That transition into the Ozdust ballroom @ 6:50 is probably one of my favourite parts of the show. I remember seeing it as a teenager in 2009 and being blown away by all the lighting/staging paired with this music. I now work professionally in touring national musicals and frequently credit Wicked as the thing that sealed that fate! Great job on the drums here. So much energy which I can imagine is tricky with such a long project!
Perfect example of how a top notch percussionist is able to make the book come to life! I am sure he is using the drum parts as a rough guide as to what to play! Excellent work! Goes to show that you don't have to play timid in the pit and really project on your instrument!
you do the drum book justice. I love how you build off what Gary started with. I've seen other videos of west end and touring wicked drummers and they have no chance against you. keep up the awesome work.
The added wah-wah and electric is so super cool. I never heard that before. I remember hearing no one mourn the wicked with congas. Ir was soooooo awesome
This is absolutely amazing! I know this song like the back of my hand and seeing all of the nuance and artistry you put into the performance is breathtaking! Thank you so much for sharing this!!!!
I love videos like this! I'm an actress (and musician in my spare time) but I absolutely orgasm during sitzprobes, just such a joy seeing all the musicians in their elements playing their instruments! ❤️ This was dope man! Keep up the amazing work!!!
It's a drum lite 'DRY' mix from our monitor Avioms and I have a sony stereo mic plugged into the GoPro to record the drums in the room. I mixed the drums a little louder from the GoPro feed into the Aviom mix. No processing was done on either.
@@mrmakaitv The orchestratations for the touring version of the show are slightly different than those used on Broadway and the cast album.. There might be different chordsor effect's that have been included for the touring version.. Heck,the actual Broadway ones themselves werent really Locked in til 2008..
***** Yes I have a section of it up on my website on the opening page. There's a link to a Pearl Drum news feature that has a medley of tracks from the pit at Wicked LA. pearldrum.com/news-events/artist-news/under-the-stage-with-wicked’s-chris-jago
This is the Los Angeles Production....I believe it ran for over two years at the Pantages Theatre, so after that long these kind of charts get devoted to the memories of great drummers like Chris.
This isn't the Los Angeles production you're thinking about. This video features the First National Tour company in their final weeks at the Pantages. You're referring to the sit-down production that ran from 2007-2009.
