  • Join us for an exclusive look at the gear behind the performances of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony- and Grammy-Award-winning musical Hamilton, guided by ensemble drummer Andres Forero. Here, Andres brings us backstage of the Richard Rodgers Theatre and into the orchestra pit for a glimpse of his set-up and the drum sound that fuels the rhythm-driven score of Hamilton.

      Yep, he's a beast. When he's playing during an actual performance, he uses a click track to stay in perfect sync with the other percussionist and the rest of the orchestra. He did a workshop for Vic Firth in 2017. You can look up the video in their channel, it's pretty awesome. He plays 2 or 3 songs from the musical and you can actual hear the music while he plays, unlike this video where it's just him.

      teodorwenno - are we though? I think the groove is a lost art. Granted we have drummers that are much more musical than ever before. It’s the evolution of drumming. But I miss the precision, simplicity and structure of a good groove like this. So much jazz influence. Rare today I think, or am I missing something?

      Often times yes you have it completely memorised. To the point that you are relying on muscle memory not what you're eyes are reading... BUT a lot of times the conductor during rehearsal will add little embellishments or change certain parts and the orchestra or musicians will correct their charts with a pencil. It's also just good to know exactly where you are. So you can see the teucky part in bar 8 for example.
