    “You don’t want to put too much” - definitely true. ALL the excess gets blown out the water valve. Think of how much longer it lasts by using just enough. Takes a few times to figure out how much that is, but once you do, save your money and don’t use too much! I like slide o mix because it doesn’t seem to build up as much gunk as the creams

  • @Onrust35

    It's true - a really smooth fast feeling slide does allow me to play better. More confidently! I use Slide-O-Mix too. Love the stuff.

    I think this is a good vid, Paul. The only things I might add especially for the less experienced trombonist, is that it can really pay to have a good repair tech work out any dents or bends in your slide if it isn't really smooth, and also if you might go a few days without playing, your slide might be a little smoother cleaning and lubing it before you pay rather than after. Love your work!

    I've used slide-o-mix forever, but I found it was more of a hassle for me than it was useful. I have found that Yamaha slide lubricant is far more effective and easier to clean off my slide. I am interested in the slide-o-mix cleaning rod though

    • @lauriebrown1441

  • @ewanpotter4941
    @ewanpotter4941 Před 9 lety +3

    Slide-O-Mix is incredible, and I use the two bottle set, but I noticed that you didn't spray water onto your slide. Isn't that what your meant to do, because the water beads up when you spray it and then the slide runs on the water? Again, it may be a difference between the two in one bottle. Good video though, it's great to see people giving Slide-O-Mix attention, because it is an insanely useful product, and also demonstrating how to use it, because I've seen very little of videos like this on youtube. Thanks!

    • @geraldnichols2722
      @geraldnichols2722 Před 6 lety

      But---- remember that a LITTLE is better! [Because too much cream makes for more friction and slows down the movement and makes it seem like the slide is heavier.]

    I've used superslick and water for years and as long as you wipe the excess lube off after you're done working it into the slide then you can reproduce the same results as what Paul is doing here. I don't know about Slide-o-mix but regular slide oil can damage your slide over time.

      I am a constant anal experimenter with my slides, and I have learned in 60 some years that it depends on the particular slide and the player. Currently, I am using SOM with a "touch" of REKA on top. When I use an old, worn slide, I need to use a heavier cream like Trombotine or Yamaha (in the toothpaste tube) with a dot of silicone perhaps.

    Why on God’s green earth would you put any slide mix on the top part of the slide. The only part of the inner slides that touched the outer part of the slide is the crook of the slide (the bottom part that bulges out). You put a little bit on the bottom and work in on the crook only. Anything else is just a waist of time and potentially slows down the slide. But this is something you already know because you know everything there is about the trombone.
