- Hi there! I'm so excited for this one. Definitely one of the most fun parts to play on this beautiful instruments, and even more if you get to play the entire music with the film projection. It was quite a challenge, but also super rewarding.
At the same time it's kind of nostalgic because this was recorded in February, shortly before COVID-19 and all the pandemic quarantine.
I'm so looking forward to getting back to play with my wonderful orchestra colleges of the Orquesta Estable del Teatro Colon, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Just for you to know, this was the dress rehearsal at our lovely Teatro Colon, and the audio was mixed between the camera microphone and another mic I set up somewhere in the hall. I hope it sounds good enough for you to appreciate the amazing work by John Williams, and these challenging timpani parts.
I might upload a couple more clips from this recording in the near future, so stay tuned for more to come!!
Be safe, wear a mask (this is gonna look weird in a couple years from now haha) and as always, best wishes from Buenos Aires, Argentina!!! - Hudba
So cool ! Brass and percussions players must love John Williams. Thanks you for this amazing point of view ! :)
Oh! You’re so kind. Yes, definitely one of the most fun (and challenging) parts for us. Best wishes to you!
This is why the Timpani is the best instrument
I'm here because my music teacher let us watch this and it was amazing
I can recall exactly what is happening on screen just with the music. That's how you spot a great film composer, You don't have to look to have the image playing in your brain. You know the exact moment Vader enters, the exact moment the droids jettison the escape pod.
Awesome! 6 drums wow!!!! Did it say 6 in the score? Mallets sound great love it!
Felix thank you so much for your comment. There’s no notation about how many drums you should use. This is what worked for me. I’ve seen people do this with 7 or even 8 timpani to avoid a lot of pedaling, but that wasn’t a possibility in our case because of the limited space in the stage.. best wishes from Argentina!
Wow! Me encanto! Busque muchos videos de timpani relacionados al tema principal de Star Wars. Yo soy flautista y toque con orquesta durante 4 años... me encantaria ser percusionista y tocar el timpani ♥ Que instrumento mas bello! Gracias por grabar (: Me suscribi!
Que genia!! Muchas gracias por tus palabras ❤️❤️
Thank you for posting this. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is very inspiring to watch! I only get to play the Timpani once a year when we play a symphonic concert in our local music club. I love it, but I still have much to learn. A video focusing on a pro timpanist throughout a whole song definitely helps.
GREAT playing!!! Very nice...hard gig...you really need to be focused and also relaxed...sight reading Live is very difficult indeed...well done sir!
Thank you so much for your comment!! Indeed it was quite a challenge, but luckily we made it through!!... best wishes from Argentina and stay safe!!
This is so much fun to watch. Excellent reading and playing! At 5:06, did you have both drums tuned to A?
I love your touch, man!
Bravo!!😊👏👏You play so great!👍👍👍✨I found your part plays many same notes with our Bass part, and with timpani sound the base line sounds so strong and brilliant✨Muchas gracias de Japon🇯🇵
Awesome!
Generalísimo!
My music teacher let us watch this lol
Haha really??!! How crazy is that haha. Thank you so much for your comment ❤️❤️
Incredible
Thank you so much!!
Cool stuff, dude!!
Grande rusito!!!
Amazing
Thank you so much John!!! Really appreciate it 🙌🏼🙌🏼
the drums were more like from ESB, especially at 1:15
Great video! Question, Why are timpani drums so expensive?
Gabriel- what timpani pads do you use? I would like to get some
Felix the pads I’m using are made by an Argentinian percussion instruments maker. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind shipping internationally. The brand is Gesteiner. You can find him on Instagram or Facebook
What mallets where you using during this performance?
Hey there! Thank you so so much.. well I’m constantly switching mallets, but I primarily play Picarde, KATO, and Playwood… balance and built quality are just pristine
0 dislikes? We should keep it like that
I’m still stoked. This community is just awesome! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hey friend where is the video orchestral timpani excerpts?
Hey there.. I deleted it because I have a newer one coming soon.. I felt that I’ve change so much the way I play, both technically and musically.. so yeah, stay tune for new and better stuff to come!
I would love to be in a orchestra
You can!! It’s a matter of being consistent and work hard!! In case you’re interested, I’m also teaching percussion via streaming. Maybe I can help with your desire of being in a orchestra 👌🏼👌🏼
Best wishes from Argentina
Thank I think I be cheers
