@@templarexemplar35 You have a good point there. In marching band, oe outside in general, flutes and piccolos are weak as shit. In concert band, or inside, it's not very weak. BUT with the trumpet, it sounds very cool and powerful, but very strained. It's still cool and I like it :) (I sound a little salty in a weird way)
For those who haven't played trumpet (or a brass instrument), this is harder than it looks. Not only technique wise, but it's physically demanding as well.

You can actually play a third or so lower than the normal lowest note without extensions by playing resultant notes (I think it’s called) which basically is playing a specific multi phonic so perfectly that you end up getting a low note. This is very hard to do with good sound (but very possible) aNd has little practical use. But still, it’s possible.
@@georgesracingcar7701 many many years, I play since 6 years and i can't get even close to this notes, it will take 20 years or so, but probably for ever, so high is insane
I knew someone in my school band who could play these kind of notes, but he ended up with a major lip muscle rupture that made him lose the ability to play the trumpet. During the pandemic, he decided to pick up a brass instrument again to see if he can play anything. After a few months, he decided that his now-healed muscles are no longer in the same condition to play with a good sound on trumpet. He switched to tuba since it requires less muscle strain and he is doing really well with it. 1st chair tuba in the top band at my school, not bad.
as a flute player who had to learn a lot of the higher notes in a fairly short amount of time, seeing notes with that many ledger lines is fucking terrifying
I was blessed to have seen Maynard Ferguson play live at our high school. Our band director was a huge fan and ticket sales were at a loss, and our director fitted the difference out of his own pocket just because it was that important to him.
Bass guitar or a true bass i.e. Eb of BBb in the English Brass Band tradition? I love the English basses... the Eb can play really quite complicated passages with clean articulation in the right hands (as can BBb but often if playing a 'solo' the Eb works better) and as a percussionist, having a strong BBb bass section (well, 2) really helps some of our drums not sounds out of place and it we can get a good groove going with entire bass section in general repotoire where the basses typically just play the same part, sometimes BBb down an octave, but you can really set the foundation for the rest of the band to play off...
Man percussion is sick too, check out Norfolk State's Million Dollars Funk Squad and Jackson State's War and Thunder. Just cause you're a percussionist doesn't mean you're lower, just means you're great a different thing, which is cook
I'm a trumpet player and have been since 1953. I've never been able to hit notes like those. My best is E flat above the scale. So, I'm in awe of those who can do what these guys do.
Difference between a lot of these players and Maynard is that when they go up, their sound loses body, where Maynard's sound only get thiccer as he goes up. Makes no god damn sense.
I played trumpet but couldn’t not achieve this level of proficiency! I was 6 notes from a double high C! Which in reality is like 10 miles from the finish of a marathon! Some truly amazing musicians in these clip’s!!
I'm glad that you included some clips from the DCI in there, like Bridgemen, BD, and Bluecoats. I think some people don't realize that in-between solos they are constantly running around the field, which makes solos equally impressive if not more challenging to do. Loved the video!
Arturo Sandoval played the highest note I've ever heard when he was younger, playing with Dizzy Gillespie. Sounded like an A-C above Super C (triple c). His range and tone was incredible that day
Ok guys, I’ve been seeing a lot of you telling me I missed some clips/videos, so I’m gonna make another one of these videos. If you have suggestions on what should be in the next video, please drop a link below. Also, please keep suggestions Double C and up.
wow, as a non-trumpeter i can only imagine that's difficult asf and very impressive but also it just kinda sounds like someone really obnoxiously letting the air out from a balloon
If you play long enough, it becomes easier to get higher and you just got to practice enough. I’m only on my 5th year of trumpet and can go to the starting note of most of these videos.
Many say that Ferguson is the best trumpeter for high notes, I am not impressed at all. In my opinion (and I listened to the vast majority of the world's top trumpeters) Arturo Sandoval is the best jazz trumpeter of all time.And Sergey Nakariakov is the best in classic music.
"Ever" .. tough to make that call with no theoretical upper limit ... I've heard guys goof off using helium, but that's likely not a consideration. And not everything gets recorded (I once - once - popped a double Eb ... back in a college practice room ... one person told me they "heard something" down the hallway. LOL) I suspect, though, that as much as I love Arturo's playing and his range, Jon Faddis might have given him a run for his money. And Cat Anderson likely popped off a couple good ones "back in the day".
My introduction to super high notes (pitches above and beyond a normal or average playing range) being played was as a freshman in high school. My school was small so if you were in band you were in Pep band like it or not. I liked it. My first forays into playing music other than traditional concert band material. Ther were 3 or 4 pieces other than the school song that had had the status of being tradition. Most of us looked forward to the day we would get to "rock out" playing those pieces, having heard them played for a number of years at every sporting event the school engaged in. And it was awesome to be making that music finally as opposed to listening to it. An example was the theme from the TV show Peter Gunn. It was played when the team, be it football, basketball, or any other sport, took to the field or court. So twice per night usually-- the beginning of the game and the return from halftime. I still have a warm spot for that piece. Another tune was "Get it On" by Bill Chase. I knew the song but nothing about who wrote or played it until I was now playing it in good old pep band. As a "slide pump" man the trumpets stood directly behind my seating area. We got to the end of that piece and out of nowhere I heard the most incredible sonic ad lib I had ever heard. It was our last song of the night so I was free to react by turning around and seeing a good friend receiving atta boys from the entire cadre of trumpets. I was impressed it was my friend since he was just a sophomore.I hadn't heard those notes from a trumpet ever in my life. They werent played in the few quick run thru sessions designed to get the frosh up to speed on the repertoire. I was sure it must have been another friend who was the lead and a senior. As we were putting our horns away I asked my friend about what I had just heard. "Oh you mean the screech notes? Yeah Chase, the guy that wrote it, was known for being able to hit those notes and used them in a few different tunes his band played." Hmmm Screech trumpet. Bill Chase. Now I had a need. I needed to hear this phenomenon by the man himself. Being a generation away from the internet still, and being a one horse town, I knew I would have to go to the 5 and 10 store (only music outlet in town) and order a copy. Which I did and was thoroughly impressed when I heard it from the man himself. Screech Trumpet. I'll be damned. Turns out my buddy Kevin had just developed the ability to hit that register. No other trumpet puffers could come close. In fact he got a minor finger wagging from our very strict but perfectionist band director because he had no idea it was going to happen that night. lol Sadly, Like Bill Chase, my friend's life was cut short. He was killed in a car accident only a couple weeks after he graduated from high school. I will always remember that piece (Get it On), it's composer (Bill Chase), my first exposure to rare extended rangeplaying (screech trumpet), and my friend Kevin who introduced it to me the first time I ever played fun music rather than classical. RIP and rock on BC and KM. It's time to head into my lair now ---- my home studio. It's time to grab my guitar and..... GET IT ON!!!
04:07 - I was there that night when Arturo played with The United Nations Orchestra. It was truly unbelievable and he did this at the end of the nights playing! PS I’ve also played with Louis Dowdeswell and have to say he’s got the best high register sound I’ve ever heard!
Erik Veldkamp, u sir are a king of kings in my book. The very fact that you have transcribed some of the most iconic players to ever touch the horn, then "took it up an octave" when u transcribed Fats, my all time favorite trumpeter, then ur latest of his disciple Brownie, to me, u've transcended everyone else on the scene. Please keep doing what you do because it is essential!!!
For people who have no idea, the notes shown on screen are written pitches. The sounding ones are a whole tone below. But I am not taking any credit away. No matter what, those are really high notes for the trumpet.
I spoke to a guy once who said he was an ex-high note specialist and when I queried why he no longer played he said the veins in his neck just popped one day and I almost fainted on him.
Lots of great trumpet players. But man there is such a difference in talent between the dci guys and people like Louis, James Morrison, Arturo and Wayne . But Scott dean is pretty good I have to say
Well yeah because dci guys are way younger. Doesn't mean they're bad, but it shows when compared someone with 20 more years of playing(especially that SCV guy's double E being so shaky).
Jacob Ratledge I think it’s more a matter of hitting a Double E 9 minutes into DCI marching show. Their average heart BPM rivals football players and he still hits a double E
Maynard's clip at 3:00 reminds me of one not here: a song called "Maynard Ferguson", where he does a few octave jumps to a triple C . . . then goes to the F above that. The song ends with him holding a triple D for a while.
Trumpets have an extremely large range. That being said, it's exponentially harder and harder to hit the next note up. I'm in 10th, and the highest note I've played in a song was either a high c or a high b flat I can't quite remember, and I've played plenty of a's. What I can say is it's easy to squeal the notes out, but proper hitting the notes is having volume and control, which is incredibly difficult. Plus you can basically play any note with any valve combinations
yeah thats so true my gf who plays flute is always like "your instrument is so easy the notes are way lower than mine and the parts are easier" she doesn't realise that theres like 8 notes that can be played on every valve combination, I hit my first top (or super) G (the one that is on the 4th ledger line above the stave) today and that automatically means I have the same range than any possible note on flute (they can play low b to super c) and I can play low F (F# with 3rd slider) to super G so who's laughing now. I don't get how these people play like super D's and E's, its just crazy.
Trumpet player: The trumpet is a very diverse instrument that can play a large range.

I would pay to see this, wow!
Is that not what this is?
Dunno if you're just messing around but there's a lower limit to the piccolo that pretty much can't be passed without some sort of extension

@@edred1911 what is something wrong
@@C4pt41nN3m0 im good at this game :)
bruh
Gotta give it to Louis Dowdeswell, by far the most clear, relaxed and musical high notes I've heard!
Jonathan Petersson Louis and Josh Gawel are tied in my opinion. They both do it so effortlessly
0:51 Felt so relaxed
I love how almost every other one is Joshua Gawel. Lucky Chops is always just so amazing to watch.
3:55 had the pleasure of meeting this guy at a vanguard audition and he his crazy
do you know the name of the performance that this is?
@@andrewdoyle4785 santa Clara vanguard, Babylon 2018
Oh yea, well my notes are even higher, you just can’t hear them cause they are that high
Lmao I can hit really high to the point where only dogs can hear it
This is my 10th time watching and it's still fresh
*opens a video and sees lucky chops first* I respect this a lot
@@persheki Full heart fancy
For people who have no idea, the notes shown on screen are written pitches. The sounding ones are a whole tone below. But I am not taking any credit away. No matter what, those are really high notes for the trumpet.
You obviously don’t know what you are talking about
@@Mattsharona Please don't criticize yourself too harshly.
@@Mattsharona Trumpets are in Bb bro... he's explaining how to convert to concert C
For some reason, these make me uncontrollably cry. Maybe it’s the high notes or just how beautiful they are
Lucky Chops 😍
My freshman year of highschool, we had a trumpet player named kevin, he was the king of playing a double G in every stand tune
I love how much effort is putted to bassically immitate a mosquito
Imagine what these people hit practicing...
I've never played a brass instrument, but I can still tell that this is insane
This should be called lowest notes on the piccolo
And no way in hell you could play any of these on a trumpet
As someone who owns both, some of these notes are high even for a piccolo trumpet.
at what point does it stop being musical and start being annoying
Rocco Dinino Double C I reckon
Surprisingly much lower than you think it is. My band's saxophonist starts yelling at me somewhere around a high E or F.
John S At least a trumpet can have a tunable high register
Never
All notes are musical.
I spoke to a guy once who said he was an ex-high note specialist and when I queried why he no longer played he said the veins in his neck just popped one day and I almost fainted on him.
This was GREAT . My husband played GREAT also . Brought back like a wave of good memories. ....
love the wink, #2, more non-pressure technique in that one note than my whole life, thank you. such a big note too, so much piss-weak whistling.
I'm so glad Louis and Wayne were on here.
I was not expecting lucky chops at the beginning and I’m not disappointed
Freddie Mercury be like
“HIGHER!”
You know the highest trumpet note ever played was probably some random guy in his bedroom that went “huh, cool” after he did it.
This window cleaning montage is hype
Lots of great trumpet players. But man there is such a difference in talent between the dci guys and people like Louis, James Morrison, Arturo and Wayne . But Scott dean is pretty good I have to say
Well yeah because dci guys are way younger. Doesn't mean they're bad, but it shows when compared someone with 20 more years of playing(especially that SCV guy's double E being so shaky).
Jacob Ratledge I think it’s more a matter of hitting a Double E 9 minutes into DCI marching show. Their average heart BPM rivals football players and he still hits a double E
I'm a tuba player but every single time I hear a trumpet scream I get chills
These videos inspire me to practice more and increase my range
Maynard's clip at 3:00 reminds me of one not here: a song called "Maynard Ferguson", where he does a few octave jumps to a triple C . . . then goes to the F above that. The song ends with him holding a triple D for a while.
**laughs in sax, only having to touch buttons to go high**
Joshua Gawel is the best trumpet player ever. Can't change my mind.
scott dean and javier have it for me
Thomas gansch
@@thrxwolf7039 Gansch is also pretty awesome! I love Mnozil Brass🤘
Andreas Huber I do too! As a tuba player though, my favorite member is wilfried. Glad someone else knows mnozil brass
@@thrxwolf7039 My favorite member is Leonhard. Just because of his outstanding acting😆 Like in Lonely Boy😆
3:58 the amount of control that takes is astonishing
The high (concert) C at the end was at a frequency of ~4092 Hz. If I'm correct, this is the high C at the top of the piano keyboard.
You can just tell by how some have different styles,and some go flat and a little sharp,really hard to control but fun to play
Regardless of tonal quality, that's impressive.
I’d probably die trying to do this
You wouldn’t die, but with certain tension levels, your throat would feel like it would explode
Same, my tiny clairinet lungs couldn't take it
"Wait so the range is not limited by the instrument like a string instrument?"
"Never has been"
Loving the pic of Maynard playing his superbone in a trumpet video! 😂
3:58 by far the most impressive timbre quality I've ever heard of a high note. Beats the Soprillo saxophone a little. Especially since it is staccato.
Me: scaring the kid next door
Him: 4:08😱
4:06 I thought my little shih tzu was barking downstairs
And I’m over here at my highschool thinking I’m hot crap as a freshman because I hit the high high c on the national anthem 1st try
Ayy! Haven't been around any brass for years and was still able to predict/hear the correct note in my head before playing the video! Nice
i love how well notes that high can just make chords lock in in certain contexts
My mouth does these sounds everytime I hit my toe with lego
Trumpets have an extremely large range. That being said, it's exponentially harder and harder to hit the next note up. I'm in 10th, and the highest note I've played in a song was either a high c or a high b flat I can't quite remember, and I've played plenty of a's. What I can say is it's easy to squeal the notes out, but proper hitting the notes is having volume and control, which is incredibly difficult. Plus you can basically play any note with any valve combinations
yeah thats so true my gf who plays flute is always like "your instrument is so easy the notes are way lower than mine and the parts are easier" she doesn't realise that theres like 8 notes that can be played on every valve combination, I hit my first top (or super) G (the one that is on the 4th ledger line above the stave) today and that automatically means I have the same range than any possible note on flute (they can play low b to super c) and I can play low F (F# with 3rd slider) to super G so who's laughing now. I don't get how these people play like super D's and E's, its just crazy.
One of those time when you let one go so silently that it sounds octaves higher.
Thank you, Dr. Maggio!
As a former trumpet player, I have respect for this accomplishment and for their face muscles.
Only trumpet players can understand just how difficult it is to reach those super high octave notes!!!
0:22 That cheeky wink though
On longer recordings, you'll hear the crowd cheer after he did it. It was hilarious!
That damn triple high c looks so easy and I don't know how to use my tongue right.
4:08 I think that guy was just screaming into his trumpet and hoped no one would notice.
Them trumpets went “ aaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee”
Stretching the end of a balloon while it loses air sound like:
