Roaming Hearts for Wind Ensemble was premiered by the Clover Hill High School Wind Ensemble during their Sounds of Spring concert on 18 May 2023.

Cymbal Basics with notation!
Переглядів 16 тис.2 роки тому
The purpose of this video is to provide an insultingly basic approach to marching cymbals. My technique might leave a bit to be desired, but if you want to touch on some cymbal terminology and see cymbal music performed live with the score, I hope this helps! This is not to be considered comprehensive or exclusive; there's lots of ways to approach this instrument. If you have a dedicated instru...

This is a lot run through of the indoor percussion production “First Rites of Passage”.

Lucky

This is a cadence based on the 311 tune Lucky off of their Grassroots record. This one is solid for any number of basses, and includes a cymbal part that will actually keep the players working! The modular structure makes this anywhere from on to three minutes long. Have fun! More about me and what I'm doing at www.OrnithMusic.com

This beginner percussion octet is great for experienced junior high percussionists or high school beginners. It has two keyboard parts and six drum parts, which can be played on any drum as long as the relative pitch and timbre is considered. Clover Hill premiered this in 2019 and I was so pleased with how they did! More about me and what I'm doing at www.OrnithMusic.com

I composed this piece for a good friend’s beginner percussion class. It is designed to be modular, and only uses practice pads. It also utilises the stand and sticks for sounds. It includes a fun, synthy backing track, and has an optional solo! They threw it together quickly and knocked the premier out of the park for their virtual performance in 2020.

W youtuber without this guy I wouldn't even know how to play the marching cymbals and I'm marching with thim thank you
This was so helpful as a first time band director teaching marching band!! Thank you!!!
i got cut from winter percussion auditions for my school unfortunately for the 2024 season. i tried for cymbal line and i was next on the list but they couldnt have me cuz it'd be too much :') im working on enhancing my skillset so my chances go up for the 2025 season!
All power to you, best of luck!!! You’ll get it with enough hard work!!!
Thank you Mr. Ornith for taking the time to show us your playing technique. I think I may have done some "distorted" variation of what you were showing when I played an approximate 6" diameter pair of Chinese Cymbals at a Chinese Buddhist Temple for almost 5 years and 9 months. Since I played by ear and both the Senior Monk and the Filipino Monk on the drum and bell (who I followed closely because we both enjoyed "freeplay" style of playing) could chant and play quickly, my style of playing was adaptive and fluid. The cymbals had ribbons that allowed me to adjust finger and palm positions as needed per the music. That's why I am trying to find a pair of 7" or 8" diameter cymbals ( I feel may be the "sweet spot" for the sound quality I am looking for without breaking the piggy bank) to maintain the skill. I haven't played since 5/23/23; because of a rift with some people at the temple. Thanks again for this video. Blessings! 🙏🙏🙏💜💐
Hello! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I'm glad to hear that even folks outside of the marching world enjoy this one. I hope you can get back to playing soon!
Beautiful explanation ❤
Thanks!!!
How do you tell the difference between a port crash and a three step crash on sheet music?
There may be other ways that I'm not as familiar with, (usually a distinct notehead), but I will almost always use the default notehead and include the text "port" or "port crash" directly above. For clarity's sake, I'll almost always include the technique I'm after, even if the context renders it intuitive.
Thank you man! I'm a composer from Brazil, and I'm learning so much about percussion writing, thanks for this.
Your high hat is totally all wrong. You’re only choking the sound. A cymbal high hat sound actually has a tone. Yours has no tone whatsoever.
Thank you! A much needed lesson!
Thanks for helping me with my technical skills as a beginning cymbal player.
Thank you sir For teaching basics of marching cymbals n variations in crash sounds etc.
this is cool!
Thank you so much. I’m practicing to audition for the rose parade
Thanks for this. I’m heading to college marching where I’m in cymbals and this definitely has made me excited and helped me understand my music more. Thank you
So glad it helped you out! I wish you success with your season on cymbals. I hope your group uses the same or similar terminology! The more I teach, the more names I find for the same techniques 😅
excellent first vid my dude. Great work!
Super useful man for aspiring musicians looking into understanding the craft. thanks for putting this together!
I think what makes a musician good is definitely a subjective idea
amazing demonstration! keep up the easy to follow basic instructions on approaching marching cymbals!
Cant wait to see more from your channel!
I want to try to go into cymbal line, so this was super helpful to watch!
Glad I could help!
As a cymbal player who has been doing it competitively for the past year, this was a interesting video to look into. I've been working on ways to help teach some of the newcomers to cymbals learn the basics and even with variations this is as simple as it can get for a starting point so that you for making this video.
Thank you so much for your kind words! These are the basic set of techniques I use for all my beginners, so I’m glad it’ll help you share as well! That was exactly my goal, to provide a first step for those who want to learn. It can definitely be tricky to keep cymbal players engaged. It’s especially difficult without a dedicated instructor or extra time to work these specific techniques. When I write for an all-rookie cymbal line, I try to get them familiar with this set of skills, that way they can expand to releases and more visually complex manoeuvres but still contribute musically. I wish good skill to anyone learning these techniques!
I’m writing cadences for my drumline and I didn’t want to leave the cymbals out. So thank you very much, this helps me learn cymbal terminology and such :)
So glad to help! I'd love to hear what you're working on if you ever want to share
This was super helpful I'm starting cymbals in two days and this made it easy to learn quickly
I’m so glad to hear that! If you have an instructor, definitely use and adhere to the vocabulary that they use or the forms they show you, but I’m so glad this video helped! Marching cymbal lines are such wonderful things, even though they’re rare. If you need any more clarification, or want a follow up video about specific techniques, I’d be happy to make one!
This video was really thorough and helped so much, thank you!
I’m so glad it helped! You’re very welcome!
Loved this performance!!
I did too! I love how much these kids learn. A lot of those kiddos were super new to percussion and that’s not the easiest piece in the world at all!
Awesome. I can't wait to hear more.
Several more videos set to release, and I’ve been shooting and story boarding more :)
