THANK YOU. YOUR VARIOUS VIDEOS SHOW OPPORTUNITIES FOR ME TO PLAY SIMILAR INSTRUMENTS THAT I'VE HAD AT HOME FOR YEARS BUT NEVER USED. NOW I CAN DRIVE MY CATS CRAZY.

nice work Brett, a non-musician found the guira my father had brought from Venezuela, he was very curious. I showed him how to play it but he was still a bit incredulous. I think your video will give good validation, I have perused your catalog, excellent techniques.

This would be easier to parse without the background music, which obscures the sound of the crotales.

Thank you for this video. I don't know if you've heard the song "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter, it's currently the #1 song in the world on the Spotify Global charts. It's a disco, funk and synthpop song and Sabrina released the instrumental for the song so you can hear the instruments used to make the song very clearly. I noticed a "tock" sound throughout parts of the song and wanted to know what the instrument was and came across your video when I searched up "woodblock instrument".

@brettjonespercussion 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for reaching out. Yes, from what I can tell it is some sort of woodblock (either wood or composite).

@@itznoxy7193 I would use fingers for soft playing. If I need to play very delicately, I'll actually just lightly tap the bottoms of the chimes with my finger tips to get them to gently hit each other.

Today I had a really bad first time playing the chimes in band class. I didn’t know what to do, and barely had any piano experience so it was really hard! I don’t know how to read treble clef (I play the trombone so I can read bass clef) We were playing a new song for the first time, but the band was playing so fast and I was struggling a lot. And on the sheet music, it was “A” I think, but apparently I was supposed to hit B flat or D?? Something like that. Anyways my teacher then proceeded to make me play my part in front of the whole class, and as everyone stared at me as I was struggling, the teacher then stated; “See? This is why I asked you guys if you had piano experience. Maybe we lied about that.” or something along the lines of that. I told him MULTIPLE times that I USED to have piano experience and that I had more drum skills (Not that much but still more than piano). He still let me join percussion (My band teacher only lets people with piano experience join percussion). So to sum up my long rant, I was left feeling hopeless, confused, embarrassed, and lost. I think instead of just watching me struggle, he should have tried to help me figure it out! Anyway, PLEASE LEAVE ANY TIPS YOU HAVE FOR CHIMES

@brettjonespercussion 4 ай бұрын

That sounds like a hard experience. That can happen to us as percussionists because our parts are so unique and there's no hiding in a section. My advice would be to take the music and make sure you are confident with the notes and rhythms. Then get to the rehearsal room during a time when there isn't anything going on and practice your part - one measure at a time. After doing that, you should ask your band director to listen to the part and give you any advice. It's hard, but take that experience and try to grow as a musician from it with humility and hard work. Keep your chin up!

They do, but depending on the mallets, they tend not to put enough weight into the cymbal to make it respond quickly.

@@Solar.Geoengineering.Advocate Yes, those are nice. We have a set of those at my university. I know that the alloy is expensive as well as the instrument being a little more niche, so I'm sure all of that drives up the price.

I've seen so many videos about "how to play finger cymbals" and all are either like you do, OR hold them both with the bell up but at different heights (like a flam on snaredrum), and move the upper one downwards, so they also hit edge to edge. I don't have finger cymbals myself (yet) so i guess that it has to do with what finger cymbals you have, which method you use that sounds best??

@brettjonespercussion 5 ай бұрын

Yes, that works as well. Either of those approaches can get a good sound, so whichever way you can be most consistent in your playing would be the way to go.

I am playing a piece and in two beats have to go from p to f on the rachet. Suggestions please. Conductor asked me to mute it a bit on beat one. How do you mute a rachet?

@brettjonespercussion 6 ай бұрын

Hi Virginia. For the crescendo, I would use the members of the orchestra to muffle the sound to start with. Hold it lower and then raise the ratchet as you crank it (the way you might for a crescendo on a tambourine). I'm not sure how you would mute a ratchet - I would just make sure you don't hold over the beat at all and try to end with an accented release. I hope this helps!

@virginiapatterson6808 6 ай бұрын

Thank you for your reply. It is supposed to be mounted, probably because I have to go from Timpani to ratchet and back to Timpani pretty quickly. I am thinking I may use some kid of foam or towel even to lightly mute it. I did not think about the accented release tip you gave me, so thank you for that comment as well!@@brettjonespercussion
