In this video, I introduce the orchestral percussion section and discuss timbre, technique, mallets, and idiomatic writing for many of the standard orchestral percussion instruments. I've composed a few short examples of several of these instruments using sample libraries from Orchestral Tools.

Fantastic work Alex, I literally know nothing about percussion beyond the basics so it is great to have these descriptions with sound representations

@AlexHeppelmann 2 года назад

Good to hear. Yeah, I wanted to first make this introduction video introducing most of percussion instruments. Then down the road I'll talk about percussion writing and orchestrating.

@michellamontagne 2 года назад

Keep up the good work Alex always appreciated!

@AlexHeppelmann 2 года назад

Thanks!

@NeverduskX 2 года назад

Thank you for such a detailed breakdown on the different percussive instruments. I've always been impressed with how varied the section is, but it's apparently even more expansive than I was previously aware of. Though I've played with a few of these in sample instrument libraries, it was nice to learn exactly how they work and how some of them are related.

@AlexHeppelmann 2 года назад

I'm glad you liked it! I find that percussion can be the most overwhelming to write for because of the limitless possibilities

@henrik5284 2 года назад

I was hoping the video would show examples of how the various percussion instruments typically are used in an orchestral context. For example 3-5 different examples for the most common instruments taken from classical composers like Beethoven etc.

@AlexHeppelmann 2 года назад

I'll definitely make more videos on orchestral percussion soon. There's quite a bit that I didn't cover in this one!

@41Fingers 2 года назад

Great to have video's on percussion as there is a lack of good percussion tutorials imo.

@AlexHeppelmann 2 года назад

I'm glad you like it!

@rumar4u 2 года назад

Excellent video. I’ve always wondered why the keyboard (piano) falls into the percussion category.

@AlexHeppelmann 2 года назад

It's technically a percussion instrument (hammers striking strings instead of bowing or plucking), but I don't really consider it a member of the section, since orchestras always bring in a separate pianist to play piano parts instead of a percussionist

@rumar4u 2 года назад

@@AlexHeppelmann Totally understand it… In my opinion I would put the piano in a category of its own or with the Harp, as you can do sustains, shorts, rhythms, has the complete range, extensive dynamics (or velocities) etc… You can cover all the voicings with 1 Instrument… which makes it “unique”.
