Yo

[@tristanperciful6609]

​@Osteo Striga this is why you're still in my vault

[@KirizenStudios]

You're starting to get super close to 50k. Can't wait to celebrate. These grooves are getting so much more interesting. Kinda gives an Arabian desert vibe. Very cool.

[@oliparker]

yeah it's not too far away! Glad you like this, yeah was going for a midnight desert and camels kinda vibe haha

[@rylankahle1095]

thats exactly what I was thinking the whole time. and it was ver good

[@thenelsonbruhs722]

kinda? Nah this was 100% intended to feel that way

[@ILoveDrummingAndYourMom]

7/8 goes so hard, it just messes with my brain too much😂

[@oliparker]

yeah it can get a bit confusing at times! Really fun to play though

[@JustiaFiat]

It's easy if you know how to count it. Think of the 'zwiefacher' a Folksong Style consisting of 2 rapidly switching time signatures (mostly 2/4 and 3/4 or 3/4 and 4/4). Here it's 2/4 and 3/8 switching rapidly. So you Always Count 1.2.123 1.2.123

[@elikemlee5679]

This makes more sense than 5/8.. 5/8 always kills my brain😂😂

[@chloex7399]

I get blown away by every track. Came here from George Collier a few months ago, stayed for the insane solos

[@nico_csp6872]

same 🤩

[@WiddleFiddle]

*channels the power of Ra while sliding down a pyrimid*

[@brucek6563]

Awesome!! 7/8 and 5/8 are not easy to play in. That was so smooth!!!

[@Davkas]

Man, I could listen to this for hours! Can't wait to hear a full version of this, it's so good! Excellent work as always, dude!

[@oliparker]

appreciate it :)

[@maddino.o397]

Is this coming to spotify or other platforms? I love it :)

[@oliparker]

@@maddino.o397 yes! Might be a little while though

[@sobachiyac]

7-8

[@mores172]

Или 5-6

[@PiotrBarcz]

Man, I really hope you pull out some cool old jazz tunes from the 30s, your smooth flugel playing would work so well on them!

[@thezebiano]

Sick! Especially that 4/4 and then 6/4 part, sounded very proggy. Dope.

[@bradycampbell5135]

Bro this sounds like it could be in a drum corps show. Love the vibe

[@n4gol]

My school’s marching band had an egyptian themed show last year with 7/4 groves. It was really sweet

[@GeorgeCollier]

Babylon

[@toucap]

Carolina Crown 2019's great to check out if you'd like to see this sort of style in a drum crops show!

[@V15lol]

It sounds like spices toxins and perfumes, which was used in quite a few shows this year (wakeland & carroll senior)

[@echonox31]

My first thought when hearing this was Bluecoat's 2017 show. Sounds a little like Psychopomp

[@817slbav]

Awesome! As a trumpet player I can say they you have mad talent!

[@lucky115_5]

We need a full version ASAP

[@hunterbaker1228]

I think this is your hardest track yet. I will surely listen to it about 30 times in the next day.🔥

[@SeedRamples]

The start sounds like a DCI solo with that percussion section laying down the feel behind you! If you went sky high in the end of the solo I'd have thought you ripped this straight from one of the Scheherazades or something!

[@lw_official4689]

Giving hard DCI vibes

[@fitchyyboi]

Word as hell

[@class7404]

Colts 2022, Silk Road vibes for sure

[@robinhood463]

Wunderschön ❤

[@marshalmcdonald7476]

7/8 grooves are indeed on another level....so is Oli Parker.

[@tinoavila4958]

Very very cool! I can't wait for the full version!

[@mmbcproductions3340]

I really like well executed 7/8 and 7/4 signatures, and this is definitely one of them

[@rendragyn]

wow! talk about difficult time signatures!

[@awesometurtle20]

nice vibesss I love this for some reason this got me thinking about dune

[@HolandaFilmes]

Each one of the 8th beats acts like a "reset" in my brain.

[@OssianEMills]

That high Bb was smooth!

[@LucBoeren]

Super dope❤

[@willemoosterom2438]

Hi Oli , from Holland, your trumpet playing skills are fantastic!!...but the music you have made is super, I dont know a better word for it. Thank you and please go on with surprising the world with these fantastic solo s.

[@eo123smusicstudio-hr7io]

I rate this song a 7 out of 8

[@accordv6er]

Added metal bass. Amazing. MJK would approve

[@rainychristmas]

GODDAMN BRUH THAT FUCKS HARD BRUH

[@Jan_Kitalon]

oh my life i love this. it's probably one of the bestest thingies i've seen all week aah

[@DJBlackNGold]

UUUUGH that was NASTY!! Keep up the great playing man!

[@franciscobranco4240]

Very fun sonority! Nice job! Can't wait to hear the whole thing

[@panpolypuff]

Flugel tone so smooth 😍

[@DanaTheLateBloomingFruitLoop]

It's so groovy it's making me move and giving me shivers.

[@fine8087]

Im amazed there isnt a comment saying it sounds egyptian... close one boys

[@onyxiris6451]

I fucking love this

[@OG_Mereles]

I thought this was a 'cover/transcription' and immediately went to the description to find the full version. Shame on me, man! I subbed as soon as I read this was an original composition. Gotta hear the rest of it. This is amazing.

[@sniper_37beard60]

This could easily be a Crown opener lol 😂

[@sock534]

nah this is sick as fuck dude please make a full track i will kiss you

[@vincentgraffeo9030]

Your playing is mind blowing.

[@lucasyoungers]

My favorite time signature!

[@luislasbelin]

Holy! That might be the best I've heard from you!!!

[@Agrivandal]

Ok this is so good

[@GiovanniTodaroLearnWith]

Very very good 🔥🔥🔥☄️☄️☄️

[@maxyeet]

Might be the best flugelhorn vid yet

[@JohnnyRose775]

Loving the middle eastern flavor

[@oliparker]

thanks! Really keen to get this one finished sometime soon

[@Jonowright]

amazing!

[@ЧувакИзКосмоса]

Das ist insane!!!

[@Whynot402]

Another video, yay.

[@KleberebelK18]

Congrats! Keep on doing the good job.

[@The_Grim_Rabbit]

it's got an "Axplorer/Archeologist traveling to meet the boss of a jungle militia" vibe.

[@razniklipove]

Slavi Trifonov and Ku-ku band type beat (just some Bulgarian stuff 😃) 🔥🔥🔥

[@ChrisAndTheTrumpet]

what a fun meter! that was awesome!

[@trumpettradesman]

Good job

[@andreadurbano3938]

Wow! Amazing as always... But this is the best track so far.

[@anactualhumanbeing9493]

Colts 2022 ahh groove 💀

[@BrassMan4310]

Teach me your ways!

[@kildeer1897]

You are incredible!

[@marciobarros9973]

You are so amazing

[@oculaliudinoskov8999]

[@Jaywitz]

bro i would love to take lessons from you. There are so many things I want to be able to do, but I can't and I have no direction on how to achieve these goals

[@oliparker]

send me an email and we can discuss lessons :) - email link in the 'about' area

[@KristoferPettersson]

That was beautiful!

[@samuel_piper23]

This is so sick dude

[@user-pg8rl6lu1t]

I really like it when you play the trumpet. Very good accent

[@oliparker]

thanks for listening 🎺

[@IvanIvanov-uw9rw]

7/8 is Balkan and especially Bulgarian folk music ❤

[@HellFire-1017]

Damn Oli let me catch up ! Save some talent for the rest of us.

[@manmusicmichael1728]

Que monstruoso ese sonido brother felicitaciones 🤜🤛😎

[@noobifieduwu]

This takes me to Egypt(Who agrees?)

[@Fabio-wc6rv]

Top

[@UltraMaXAtAXX]

Almost sounds like a John Mackey piece.

[@fitchyyboi]

a tad yeah, I was thinking more DCI type vibe

[@DJ_Pavka]

If you want to hear grooves like 5/8,7/8 or 9/8, you should listen to some Bulgarian folk music

[@Anteater01]

Camera pans to desert scene, a camel in the background, a lady in hijab appears

[@rafalkosela7602]

Fantastisch 👏👏

[@cc-ki8lz]

Nefesinize emeğinize sağlık maestro

[@dharvashah8111]

Feels like indiana jones in the desert worthy soundtrack

[@theatom.9283]

Need to find a composer to put this in an Arabian style song

[@TGKRoman]

Uncharted vibes

[@91825]

7-8 так называемая одежда

[@Adamada11117]

И все пошли проверять

[@denapovictor2564]

Nice 👏 👏

[@Ermactually10]

Im playing a song in band, its called bazaar. Absolutely amazing.

[@Phil_529]

Nice one and I can't wait for your version of Havana! Got a piece you'll probably enjoy. Yanni - Dance With a Stranger . There's a live version on KZbin with some phenomenal Flugelhorn playing. Cheers.

[@DanielVargaTrombone]

What flugelhorn do you play on? Is that a Yamaha? Which brand would you personally recommend? Awesome solo btw!

[@criptidfaye]

big sumeru vibes

[@xukiomi]

Sumeru battle music :O

[@clarencelucas1256]

dont know if youre british but awesome video

[@augment3d6ixth97]

Please release an album.

[@squidbluie6813]

I bet some day you'll be the new Charlie Parker. (but for trumpet)

[@vibingpug9857]

This is really cool! Do you software for the background stuff?

[@yasefbey5695]

Darren Korb would like this if he listened it

[@fuckyeah7490]

very nice riff and lovely presentation!:) Trying to play it on flute, are the notes written incorrectly or am i just stupid?

[@antoine5165]

Hi from Belgium 🇧🇪

[@СергейКозявкин]

7-8 ?!??😳😳😳

[@Parabellum139]

7 8 одежда

[@shamslife9182]

We still are waiting for tutorials❤🤝

[@Daybydalife]

Please go research National Bulgarian Music. We dance traditional folklore on 7/8 also for some reason they call us the people who inherited Orpheus knowledge 🙃 music guys and Bulgars. Enjoy the vast variety of music melodies and rhythms from the source of all and you will understand what I'm talking about

[@christianletzerich6523]

What model of flugel are you using? It looks and sounds great! I was considering purchasing one myself and I was split between the Jean Paul FH-430 and the Yamaha yfh2310s

[@rezaime]

bro u r handsome and ur trumpet sounds handsome too

[@MYLENiummm]

Wonderful!! 😍😍😍 Is it possible to play the "trick" (from 1:19 to 1:23) on any other note of 2nd ocnave?🤔 E.g. re, re#, f, f#, g, g# etc.
