Can you do a video explaining what role tenors play in the music? I play in a pipe band and our tenors all play one drum tuned to the notes on the bag pipes. They also twirl their sticks a lot. Im Canadian and we don’t have the same marching band culture, so these huh pitched tenors playing crazy fast runs all over the place are a bit alien.
Drum 4: D very slightly flat Drum 3: F# very slightly flat Drum 2: G# very slightly flat Drum 1: C very slightly flat Low Spock: E half sharp High Spock: Bb slightly flat If these notes were not “slightly flat” and the E half sharp was just an E, you would have a saucy D9(b5,b13) which resolves quite nicely to G minor Also it should be noted that these were calculated through my phone speakers with my keyboard and I do not have perfect pitch. The people in the replies have found different pitches
You can record each drum and plot the spectrum in Audacity which will show you the pitches. Not many people have perfect pitch, but everyone has machine pitch! #fastfouriertransform
I recently saw through Facebook that you just became an official Mapex Artist and want to say that I was really hoping they would offer it to you, so congratulations and I'm sure you'll make the most out of it! As usual... MAXIMUM EFFORT! You rock and I really like everything you do!
Just wanna point out that tuning tenors with new heads is like tuning a guitar with new strings. It only stays in tune for like a minute and then it all goes to crap so yeah like Eric said noodle around and then tune a bunch lol
Awesome review! I have watched all your reviews. Mapex makes first class products as all the manufactures do. I personally prefer the sound of the Yamaha's the best. The tone and ring just to me sounds like what I remember from playing in high school......surprise they were yamahas....lol great vid!
Not criticizing your playing; you're actually tenor-god himself, but the tuning sequence overall is too low for those drums. Drum 4 especially isn't taking a good liking to being tuned that low. The California cut shells are just short enough that a tuning sequence this low doesn't resonate well. From working with Mapex lines for several years, my recommendation for drums with this depth and diameter: Drum 4: F# Drum 3: A Drum 2: B Drum 1: D Low Spock: F# High Spock: A#-D (preferably D, but to preserve head lifespan, an A# is the lowest I'd go) I also personally DESPISE pinstripes. I can truthfully say I've used and heard almost every marching head and I'd either use Remo emperor clears, or evans system blue tenor heads. As bad a wrap that system blue gets for everything, their marching heads are some of the overall best
@@TylerDunphy there's just no definition in the sound. They keep their tuning great, I'll give them that, but there's no definition in the sound of the drum, and they just sound kinda mushy and gross
@@jorjwosheengtin9612 I don't like them either. I use emperor clears for indoor and emperor renaissance outside. Renaissance sounds so good from the sideline.
@@jorjwosheengtin9612 huh, that’s odd, I’ve been tuning them for a long time and I’ve always loved the solid attack they give. Especially when you get them up to F Ab Bb Db or something around there. It also has an AMAZING spock sound. Like super great.
@@jorjwosheengtin9612 this is one of my favorite sound examples from the pinstripes on Yamaha ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yX0BkTFjPpk.html
Okay I tried my best here High Spock: Bb Low Spock: Gb Drum 1: Eb Drum 2: Bb (again) Drum 3: Gb (again) Drum 4: Eb (again) Again, tried my best sorry if it's wrong
OK. Here are your notes. I do have perfect pitch, so please like this coment so people hopefully see this. Spock 2 g 4 very sharp, spock 1 f 4 very sharp, drum 1 c very sharp, drum 2 b very flat, drum 3 b very flat, and drum 4 g slightly flat. Yeah drum 2 and 3 sound almost exactly the same. You may want to change that for your set of tenors.
You should really consider becoming a highschool marching band director. You and your band would rack people over the coals if you did competitions. Also you are very much over qualified for it to.
Day 11 of begging you to make a long vid with tons of ads so I can watch it and get you moneeeeee P.S. if you agree with me, begggg with me on all of his videos. Thanks!
How do you tune these drums or where can I take them to get tuned. I’m getting this as a gift to my daughter but she is just beginning to learn to use these as she’ll be in drinking next year for school. I wanted to get her own
Very cool stuff! Could you do a video on where to get your first marching drums? I heard rumor that corps sell their used drums somewhere but never learned where. Like what are good starter drums for corps or individuals?
5:03 in my band there is only two tenor drums and one if them is perfectly fine and the other one goes all the way up to your chest and is falling appart and i have to play it like this
