Ben van Dijk - basstrombone "Devil's Waltz by Steven Verhelst"

[@noahbrooks8405]

I believe the cut to Ben staring at us at 1:05 was a much needed addition!

Love this! Such a fat juicy bass trombone tone! Love the waltz aspect of it and the intensity! Also, the inclusion of the alex ross joker and harley was a great touch! Really fits the tone! Been coming back to this for years! 😅😎🥹👍🏻🫡

Believe it or not, I prefer this "low fidelity" home production over the high quality pro recording of Martin and Tomer. No other bass trombonist has such a great warm tone, sounding so relaxed and easy going even in the most difficult parts. It's not only the german-style Thein trombone that certainly has it's part in getting this sound, it's mostly Ben himself. Buying this really beautyiful trombone does not make you automatically sound like Ben. Some years ago, I tried his trombone model myself. For me as amateur it was much too heavy and very hard to play. Not blaming the trombone but the player. I'm glad I already found my light-weight Lätzsch Cieslik before, much lighter in weight and much easier to play for me - but going into the same direction sound wise.

This is the kind of sound that my section and I dream of one day achieving. I have shown this video to them and we agree that Ben van Dijk has a magnificent sound. Know that we were all inspired by it ^.^

[@FanTrombone]

Wow Ben!!!! I could "feel" what you where playing, thusly you have successfully added another dimension to the art of Bass Trombonist.

[@williampenley1260]

I was listening to this while studying, but after the first time listening to it, I was hooked and now I'm on my 4th loop. Great job!

[@tuckershowkeir7536]

you sound truly magnificent. the passion behind this dark masterpiece is evident. i love this.

[@edsherrod5216]

[@joshmoorash4927]

How do you get such clarity in your notes

[@philliprios8447]

Practice ;)

[@education7694]

I actually really prefer this sound over the echos that you hear when they're on the big stage

[@isaac_tuba]

How can I get a Thein instrument in the US?

[@GameConnoisseur69]

You're so fucking great I'm practicing every day so I can be as good as you one day.

[@iteinflammateomnia]

Were you playing the high part with a standard deep cup bass trombone mouthpiece? If so, you have amazing range.

[@Valitygames]

do you do any tutorings im willing to pay i really want to get better

[@countdracoo3018]

What kind of trombone do you use

[@BenBasstrombone]

Thein bass trombones, model Ben van Dijk:-))

[@dallaslong6390]

Ben, I've admired your playing and style for years. I love your sound. Did you use any kind of metronome for this? If not, your sense of pulse to lock in those different parts is unmatched!

[@lucaswade6415]

What mouthpiece do you use?

[@BenBasstrombone]

I play a Thein BM mouthpiece (gold plated)

[@whitecanvas6760]

The effect of the different parts being on being separate with headphones and such really messed me, good job playing, I think at some points it’s meant to be a bit slower, just a thought.

[@newt2835]

He makes really scary facial expressions on the low notes... it threw me off

[@WedenBike]

extremo

[@pedroslefteye8438]

The performance was decent, I PERSONALLY feel as though the tone quality on the lower register could have been fatter/had more depth, in my opinion almost all the notes sounded thin. Could be better but everything else was decent. Overall not bad
