camp a few weeks ago, and apparently one of the instructors knew Trombone Shorty, which I thought was really cool, but I never thought he’d be on my recommendations with no prior videos even close to this. TH-cam algorithm is stalking me
The giant trill begins at about 19 seconds in and the release of the phrase is at about 1:53. That means this man played a trill and an extra bar and a half for 94 seconds straight, all at a dynamic close to forte or fortissimo, then jumps up to triple forte, which I unfortunately can't remember the actual word for but its probably fortississimo or smth weird. Circular breathing, ladies and gentleman.
He's mic'd and you can tell he drops his dynamic down, probably call that a mf in my book, especially from brass, still impressive tech if not very musical. And thank god someone gave a time stamp to skip, just too bad I missed it, 1.5 minutes of my life I could have dedicated to the tornado siren test next Tuesday for the same musical ingenuity.
Pretty sure this channel makes the sheet music transcription and adds stuff like "inflate with shoulders" for comedy. Same with the "desperate screaming" at the end.
You've got it backwards. This channel finds cool musical talent, and transcribes what that music would look like on paper. Think of it like finding a movie and writing subtitles for it; they aren't writing the script, they're documenting what is already there
Ok. Imma be honest. This is impressive as all hell. But musically, this doesn't do anything for me 😅 after a while, I'm just like, okay cool, you can do circular breathing, can we get back to jamming now please?
As a trumpet player for 3 years. This is a lot harder then you think, and what’s worse with this is after your done. Your lips would be hurting really bad.
trumpet player here, that is a master of cyclic breathing. cyclic/circular breathing is really hard to do and maintain intonation. takes years of practice to get right and many more to master to this level. well done sir, well done
When I first saw this video my first thought was "Impressive, but who would want to play the same notes over and over for almost two minutes for a single song?" Also "Who's the demon who wrote this lmao."
@@scottwilkins Wow. I'd never heard of him. I had to read about him on Wikipedia. I do remember the theme song "Dragnet" from the TV show so maybe I've heard his orchestra.
I just imagine all the poor souls who dropped acid for this event and were just utterly losing their minds as they try to decipher what the hell is happening 😂 He raised his hands at the end like he was going to receive applause, too! LOL
He hasn‘t really hold his breath, he breathed but played at the same time, this technik is called circular breathing. But it‘s still really impressive because this technik isn‘t verry easy to lern.
Ugh god shorty is too good 😫. Got to see him nola and it made the trip (it was already great cus we saw rebirth too). He has a style where right when a song comes on you know its him. He did a circular breathing solo longer than this at austin limits i think
@@amiapsychopat At this volume no, when you lack air you can't produce loud sounds, but playing for 1,5 minute is probably possible if you train your breathing (as a trumpeter you should).
Sometimes he fills up regularly. At other times you can see he needs to take 3 in a row to fill up after completely emptying. Standard practice for a didgeridoo player in order to maintain oxygen levels as his playing doesn't use much air
At 0:22 your commentary and sincere desire to possibly help someone mental enough to try this, makes me laugh so heartily. I appreciate your lovely inserts so much
This is the musical performance equivalent of: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”
No,he breathes with his nose while contracting his cheeks to pressure the air out and then blows normally and refill his cheeks with air and pressure it etc to not interrupt the song to breathe,it is called circular breathing and is hella hard to master
This was pretty impressive. I used to play trumpet and I've been told how it's done: first you start normally, then when you need to take breath you fill your mouth full with air, then you inhale via your nose while pushing that air reserve out with your tongue and when that air reserve Is used you switch to normal. You could see this in action when you look at those muscular cheeks. They are puffing when he fills his mouth with air.
Very impressive! It's really hard to circular breath at all, let alone for that long AND also focusing on keeping tempo with valve presses. Definitely shows the skill this guy has.
I saw Trombone Shorty live at the Rochester International Jazz Fest a couple times, always an incredible show. One time he held a single note for what felt like 3 minutes. My memory is definitely exaggerating it but it still was incredible. Also, one time for an encore every member of the band swapped instruments- i think Shorty went to the guitar and the drummer picked up trombone or something- and played the same song they had ended on, while sounding exactly as good. Unreal talent.
Really epic demonstration of circular breathing, it must be so FREAKING hard on something like a trumpet. This is how digeridoo players make the sustained drone as well!

The giant trill begins at about 19 seconds in and the release of the phrase is at about 1:53. That means this man played a trill and an extra bar and a half for 94 seconds straight, all at a dynamic close to forte or fortissimo, then jumps up to triple forte, which I unfortunately can't remember the actual word for but its probably fortississimo or smth weird. Circular breathing, ladies and gentleman.
Forte-fortissimo
Many ways you can say fff. Fortississimo, molto fortissimo, forte-fortissimo etc.
He's mic'd and you can tell he drops his dynamic down, probably call that a mf in my book, especially from brass, still impressive tech if not very musical. And thank god someone gave a time stamp to skip, just too bad I missed it, 1.5 minutes of my life I could have dedicated to the tornado siren test next Tuesday for the same musical ingenuity.
I think it is like fortizesmo or sum
so...he's ballin
Bro just wanted to show off that he could trill for 47 measures 😂😂😂
the sheet music says "inflate lungs with shoulders" and this dude just went ahead and f-ing did it, what a champ. absolutely unbelievalby amazing.
Mmh… Subtle
Pretty sure this channel makes the sheet music transcription and adds stuff like "inflate with shoulders" for comedy. Same with the "desperate screaming" at the end.
@@elijahgeorge9235 fair enough
You've got it backwards. This channel finds cool musical talent, and transcribes what that music would look like on paper. Think of it like finding a movie and writing subtitles for it; they aren't writing the script, they're documenting what is already there
@@elijahgeorge9235 *T H A T ' S T H E J O K E*
Ok. Imma be honest. This is impressive as all hell. But musically, this doesn't do anything for me 😅 after a while, I'm just like, okay cool, you can do circular breathing, can we get back to jamming now please?
I was going to say the same thing. I applaud the technique and skill but it's not musical.
Yeah I was liking the beginning a lot more lol, it was impressive at first, but then I was like: “A whole another line of this?” lol
Agree but you probably had to be there for it to not to pall after the first 12 bars
Yeah, even something as awesome as this can become tedious. There are surely better demonstrations of this talent out there.
It's just more than a minute of pure flexing, disregarding the music completely
Glad to see David Goggins on the trumpet, he really shreds!
whos gonna carry the beats
@Figmententitywho’s gonna kill our eardrums
Good, now gimme 50 pssy!
Glad somebody else thought of this, too.
Play hard!
Swear I've seen reptiles puffing up like that before
The mosquito in my room at 1 am:
ROFL... I think that's the best comment here!
lol
Are we not gonna talk about the first 19 seconds of soloing ? That was sick
I agree
One of the nastiest solo intro ive ever heard
It goes so hard
0:52 that one mosquito near my ear inside the blanket
As a trumpet player for 3 years. This is a lot harder then you think, and what’s worse with this is after your done. Your lips would be hurting really bad.
As a trumpet player, this guys awesome. I can barely hold 4 measures (depending on time signature)
@@soakedcookies yes
Trumpet > Bidet
*Enjoy the rhythm. Circular breathing in high level!*
trumpet player here, that is a master of cyclic breathing. cyclic/circular breathing is really hard to do and maintain intonation. takes years of practice to get right and many more to master to this level. well done sir, well done
When I first saw this video my first thought was "Impressive, but who would want to play the same notes over and over for almost two minutes for a single song?"
Also "Who's the demon who wrote this lmao."
bro has hamon
Dude's cheeks have better muscle definition than my local gym.
Would be nice if he played something interesting to listen to though
Got to watch him do this live in NH this summer! Love you Shorty❤️❤️
Being able to circular breathe this long is still pretty damn impressive
1:11 The mosquito in my ear at 2 AM
FR
That is the first time I've ever seen a musician use circular breathing and I'm 69 years old. That was amazing.
nice
Really? Stan Kenton's orchestra did it in the 60's.
@@scottwilkins Wow. I'd never heard of him. I had to read about him on Wikipedia. I do remember the theme song "Dragnet" from the TV show so maybe I've heard his orchestra.
The flute dude Pedro Eustache does it frequently. Look him up.
Nice
someone get this man an award
Beginning = "Oh This Is Not So Bad"
End = "What Did I Just Witness..."
I just imagine all the poor souls who dropped acid for this event and were just utterly losing their minds as they try to decipher what the hell is happening 😂 He raised his hands at the end like he was going to receive applause, too! LOL
Literally just said “ what did I witness “
i will never get over how funny musical annotations are and “DESPERATE SCREAMING” is a great one lmao
For real like I laughed when I saw it.
I’ve admired this clip for some time, what talent. It does trigger like a fight or flight response for me for unknown reasons.
David Goggins is awesones, I didn't know he played trumpet so well! This man can do anything!
Legend has it, he's still holding the same note to this day...
He hasn‘t really hold his breath, he breathed but played at the same time, this technik is called circular breathing. But it‘s still really impressive because this technik isn‘t verry easy to lern.
@@til-d2966 its a joke bro
@@til-d2966 “technik”
He’s absolutely insane and it’s really cool how he can circular breathe
As a trumpet player, I can say that this is a very hard technique to learn, props to Shorty!
That's Trombone Shorty. Trumpet isn't even his primary instrument....
I dont think anyone in there appreciated what they just experienced
Okay but the drummer is the hidden gem here, he WENT FOR IT
Ugh god shorty is too good 😫. Got to see him nola and it made the trip (it was already great cus we saw rebirth too). He has a style where right when a song comes on you know its him. He did a circular breathing solo longer than this at austin limits i think
that guy is definitely circular breathing... which is even more impressive than doing it all in one breath at the volume he's playing at
would it even be possible to play this in one breath?
@@amiapsychopatI doubt it
@@amiapsychopat At this volume no, when you lack air you can't produce loud sounds, but playing for 1,5 minute is probably possible if you train your breathing (as a trumpeter you should).
@@yvan164 it is possible to breathe out for 1,5 minutes??? that sounds so insane
@@amiapsychopat yeah if you release air little by little you should be fine :)
Bro was inhaling and exhaling at the same time
0:40 this is called a " permanent breathe"
Dude, that’s insane when you can see whenever he takes a breath, and it’s only every few seconds.
Sometimes he fills up regularly. At other times you can see he needs to take 3 in a row to fill up after completely emptying. Standard practice for a didgeridoo player in order to maintain oxygen levels as his playing doesn't use much air
so he breath at the same time? 💀💀💀💀💀💀
@@白キロ You can breath in and out while holding water or air in your mouth. Circular breathing means you can breath in while emptying your mouth of air
I'd hate to be the cop to give him a breathalyzer
At 0:22 your commentary and sincere desire to possibly help someone mental enough to try this, makes me laugh so heartily. I appreciate your lovely inserts so much
I never thought it was possible to breathe mid playing but now that I've seen him do it I've gotta try it
This is the musical performance equivalent of: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”
😆😆😆😆😆
My grandma can do this too! She's been doing it for 9 minutes straight while on the floor. Amazing,,
(silent i)> em.....
what
Who is gonna tell him?
@@mrguy-qs2mk tell me what?
So… hows your granny now
Not only is that an impressive example of circular breathing, but he has such an immaculate tone and articulation. What a beast!!❤
Human ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. People will always figure out a way to do the impossible.
Deadass thought it was never going to end, impressive though
Almost 1:30 of circulating breathing just to end with "DESPERATE SCREAMING"🤣
circular breathing is so unreal. this man deserves awards
Literally watching him take breaths...
I remember my band teacher showing us this in high school, amazing stuff
It's amazing how he breathes through his nose and lets it out through his mouth at the same time.
He definitely must be the Big Band.
No,he breathes with his nose while contracting his cheeks to pressure the air out and then blows normally and refill his cheeks with air and pressure it etc to not interrupt the song to breathe,it is called circular breathing and is hella hard to master
This was pretty impressive. I used to play trumpet and I've been told how it's done: first you start normally, then when you need to take breath you fill your mouth full with air, then you inhale via your nose while pushing that air reserve out with your tongue and when that air reserve Is used you switch to normal. You could see this in action when you look at those muscular cheeks. They are puffing when he fills his mouth with air.
Me, a violin player:
*Is it possible to learn this power?*
One of the greatest oboe solos I've ever heard.
I just graduated with my PhD in music...I'm excited to start working at Starbucks next week 🤙
THIS IS INSANE. Hats off to this young man!!! that was freaking EPIC
Very impressive! It's really hard to circular breath at all, let alone for that long AND also focusing on keeping tempo with valve presses. Definitely shows the skill this guy has.
WOW. WOW. WOW. Just imagine the capacity of Lungs this guys has??? This is insane!
I saw Trombone Shorty live at the Rochester International Jazz Fest a couple times, always an incredible show. One time he held a single note for what felt like 3 minutes. My memory is definitely exaggerating it but it still was incredible. Also, one time for an encore every member of the band swapped instruments- i think Shorty went to the guitar and the drummer picked up trombone or something- and played the same song they had ended on, while sounding exactly as good. Unreal talent.

Ok as a trumpet player myself, this is the coolest, and most horrifying thing I've ever seen lol. This man has amazing talent.
00:50 the moscito who does not want me to get some sleep
I like how it’s necessary to inflate your lungs with your shoulders to do this😂
I like, how he show's his fellas in music, when he is ending his solo. :D
That last part takes a significant amount more than the rest
I feel like I'm out of breath watching this. This man's a legend
I can swear to the gods that mosquitoes in my house sound exactly the same
😂
Really epic demonstration of circular breathing, it must be so FREAKING hard on something like a trumpet. This is how digeridoo players make the sustained drone as well!
