@@templarexemplar35 You have a good point there. In marching band, oe outside in general, flutes and piccolos are weak as shit. In concert band, or inside, it's not very weak. BUT with the trumpet, it sounds very cool and powerful, but very strained. It's still cool and I like it :) (I sound a little salty in a weird way)
For those who haven't played trumpet (or a brass instrument), this is harder than it looks. Not only technique wise, but it's physically demanding as well.
@@jhalo2554 firm corners of your mouth to make a small opening near the middle + and blowing (alot alot alot) of very fast air through the tight opening in your lips = funny high sound but who am i kidding, i can only play a C above the staff, i think i played higher but C is the best answer for now, thats the way i describe it i guess
You can actually play a third or so lower than the normal lowest note without extensions by playing resultant notes (I think it’s called) which basically is playing a specific multi phonic so perfectly that you end up getting a low note. This is very hard to do with good sound (but very possible) aNd has little practical use. But still, it’s possible.
as a flute player who had to learn a lot of the higher notes in a fairly short amount of time, seeing notes with that many ledger lines is fucking terrifying
I knew someone in my school band who could play these kind of notes, but he ended up with a major lip muscle rupture that made him lose the ability to play the trumpet. During the pandemic, he decided to pick up a brass instrument again to see if he can play anything. After a few months, he decided that his now-healed muscles are no longer in the same condition to play with a good sound on trumpet. He switched to tuba since it requires less muscle strain and he is doing really well with it. 1st chair tuba in the top band at my school, not bad.

I was blessed to have seen Maynard Ferguson play live at our high school. Our band director was a huge fan and ticket sales were at a loss, and our director fitted the difference out of his own pocket just because it was that important to him.
Bass guitar or a true bass i.e. Eb of BBb in the English Brass Band tradition? I love the English basses... the Eb can play really quite complicated passages with clean articulation in the right hands (as can BBb but often if playing a 'solo' the Eb works better) and as a percussionist, having a strong BBb bass section (well, 2) really helps some of our drums not sounds out of place and it we can get a good groove going with entire bass section in general repotoire where the basses typically just play the same part, sometimes BBb down an octave, but you can really set the foundation for the rest of the band to play off...
I played trumpet but couldn’t not achieve this level of proficiency! I was 6 notes from a double high C! Which in reality is like 10 miles from the finish of a marathon! Some truly amazing musicians in these clip’s!!
Difference between a lot of these players and Maynard is that when they go up, their sound loses body, where Maynard's sound only get thiccer as he goes up. Makes no god damn sense.
I'm a trumpet player and have been since 1953. I've never been able to hit notes like those. My best is E flat above the scale. So, I'm in awe of those who can do what these guys do.
wow, as a non-trumpeter i can only imagine that's difficult asf and very impressive but also it just kinda sounds like someone really obnoxiously letting the air out from a balloon
If you play long enough, it becomes easier to get higher and you just got to practice enough. I’m only on my 5th year of trumpet and can go to the starting note of most of these videos.
Man percussion is sick too, check out Norfolk State's Million Dollars Funk Squad and Jackson State's War and Thunder. Just cause you're a percussionist doesn't mean you're lower, just means you're great a different thing, which is cook
Arturo Sandoval played the highest note I've ever heard when he was younger, playing with Dizzy Gillespie. Sounded like an A-C above Super C (triple c). His range and tone was incredible that day
I'm glad that you included some clips from the DCI in there, like Bridgemen, BD, and Bluecoats. I think some people don't realize that in-between solos they are constantly running around the field, which makes solos equally impressive if not more challenging to do. Loved the video!
Many say that Ferguson is the best trumpeter for high notes, I am not impressed at all. In my opinion (and I listened to the vast majority of the world's top trumpeters) Arturo Sandoval is the best jazz trumpeter of all time.And Sergey Nakariakov is the best in classic music.
"Ever" .. tough to make that call with no theoretical upper limit ... I've heard guys goof off using helium, but that's likely not a consideration. And not everything gets recorded (I once - once - popped a double Eb ... back in a college practice room ... one person told me they "heard something" down the hallway. LOL) I suspect, though, that as much as I love Arturo's playing and his range, Jon Faddis might have given him a run for his money. And Cat Anderson likely popped off a couple good ones "back in the day".
For people who have no idea, the notes shown on screen are written pitches. The sounding ones are a whole tone below. But I am not taking any credit away. No matter what, those are really high notes for the trumpet.
Ok guys, I’ve been seeing a lot of you telling me I missed some clips/videos, so I’m gonna make another one of these videos. If you have suggestions on what should be in the next video, please drop a link below. Also, please keep suggestions Double C and up.
04:07 - I was there that night when Arturo played with The United Nations Orchestra. It was truly unbelievable and he did this at the end of the nights playing! PS I’ve also played with Louis Dowdeswell and have to say he’s got the best high register sound I’ve ever heard!
My introduction to super high notes (pitches above and beyond a normal or average playing range) being played was as a freshman in high school. My school was small so if you were in band you were in Pep band like it or not. I liked it. My first forays into playing music other than traditional concert band material. Ther were 3 or 4 pieces other than the school song that had had the status of being tradition. Most of us looked forward to the day we would get to "rock out" playing those pieces, having heard them played for a number of years at every sporting event the school engaged in. And it was awesome to be making that music finally as opposed to listening to it. An example was the theme from the TV show Peter Gunn. It was played when the team, be it football, basketball, or any other sport, took to the field or court. So twice per night usually-- the beginning of the game and the return from halftime. I still have a warm spot for that piece. Another tune was "Get it On" by Bill Chase. I knew the song but nothing about who wrote or played it until I was now playing it in good old pep band. As a "slide pump" man the trumpets stood directly behind my seating area. We got to the end of that piece and out of nowhere I heard the most incredible sonic ad lib I had ever heard. It was our last song of the night so I was free to react by turning around and seeing a good friend receiving atta boys from the entire cadre of trumpets. I was impressed it was my friend since he was just a sophomore.I hadn't heard those notes from a trumpet ever in my life. They werent played in the few quick run thru sessions designed to get the frosh up to speed on the repertoire. I was sure it must have been another friend who was the lead and a senior. As we were putting our horns away I asked my friend about what I had just heard. "Oh you mean the screech notes? Yeah Chase, the guy that wrote it, was known for being able to hit those notes and used them in a few different tunes his band played." Hmmm Screech trumpet. Bill Chase. Now I had a need. I needed to hear this phenomenon by the man himself. Being a generation away from the internet still, and being a one horse town, I knew I would have to go to the 5 and 10 store (only music outlet in town) and order a copy. Which I did and was thoroughly impressed when I heard it from the man himself. Screech Trumpet. I'll be damned. Turns out my buddy Kevin had just developed the ability to hit that register. No other trumpet puffers could come close. In fact he got a minor finger wagging from our very strict but perfectionist band director because he had no idea it was going to happen that night. lol Sadly, Like Bill Chase, my friend's life was cut short. He was killed in a car accident only a couple weeks after he graduated from high school. I will always remember that piece (Get it On), it's composer (Bill Chase), my first exposure to rare extended rangeplaying (screech trumpet), and my friend Kevin who introduced it to me the first time I ever played fun music rather than classical. RIP and rock on BC and KM. It's time to head into my lair now ---- my home studio. It's time to grab my guitar and..... GET IT ON!!!
Erik Veldkamp, u sir are a king of kings in my book. The very fact that you have transcribed some of the most iconic players to ever touch the horn, then "took it up an octave" when u transcribed Fats, my all time favorite trumpeter, then ur latest of his disciple Brownie, to me, u've transcended everyone else on the scene. Please keep doing what you do because it is essential!!!
ive been playing trumpet on and off for the past few years, only started seriously playing like two years ago and i got braces a year ago, watching this is super fun but also my face hurts just listening
I spoke to a guy once who said he was an ex-high note specialist and when I queried why he no longer played he said the veins in his neck just popped one day and I almost fainted on him.
Maynard's clip at 3:00 reminds me of one not here: a song called "Maynard Ferguson", where he does a few octave jumps to a triple C . . . then goes to the F above that. The song ends with him holding a triple D for a while.
I heard someone say once “what is the point of playing so high” and someone replied “bragging rights”😂😂
Best comeback I ever heard was Miles Davis bragging about how he could play anything Dizzy Gillespie could.
Dizz said yeah,but at an octave lower.
True
It’s all about the bragging rights
Yeah

You can actually play a third or so lower than the normal lowest note without extensions by playing resultant notes (I think it’s called) which basically is playing a specific multi phonic so perfectly that you end up getting a low note.

He was killed in a car accident only a couple weeks after he graduated from high school. I will always remember that piece (Get it On), it's composer (Bill Chase), my first exposure to rare extended rangeplaying (screech trumpet), and my friend Kevin who introduced it to me the first time I ever played fun music rather than classical. RIP and rock on BC and KM. It's time to head into my lair now ---- my home studio. It's time to grab my guitar and..... GET IT ON!!!
This is my 10th time watching and it's still fresh
I love how almost every other one is Joshua Gawel. Lucky Chops is always just so amazing to watch.
Thank you, Dr. Maggio!
Listen to Bud Brisbois or Cat Anderson, they where the masters of the extreme upper register.
Erik Veldkamp, u sir are a king of kings in my book. The very fact that you have transcribed some of the most iconic players to ever touch the horn, then "took it up an octave" when u transcribed Fats, my all time favorite trumpeter, then ur latest of his disciple Brownie, to me, u've transcended everyone else on the scene. Please keep doing what you do because it is essential!!!
Maynard Ferguson too.
Jon Faddis is crazy too
Cat was the first one.
strobx1 For sure! Without Cat, folks wouldn't know the high range possibilities & creativity to go by🎺💯
0:22 That cheeky wink though
On longer recordings, you'll hear the crowd cheer after he did it. It was hilarious!
Ayy! Haven't been around any brass for years and was still able to predict/hear the correct note in my head before playing the video! Nice
This was GREAT . My husband played GREAT also . Brought back like a wave of good memories. ....
**laughs in sax, only having to touch buttons to go high**
Gotta give it to Louis Dowdeswell, by far the most clear, relaxed and musical high notes I've heard!
Jonathan Petersson Louis and Josh Gawel are tied in my opinion. They both do it so effortlessly
0:51 Felt so relaxed
These videos inspire me to practice more and increase my range
This window cleaning montage is hype
"Wait so the range is not limited by the instrument like a string instrument?"
"Never has been"
Nobody:
The fly in my ear when I’m trying to sleep:
You can just tell by how some have different styles,and some go flat and a little sharp,really hard to control but fun to play
I'm a tuba player but every single time I hear a trumpet scream I get chills
Wow! i watched most of these clips but man.. i didn't know that you can go that high... Amazing
I love Screech trumpet and could listen to them all day everyday. Of course i play piccolo and my notes go way high and ive blown my lips a few times!
ive been playing trumpet on and off for the past few years, only started seriously playing like two years ago and i got braces a year ago, watching this is super fun but also my face hurts just listening
I’d probably die trying to do this
You wouldn’t die, but with certain tension levels, your throat would feel like it would explode
Same, my tiny clairinet lungs couldn't take it
I spoke to a guy once who said he was an ex-high note specialist and when I queried why he no longer played he said the veins in his neck just popped one day and I almost fainted on him.
I love scv's 2018 show ty for putting it in
You know the highest trumpet note ever played was probably some random guy in his bedroom that went “huh, cool” after he did it.
3:58 the amount of control that takes is astonishing
0:19 He ended so majestically-
4:06 I thought my little shih tzu was barking downstairs
My mouth does these sounds everytime I hit my toe with lego
I was not expecting lucky chops at the beginning and I’m not disappointed
Comments: "flutes: everyday. Piccolo: ha."
Me, a pianist: *smirks*
Exactly
@@Him_1 piano is for weak people... so...
Most awesome unreal talent
4:08 the chihuahua when you step on its tail.
Regardless of tonal quality, that's impressive.
And I’m over here at my highschool thinking I’m hot crap as a freshman because I hit the high high c on the national anthem 1st try
Maynard's clip at 3:00 reminds me of one not here: a song called "Maynard Ferguson", where he does a few octave jumps to a triple C . . . then goes to the F above that. The song ends with him holding a triple D for a while.
second clip is so iconic i feel like i’ve seen it so many times
Joshua Gawel is the best trumpet player ever. Can't change my mind.
scott dean and javier have it for me
Thomas gansch
@@thrxwolf7039 Gansch is also pretty awesome! I love Mnozil Brass🤘
Andreas Huber I do too! As a tuba player though, my favorite member is wilfried. Glad someone else knows mnozil brass
@@thrxwolf7039 My favorite member is Leonhard. Just because of his outstanding acting😆 Like in Lonely Boy😆
