Glad to help! Good luck with marching band. It's been a long time since I marched when the dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Glad to help. 🙂

For sure! Glad to help. 🙂

Glad to help! 🙂

Glad to help! We always try to make sure to establish ideas in a way that you can think about them logically instead of just using brute force memorization. That way it's easier to figure things out again if you partially forget, and it's also easier to learn new things as you progress. 👍

Thanks! If you watch the lesson from this series about building major scales, minor scales basically work the same way but if you use the whole step/half step pattern from the note A instead of the note C. That's "Natural Minor." For harmonic minor replace G with G#, and for Melodic minor replace F and G with F# and G# on the way up, BUT still play F natural and G natural on the way down. As far as reading, what's the issue with the more complex thing you're trying to read? Do you not understand the rhythm, the pitch, or some sort of other type of notation?

Nice. Very cool. Feel free to share when it's finished. 🙂

Glad to help. 🙂

Who is teaching and demonstrating drums? He sounds friendly.@@MTSstudiosmedia

@@jeromedavis8575 That was me in these tutorials. I introduce myself at the beginning of each series. ua-cam.com/video/56GN1A3obBg/v-deo.htmlsi=aN79BbBjYZhKeJWg

Also, you should consider doing ASMR with the drums, such as doing some tapping on them.

That's great! Glad I could help a little bit.

There might be, but I've never had one. There's a decent amount of niche hardware out there if you look hard enough.

Glad to help! 👍

Nice! Glad to help. Good luck getting into producing. 👍

Sorry about that. These were made pretty cheaply and quickly with only one camera and it's built in mic. I'd like to do a higher quality one for drums at some point. For our guitar videos we were able to make them turn out a little nicer.

Glad to help. lol jeez... That Porcupine Tree song is over 12 minutes long. If I had to try to break down the form: 0:00 Intro 1:58 Verse 2:26 Chorus 2:43 Verse 3:14 Chorus 3:30 Bridge 4:02 Guitar Solo 4:51 Verse 5:20 Chorus 5:37 Bridge 6:07 Transition 6:20 Guitar Solo 6:55 Instrumental A 7:19 Instrumental B 7:43 Instrumental C 8:08 Instrumental D 8:44 Guitar Solo 9:44 Verse 10:15 Chorus 10:44 Outro to Fade... I mean it's kind of like a normal form but with everything having an extra layer of stuff. Basically replace this: A = Verse B = Chorus A = Verse B = Chorus C = Bridge B = Chorus with this: A = Verse + Chorus B = Bridge + Solo A = Verse + Chorus B = Bridge + Solo C = Extended Instrumental A = Verse + Chorus It's still has the same idea of establishing two things, repeating those two things, contrasting, and then returning to something more familiar. It uses the same concepts but on a larger scale. I hope that helps!

Hello!! Did you watch the other videos in this series? We talk about partials in video #3: ua-cam.com/video/WbLY35FXg0w/v-deo.html That's the word we use to describe the different notes you get by changing your embouchure (how your lips interact with the instrument). 1st partial would be the lowest sound you can get out by relaxing your lips. If you make your embouchure more firm and focused, you can make a higher note come out without touching the valves at all. For most people that higher note is going to be 2nd partial. As you continue to develop your embouchure you'll need to play somewhere between 5 and 7 (or more) partials to play certain pieces of music. In video #2 we go over the valves and in video #3 we go over using your lips to play in different partials. This is the first videos where we put those two things together to play even more notes. I hope that helps! I haven't made too many videos in a while because I've been too busy at the studio. I hope to make more in the future though, and I always try to at least read comments and reply to questions. 🙂

@@MTSstudiosmedia I’ll definitely rewatch it! Thank you!!

@@kaileypaxton5739 Cool. Glad to help. 🙂

@@MTSstudiosmedia I’m incredibly grateful for you and your videos! Sorry I hadn’t responded more, I was at work! What you write makes a lot more sense! Thank you for your time! And hope you’re well!

@@kaileypaxton5739 No worries! Glad to help. I hope the rest are helpful too. Take care!

Glad to help. I haven't been able to make many new videos for a while since I've been too busy at the studio, but I'd like to make more in the future. I still try to at least read and reply to comments. Feel free to leave questions or requests. 🙂

@@MTSstudiosmedia I’ve seen that in the other videos on the drum playlist! These are really helpful and so much more straight forward than other drum videos I’ve seen! Thanks for these videos

@@irasemoomoo135 For sure! I mostly made these to help people at the studio, so I'm so glad that other folks have been finding them and feel helped by them. 😊

@@MTSstudiosmedia yeah I’m just starting off and I’m going down the playlist slowly you should keep making more vids! I’m also gonna use your piano playlist :D

@@irasemoomoo135 Nice! That's great. I'd like to make more for sure. I'm just working 7 days a week as is, so I'm super slammed. Someday hopefully.

Thanks!

Glad to help! I haven't had time to make many new videos recently since I've been so busy at the studio. I try to always read comments though. Feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions.

are you still playing trumpet?

That's a cowbell. There's some that are meant to be hand held, but there's others that are meant to be mounted so you can integrate into the drum set. Thanks for the comment. I've been too busy at the studio to make videos recently, but I'd like to resume some day. In the meantime I try to answer questions at the very least. Let me know if you have any other questions or requests for future videos.

Glad to help. Feel free to leave any requests or questions if you want. I've been busy at the studio and haven't had a chance to make new videos in a while, but I always try to answer questions at least. I'm hoping to make some more new videos in the future as well.

Glad to help! I haven't got to make any new videos in a while since I've been pretty busy at the studio, but feel free to leave any questions or requests. At the very least I always try to answer questions in the comments. 👍

@@MTSstudiosmedia you're too nice man. Absolutely following

@@willcoffarchives Thanks! Much appreciated.

The most minimalistic mic setup you could probably do and get a decent sound would be just one condenser mic a few feet away from the drum set. From there I'd probably prioritize using specialized mounted mics for the kick and snare. Ones for the toms would be nice too, but I'd probably do 2 pencil mics for overheads before I worried about that. Put that all together and you'd have mounted mics on all the shells (1 kick, 1 snare, 3 toms), 2 overhead pencil mics, and it's nice to have a nice condenser as a room mic as well. The answer for this video is... zero dedicated mics. This was something just recorded quickly as a learning aid for our in-studio students with the internal mic of the camera. In a pinch you could also use something like a handheld dedicated audio recorder. Some of our more recent videos at least have that, so they have better quality audio. I would like to do higher fidelity version of these at some point, but I've been too busy at the studio to dedicate time to things like that. :(

@@MTSstudiosmedia I found a list online of the pictures on the keyboard and what they mean. The cymbals all look and sound very similar.

@@lisalegrand2186 Yeah, cymbals can take a little time to discern. Basically some are used for "riding" [playing steady patterns on] when you play time patterns and others are used more for accenting or punctuating important points in time. Most contemporary music will use the hi-hat for the first one of those things and crash cymbals for the second, but they can both be used for the opposite along with other cymbals that can be used in either role too.

Is this a question? Learning with an app can really vary from person to person. For some people things click, and they have an easy time learning independently. Other people really struggle learning about music even with 1-on-1 assistance. And there's everything in between or maybe it's one way for certain aspects and the other way for other aspects. You don't really know until you give it a try.

​@@MTSstudiosmedia hi, I am also trying to learn drums but I suck at the 123 12 hand thing 😂 I cant quite make my hands in sync.

​@@MTSstudiosmedia making my hand sync with different bpm is hardd hahahaha

@@zoul34 Hi! Someone might be showing you things that are more complicated or even unnecessary. I've been playing music for over 20 years, and I'm getting close to have been teaching about 20 years too. You pretty much never need to think in 3 for one hand and 2 for the other or think in two BPMs at once. The closest thing to that is the concept of polyrhythms, and you don't really think two different things at the same time. You build a more complex framework that accommodates two simpler ideas in a new way together. Try going through the rest of this play list to start working on basic rhythm and coordination exercises. Best of luck on your journey! I hope you stick with it.

@@MTSstudiosmedia thanks a lot! I definitely would.

I'm not a 100% what you're asking for. I'm assuming you mean some kind of cymbal. Probably just hi-hats or a crash. If you can point to a specific part of a specific song I can give you a more precise answer.

That's a cowbell. I only went over the most standard parts of the setup, but sometimes people may have additional pieces like a cowbell or a china cymbal or an additional floor tom. I hope that helps! 👍

The first part is in free time, but the part with bass and cowbell is at 60BPM. I hope that helps!

@@MTSstudiosmedia It does! Thank you so much

Glad to help! I haven't had time to make new videos recently, but feel free to leave any questions or requests here too.

@@MTSstudiosmedia Thank you

IM HERE FOR MY MUSIC EXAM TOO LMAO

For sure! Glad to help. I've been too busy at the studio to make videos for a while, but I'd really like to do some more in the future some time. It's really cool to see people still using these.

Thanks! I haven't had a chance to post anything new in a while, but one of my studio partners should be posting a new series pretty soon. If you have any specific requests, I'd be down to take a shot at it if there isn't much in the way of existing resources online. If there is though, I'd probably just point you in that direction. :D

I feel you there! I started music playing trombone in school band because I didn't feel like I could ask my parents to shoulder the cost of me learning anything I actually wanted to do. My dad played trombone when he was younger, so we just had one stored away. Eventually I talked them into getting me a guitar, I taught myself for a few years, and I managed to study music at a state university on scholarships. Now I run a studio in northern California, and I make sure we both provide scholarships for locals and make free online resources for folks in similar situations to me when I was younger. Glad to help! I haven't made much new material in a while since things have been so busy at the studio, but I'm hoping to get to it again later.

Hi! Thanks for the comment. :) For the longest time 5 piece was just the standard for just about everything. More recently 4 piece is what you're more likely to see for new drum kits. I tend to recommend used 5 piece kits for beginners for a few reasons. -Most beginner literature is old, so it's based on 5 piece kits since they were the standard for so long. -Buying used kits is cheaper (and less wasteful potentially) -Since a 5 piece is a kick, snare, and 3 toms (2 rack and 1 floor) it gives you 4 drums in front of you to play with your hands. A lot of beginning patterns will be based on cycles or sets of 4 or 2, so it's nice to have an even number of drums to map those ideas to. That all said, 4 pieces are fine! You don't really see 3 pieces very much. If you search for 3-piece drum set, you'll mostly find high end shell kicks that are just a kick, floor tom, and rack tom, and the expectation is that you would shop for the snare drum a la carte. ;) I hope that's helpful. Feel free to post any other questions or requests. I haven't made any new videos in a few years since I've been too busy at the studio. I'm hoping to pick back up sometime though.

@@MTSstudiosmedia thank for your time. Yes it was helpful. Keep the good work going

Glad to help! Feel free to leave any questions or requests as well. I've been too busy at the studio to make any new videos for the last few years, but I'd really like to resume at some point.

omg same😂😂

@@MTSstudiosmedia would love to see an updated trumpet series some time soon there really isnt that much trumpet tutorials

@@dibejac8391 Thanks for the comment! So my phase two for brass instruments is mainly to do the following things: -Expand on rhythm -Improve range and embouchure by doing lip slurs -Really start getting tonal vocabulary dialed in by learning all your major scales -Get started on doing some book work so you can improve independently -Projects, projects, projects! I don't know how soon I'll be able to do a new series, since things have been so busy lately, but if you have any one-off requests I'd give them a look. At the very least I might be able to point to some other pre-existing resources that I'd recommend.

@@MTSstudiosmedia sounds good im looking forward for it😁
