A bit of fun for Saturday night. To complete my percussion week I am rolling out the big guns – and I mean really – big guns. It is, I guess debatable whether guns count as percussion, but in all the performances I have been involved with “cannons” its been the percussion section’s task to coordinate them – never with guns quite this big though!!
Percussion
Not The Original Instrument
I know you are all thinking that I can’t possibly continue the percussion theme into the “smooth and gentle” episode that is Friday. Well try this one…..
Tiny Blue Man Desk!
Just going to get this in today – for most I guess you won’t see it until tomorrow!! Better late than never as they say.
A Legend
We continue the percussion season – after yesterday’s “precision” today we have something VERY different – but equally impressive in its own way.
Not Much of a Secret
More drums – its hard to imagine that anybody has never come across this particular group – so this will probably not come as a surprise. The precision in their routines is quite fantastic.
Its a Real Blast
Following on from the fact that yesterday’s music featured the percussion section it seems like a good idea to have a few more – haven’t done a “percussion season” yet in these shares.
Is It Raining
One further share from the video of the Bands visit to Jönköping in 1990. Before sharing a wee story about this one I must credit my younger daughter, Alice, for doing such a good job of getting the video from VHS to mp4 (don’t want to get told off like last week 😉)
This is How To Play the Cymbals
A bonus share tonight – specially for all percussionists who feel that they spend a lot of time doing nothing!!
Relaxing Percussion
Anyone who has followed my posts will know that Friday is a day for calming music and so they may be surprised that this video is percussion!! 😲 Rumour has it that not everyone finds the percussion section calming 😂
A Vienna Memory
OK – so I am pretty sure that there will be only a limited audience who appreciates today’s choice – but it is another one of those pieces of music that takes me back to a specific time/place.
