As a piper of twenty-four years, I want to say just how much I appreciate being able to HEAR the tenor drums! So often, they're drowned out by the pipes and side drums.
Viele Tenors hauen gar nicht auf die Felle sondern wedeln nur und spielen ansonsten nicht mit. Woher dieser Unfug kommt weiß ich nicht. Ich liebe das Zusammenspiel von Tenor, Bass und der Musik der Pipes.
I laughed at the dancing bear comment as I could see yogi bear playing the part. However ,allowing for a tight musical performance in part due to the rocking out by the bear. Great tenor drumming. I love this piece.
I remember playing my home on tenor in a 6/8 competition and it felt like FOREVER because we played the whole thing. It’s hilarious to watch this pipe band play itchy fingers after.
effing amazing.. can only hope to be this good of a piper one day. you guys rock! how could you even think of halting your drones and then striking in at the very end.. i'm in awe. fantastic!
Anyone interested in learning this set, I would recommend getting the bagpipe player from the scottish piper club website and also downloading the tunes. It takes some getting used to but the program is a nice asset in learning new tunes and in getting your timing down correctly.
Overall a great job, Itchy Fingers and Clumsy Lover are hard enough tunes to play correctly for a solo-piper yet you guys played this as a band and it sounded good, tempo was excellent, I feel sometimes pipers try to play itchy fingers and clumsy lover to fast and the quality of the tunes suffer, I'd love to hear your band playing it again as I am sure you are probably nailing it by now, thanks, post again
Very nice set of tunes! Great tempo and the DM looks very professional. I think the mid-section did an awesome job of mixing rhythm and flourishing and overall the sound was nice. Can't wait to see you guys in Maxville (and the Montreal beer tent of course) next year.
who cares if bass drummer moves around so long as he keeps the timing of the band together and what the hell he's fookin enjoying himself....shouldnt it be fun????? itchy fingers is a real foot tapper and hes obviously is enjoying whats he doing..great rendition and tight close piping embelishments look good too well done faugh a ballagh...
to be fair dragging slightly due to the limitations of the band, your only as good as your weekest player, blowing a unsteady and you're sound very thin, could do with stronger blowers to give more depth ? "love the bass section"
