i love trombone
i also love trombone
What a coincidence, me too!
Wait, me too!
Me 4
Wow, me too!
Playing since 4th grade. At 65 I love playing the 3rd and bass part with a tenor horn + F attachment. I like being the barking guy under the band.
As a percussionist turned composition student, I don't know where the world of music would be without the Trombone. Such an amazingly versatile instrument. Want soft, mellow melodies? Trombone. How about epic, blaring bass lines? Trombone. Some of the stankiest funk you've ever heard? Trombone. Hands down tied with French Horn as my favorite instrument to use in my compositions.
bruh i don't understand why so many people like the french horn, like appart from backgrounds in classical it doesn't sound great imo
@@IsmaelCordier Someone's never listened to a John Williams soundtrack.
@@alexanderhoak i have played john william medleys with my music school's orchestra, but tbh french horn is really hard to play so french horn players from my music school kinda suck
Nice to see video of authentic instruments. A very comprehensive overview of 600 years of history compressed into 15 minutes. Bravo!
Thank you!
A good overview. It's difficult to capture it all in 15 minutes. It could also mention a little about brands--for example how Bach & Conn become dominant in the post-war period, & then more recently, other brands like Shires, Yamaha, etc. begin to challenge that dominance. Then there's the wide variety of mutes that are developed & used, plus the fact that lacquers come in rose, yellow, & gold colours...etc. etc. etc...George, Canada (full disclosure: I play a Bach 42b).
I might ruin the perfect 100 likes. It depends on how I feel.
As a somewhat experienced trombone player, I had no idea the trombone was still being used before Beethoven, I have a whole new area of music to explore
Those early trombones were actually “Sackbuts” and are distinguishable but the smaller bell.
The New York trombone ensemble really got me. I have been playing for 3 years, and this, this got me going hard
as a soprano trombone player, I am deeply offended that he didn't even mention it.
Trombone:
The definitive musical instrument
Yes.
Facts my brother. Spit your truths.
Or spit your valves I should say
@@ShiftedStriker trombones dont have valves😂
@@HIHELLO72915 they have a spit valve
@@ShiftedStriker oh yeah. I'm a trombonist so i should have got that💀
Watched this entire video, I’m an alto saxophone but you scooped me into the world of the trombone. Amazing video
I'm a bassist (both guitar and upright) as well as a baritone vocalist, and this shit is fascinating.
I'm also an alto saxophone. I am about to be sold to some Nigerian, help
I absolutely love that you added modern history
love how your intro animation includes a phrase from the iconic Rimsky-Korsakov Concerto
I started trombone about a yr ago and it’s brilliant. I was already good at cello and piano so i had a fast progression
You posted this just in time for researching my project on the trombone. Thanks!
Absolutely!
My project is due tomorrow and I only started today
I’m not a trombone player. I’ve never even picked up a trombone before. But as a musician, I am such a huge fan of this instrument. Thank you for this video.
First I want to say THIS IS AMAZING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Trombone was my first instrument in band. At 12 years old I had no clue of the power this instrument holds. I’d not discover that until my first up close experience ( standing behind the trombones with the symphony chorus) with a professional orchestra. They came in and I thought the roof was going to fly off the woodruff arts center! I just stood there with an evil smile on my face thinking , “Yeah, that’s what they came here for that’s the ticket!” And now I play the harp.
Great video.The clips showing early music feature “sackbuts” which were the forerunner of the modern trombone.IThe instrument is distinguishable by it’s smaller bell.
Thanks for this. I took a class for my Trombone Literature last year but this is a good refresher!
Glad I could help!
I used to play trumpet in school, then I developed a major disdain for trombone when the whole trombone section thought it was great fun one year to constantly hit the trumpets with their slides for a year, so I quit. Now I play violin and if any trombone player wants to come at me with their slide, just know that the tip of my bow is very sharp and stabby. As a side note though, thank you for making me realize that I also like baroque trombone music. Very nice compliment to the violin and klavier.
As a violin/cello player/instructor.
I like the brass. blowing a trumpet for about a year (I use a pocket trumpet while sitting in traffic practicing scales up and down). then blowing a trombone for the first time in about a decade I couldn't sustain any notes too long. Bigger, longer tubes sure needed more air to fill. Makes me give props to tuba players.
Bruhh the "You could make a religion out of this" line kills every time
Lol glad you like it!
I've been playing trombone for 51 years, and love this video.
May I keep in touch with you Mr. Ashley? I need your help so I can play better.
Do you have any advice? I’ve been playing for 11 years but it’s always good to have advice
@@MarigoldHakaro Always blow the water out before you put it back in its case.....
@@ScratchySlide thank you I have trouble remembering that. In fact I’ll use this a a reminder to put a sticky note on my hand to do it
@@MarigoldHakaro You're very welcome. Enjoy blowing!!
It wasn't Friedrich August Belcke----- Carl Traugott Queisser was the first to perform the David Konzert as it was commissioned for him. The premiere took place in the Gewandhaus Hall in Leipzig with Mendelssohn conducting.
The Trombone is one of the instruments of all time
Who knew😂😂😂😂
The trombone lead toward the end of ‘Gift With Purchase’ is so beautiful! UA-cam it!!
Love to see a history of some of the major trombone manufacturers of the past and of current day! (Rath, Shires, Edward's, etc)!
very well done video, i'm a tenor sax player myself, but this was a great video
As a trumpet player, I got to say trombone was my first brass instrument back in my Middle school years, but then I felled in love with the trumpet.
Megasus
9:42 "Bass trombonists didn't have much to work with so they just stole the tuba solo." Yep, that was me in the 1970s
HAHAHAHA
Valve trombones were quite popular in the 19th century, especially in Italy and Eastern Europe, and bands in America often had valved trombones instead.
That is true
If there is no slide, can it really be called a trombone?
That's called foreshadowing making me laugh each time bravo
Lol I didn't know it would be funny!
I've been practicing trombone for about a decade now, and I've just discovered your channel. Just subscribed ;-)
Thanks!
I play bass trombone, euphonium, (and soprano trombone sometimes) so needless to say I really liked this video
Really like the video and how are you quickly take us through everything I had no idea the trombone had such an interesting history
Thank you Spencer! Hope you and your brothers are doing well!
@@TheTromboneChannel Thank you Jack we are doing very well
I love it when I put on a video to learn shit and end up laughing my ass off. I love how the memes were kinda slowly inserted and then dominated the space XD
Hear me out. Trombones are the base instrument .
⬇️
Trumpet=Small, squeaky, twisted trombone
French horn = Twirly, majestic trombone
Euphonium/Baritone= Chubby ,twisted trombone
Tuba= OBESE Trombone
Drums=Boom trombone
Cymbals = Clank trombone
Piano = 88-valve trombone
You are completely right, almost all of those instruments have tuning slides which are just tiny pathetic slides to try to be more like the trombone
I love this silly little doot doot machine
0:18, crazy how a trombone can sound so much like a euphonium 😉
Yeah I'm prolly gonna hire a friend of mine to actually play it for real.
damn, didn’t know they had such good cameras back in 1856 5:20
13:08 it IS the most epic shit in the entire fckign planet!!
This is freaking fantastic!!!
Check out Peter Steiner's recording of Todd Goodman's Trombone Concerto (it's on UA-cam). Both the concerto and the recording are amazing!
You’ve just deserved my sub
I had a band director who was a bop pianist and trombonist. But he had an old rotary valve beat up euphonium that he loved to run be-bop lines on! Man he made that piece of shit swing. But honestly I came to understand how very difficult it was to get around on a trombone. He loved that euphonium because 🤷 valves he'd never admit it because he loved trombone. But by bop smearing around had no value. Anyway in contemporary jazz trombonists need to sound like they're playing a valved instruments. Which is inherently hard to do. Single double triple tounging practiced till the cows come home for life plus very accurate subtle coordination of ambrosure and slide manipulations so that all those chromatically altered harmonies may flow improvisationally outchore bell. Robin Eubanks , Bill Watrous, etc etc etc.
Very fun video!
Thank You!
Wow this was so well done.
Very nice job!
This is the Best Video about trombones I've ever seen. So Nice. 👍👍👍
I was enjoying this until near the end and the "F" bomb gets dropped in there a couple times. COME ON MAN! I was going to show this to my trombone student. Not any more. Clean it up!
Thanks for the information🎶
Alto trombone is the most under appreciated and under used horn in jazz, soul, R & B, and other modern music. I switched to only alto and I’m never going back!
As a trombone player, this video was amazing!!!!!
Man do I love the trombone
Trombone is the best instrument throughout history tbh
Disney: *girl trombonist*
This guy: *explaining the whole trombone lore*
This was beautiful.
I put this in a presentation for school I almost got in trouble at the end
As a clarinetist and marching bottom bass player with minimal brass experience, this was a cool video.
It wasn't until recently that I got to hear a meaty low winds section in a big regional band I auditioned for and my gosh it was the most epic thing I've ever heard. The CONTRABASS clarinet, a contra bassoon, like 10 French horns (I've seen 3 at max anywhere else) and just a super awesome bones and tuba section. We played movement 1 of The Hobbit: Gandalf and it was HEAVENLY
thats m'boy! i started playing trombone in 5th grade and i wouldnt swap instruments for a trillion bucks, you get to slip and slide around, do the "wa wa wa waaaaa", and you carry the band when it comes to volume
From 0:22-0:34 the player is András Sütő, not Péter Pálinkás. They both play in the Corpus Trombone Quartet by the way.
As a double bass player , trombone is my second favorite brass instrument after tuba
Yet this video couldn’t get you to put trombone first.
Christopher Bill may be the guy that may have made multitracking more popular but, he's not the first one to to it. Other brass brass players I've seen online do this. TubaPeter have been making recordings of low brass instruments since the early 2000s and put them on UA-cam. Another UA-camr that goes by Sud28 invented his own version of the sonic boom fanfare back in 2008 called "Souba Trombone using a headset to record the audio." He even has a Remix of the famous low brass sonic boom/snake pit fanfare I used to listen to his instrumentals on repeat to hear just how great he sounds on his trombone.
This is such a good vid 😂
great documentary....
From John Philip Sousa to Trombone Champ. The history of trombone.
Mans summed it up pretty much.
you should mention Urbie Green and his 21 trombones album....in addition to, well, just his amazing talent.
My random trombone story: When I was a high-schooler, I played with the Texas Trombones. The organizer was a music professor at Rice University in Houston (sorry, I don't remember his name). We played at a Mardi Gras parade in Nice, France. The French were disappointed in our jeans and sweatshirt uniform, so they actually sewed some white fringe up and down the legs.
You forgot to include the Pbone
This video kept my attention for 15 minutes. Wow.
Glad you liked it!
Kirara senpai: hmm... I wonder if that trombone is in that music shop?
Maybe in the jazzy musical - neon box
Wait a second... I's tahat a slider?!
Yaaas it is in the jazz box!
Strombonin from msm (my singing monsters): hey! What are you doing in that music shop?! Enough... That's mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!
Kirara senpai: i'm sorry (ishyy farah) i did'nt mean to, i was just looking...
Strombonin: oh... why am i worrying?
Fumi itachi: heh.
I seem to have forgotten Davis Shuman's invention, the "angled" trombone.....for those with short arms. I suppose he didn't want to bother with a trigger.
I was wondering what the intro song of this is, if you could tell me that would be awesome! I love the trombone even though i'm an alto saxaphone player, i wishy to be able to play the trombone some day.
What a curious trumpet
My fine arts teacher actually played this in class for us
Epic video
Epic comment
I’ve seen the entire trombone family, it’s cool
0:14 迫真の組み立て
I play the trombone so seeing this video is very interesting
I love playing Trombone!!! And I currently have three of them including a Soprano, Alto, and Bass Trombone. Next I want to buy a Contrabass Trombone in F but I need $10,000 for that so I have to save my money for a while lol.
There are cheaper Chinese ones out there.
@@TheTromboneChannel yeah I was told by a professional player to avoid the Chinese horns because they are crap and he said that I wouldn’t be happy with it. So I’m probably going to get a Jurgen Voigt F Contrabass Trombone because it seems like a really nice horn and it’s handmade in Germany.
Shoutout to Aidan Ritchie at 6:05 😄
In the name of every other instrument, stop being so loud.
-an attacked sax
Dude maslaka is like the best modern composer. Maybe ticheli but maslaka is great. Listen to give us this day
I know - trust me - I played that song in hs
@@TheTromboneChannel same
My favorite low brass piece is dance of the knights
Got a tromboner
Where can I find the song that starts at 11:34? you only get to hear a few seconds of it and I really want to hear the whole thing! thanks in advance!
Dover - the westerlies
@@TheTromboneChannel thank you!
Love your video…I was thinking how cool it would be to share with my band students. (Many band directors probably would)… as shit, fucking foreshadowing. Language.
Thanks for your comment, I will be more mindful of this in the future.
I know that he may be the first official person to start a “trombone choir” but look at the united house of prayer shout hands we have been doing it since the 1910s
"surely no one will change this.."
me: oh no not again
"THATS CALLED FORESHADOWING"
If I got better at trombone every time he said “that’s called foreshadowing” I’ll be the greatest trombone player ever 😂😂
Fuckin' love THIS!! Sub'd
Glad you love it!
Not to brag, maybe yes I'm bragging, but Giovanni Gabrieli was my ancestor, we still live near Venice, my grandfather's grandfather was the last one to bare the Gabrieli surname, and was still a musician, a violinist, he still had Giovanni's music sheets (I don't know if autographs or early prints) then during WW2 everything was stolen by the retreating Germans alongside his piano and violin; don't know how they ended up if burnt to light a fire or kept/sold for profit
This vid is amazing but I have a question- isn’t the earliest form of trombone called the sackbut?
Not all early trombones we’re referred to as sackbuts.
Thank you so much for that
9:17 every high school low brass section ever
Back in high school when my low brass section was consistently voted the best marching section of the band, we enjoyed our rather cocky and crude motto: "LOW BRASS KICKS ****!"
is it possible to list ALL the companies who built and are building trombones? I'vwe had trombones built at least 5 different companys. Thanks for your compreensible post.
Sure
I regularly watch videos on UA-cam of a terrific female trombone player (and player of just about everything else) Gunhild Carling.
For a single trigger trombone, just lip down on T7.
real trombone champ facts
Easily the most versatile instrument to exist.
debatable
@@user-pm5tm5mz2n no
id say its inarguably up there as one of the most versatile, but at the top levels of playing, any instrument can be played with extreme versatility
@@ArsenalTheProtogen as an unbiased composer, what you just said can be said about every instrument. Trombone isn't any more versatile than any other brass instrument in my experience. In fact, it's a lot more limiting in textures and range than most other instruments. Sure, you can play really high and really low, but the embers of those extreme ranges don't have much use outside of solos.
voxman music building, iowa city, ia from 10:34-10:39 :))
Ah yes the Trombone, die Posaune. As we call it jokingly "Tonsuchgerät" means looking-for-tone-device
