Hi all percussionists! (and anyone else!)
I have recently been given the go ahead to compose a piece for the schools brass and percusion section. This is full orchestral brass, and orchestral percusion - tuned and untuned. I wan't to create some unusual sounds, and was wandering if anyone could offer some advice and techniques that are effective - it would be great if they were infrequently used. Many thanks, Jon |

QUOTE(jonscott14 @ May 30 2007, 07:13 PM)  They do sound nice - just for that extra bit of sizzle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I've got all next week in school with no lessons - so im going to be able to get some people to come in a show me some things and have a good bach around in the percusion studio - should be fun! I'm very jealous of you getting to mess around with percussion for a week. I have most of next week free, but all the percussion is right next to where the exams take place, and I don't think people would appreciate the sound of my drumming in the middle of their exams! Good luck with finding loads of cool sounds, though. If you find an acme siren, you should use it - I love the things! |
