Hello! This arrangement is fantastic! I have a clarinet choir and would love to play this! Can I purchase it from you directly or where can I find it? Thanks!

Very fine job Michael! Smokin!

Good lookin!!

My headcanon is that these 5 people threatened to beat each other to death over this solo, and this unison happened as a form of mediation

Love the color of the instrument keys

I played this piece on the bass clarinet in junior high during a Christmas concert and I have NEVER been more nervous in my life. I was only a second chair and not that good.

Thanks Michael. Chag Sameach. Chanukah. Bill. UK

I actually prefer the clarinet solo played with more members actually. Sounds really good.

Top da galáxias!

I’m trying to switch from tenor sax to bass clarinet in 7th grade but I am also marching

I love it Michael...beautiful! Barbara Rosen

Thank you Michael. All 3 are great. I personally I prefer the last 2. The Signature has raised tone holes. And as we know you have to try different reeds Enjoy your videos. God bless you and yours. Bill. UK. PS love you bass clarinet books! 🎶

In my opinion that "dubba dubba duhhh" part is the best part of the song, sounds so cool!!!

what sheet music did you use

I played the bass clarinet in high school and my mom made me practice outside!! I was only about 4' 9" tall at that time (1976) so I always had to stand to play it!! I loved it!! He plays it much better than I did though!!

The bass clarinet is such a gorgeous instrument, I’d love to learn it as a clarinet player

👍👍🏽

Great clarinet playing!

This guy is AWESOME! I really want to be really good at playing the Clarinet.

ate that up

That bass clarinet looks crazy! Do you have to use silver polish or something to keep the color on the keys the same or does it just stay like that? Awesome sound! Very jealous :D

How can I get this music?

Great video!

Swing could use work but sounds lovely

I hate how you get used to not having the melody but then you get a solo and everybody expects you to play🤣

Beautiful!

I love this arrangement!!! 👏🎼

I like it. Great job! I do I go about acquiring this arrangement?

Simply beautiful ! Thank You !

This is wonderful!! Can we buy the arrangement?

Epic!!!

I love it! Great job!

Absolutely brilliant. Mr. Drapkin is a fantastic musician. What a great, great, great clarinetist!

i’ve been playing bass clarinet for almost 4 years and never once have i thought about going back to clarinet lol. if you want to switch to bass i HIGHLY recommend it’s so fun and so pretty, we never really get melody tho so get ready for that

so mad! our arrangemt of nutcracket gives the solo to the basson! i was looking foward to this ! no one can hear our whimpy girl basson player anyway!

That was very good coming from a fellow bass clarinet player

I’m a trombone player but bass clarinet is so so cool respect to every bass clarinet player

I love the angle

In fifth grade my band director let me switch to bass clarinet and now I’m about to be 14 and I’ve never gone back. Im currently in marching band at my school and we’re about to go into concert season, but I will say that our parts are so much fun to play. Occasionally i’ll get that one song that just absolutely kills me bc of all the moving notes, but it is such a beautiful instrument and I encourage anyone who would like to to make the switch!

As a brass player, I've been obsessed with woodwinds lately I'm on clarinets right now and I just love how full and robust thr Bass Clarinet sounds, especially the low notes!

Me: *silently plays French horn*

mine is playing in every key going up chromatically from low E

Do u rlly need a neck strap to play clarinet? 🤨😒

Did I hear some of the Daphnis Et Chloé in there?

Bravo. 👏🏽😎

Bravissimo 👏🏽👏🏽🎅🏽

👏🏽🎅🏽

I’m the only bass clarinetist in my band but half the time I share my part with the baritone/trumpets or percussion. Sometimes sax lmao

I play bass clarinet and there’s only 2 of us and in 2nd chair 👉👈😅
