FULL Chicago The Musical Drum Set Cam - ACT 1

[@actorsnonactors]

There's no virtual orchestra on this? Tap track? Those trumpets sound so clean...and this is a high school production! Well done.

[@jacobwbauman]

Thanks a lot! It's all live. Every sound you hear is coming directly from the microphones and DI boxes.

[@jimjimjimjimjim]

Love the expression and fill at 28:51

[@Gapiro]

Loving that you have a tuba+bass doubler - almost unheard of (I'm a bass/double bass doubler doing Chicago in december, if all goes to plan)

[@Nikola16789]

Is it wrong to enjoy watching orchestra more than watching performance on stage? :D

[@Gemashke]

Great playing, Sir!

[@pewpew4545]

Very Very helpful, As someone who hasn't done any musical drumming before this video is a great aide to the manuscript which is for no apparent reason written in drum Greek...

[@jacobwbauman]

Glad I could help! You'll get alot of scores with confusing notation, I usually listen to the cast album to try hear whats going on.

[@Jack-pm2fg]

Great drumming! Could you share any of the sheet music?

[@Gapiro]

It's available from reddit if you look hard enough.

[@jacobwbauman]

Ya, all of my music is marked up and is not in a PDF format. Sorry.

[@leejmusic9321]

Such an inspiration

[@ZacBrzuchalski]

Why didn't Mary Sunshine perform A Little Bit Of Good (it's in between All I Care About and Both Reach Fore The Gun)?

[@felipegrandigerlach3224]

Hey mate, great job! Im looking for some charts from the show, but I just can't find it online. Would you kindly share with me? Cheers from Germany

[@cruisindownthestreetinmy6490]

you'll probably have to pay for them

[@그래요난-g9y]

i love your drum! how long did you play drum?

[@alveydoug]

Dang, I miss “The Pits”!

[@adamh951]

How am I just finding this man!! How do I record something like this for my upcoming performance of SpongeBob the musical

[@jacobwbauman]

Hey man, thanks for watching! Send me a dm on Instagram and we can keep talking about it.

@Adam H Did you ever make a video for SpongeBob?

[@adamh951]

@@johneidson2905 unfortunately not. I wish though

Playing drums on this show in about a month, any tips?

[@matthewcline8580]

Is this the high school version of the show? I see that your sheets aren't handwritten like the Broadway copies. I'm also assuming someone else is doubling on aux percussion parts? do they have their own band part, or are you reading from the same chart?

[@jacobwbauman]

Yes, this was the high school version. The aux percussion player is however reading off my chart and I am filling in some of the spots that were written for just percussion.

[@matthewcline8580]

@@jacobwbauman Thanks so much for the reply! I might be conducting this show soon, so every bit of information helps!

[@jacobwbauman]

@@matthewcline8580 Sure thing! Let me know if you need any more information

[@matthewcline8580]

@@jacobwbauman Hi Jacob, I've got another question: Can the drum part (including aux perc.) be played by only 1 player? I'm not sure how feasible it is for 1 player, especially with the glockenspiel parts. Also, did your high school have reed doublers that played all the wind instruments, or did multiple people share 1 reed book? thanks!

[@jacobwbauman]

@@matthewcline8580 Yes, the drum and aux part can be played by one player (and are actually in the same book) we just decided to split them up because we had the capacity to do so. (Most if not all of the stuff that I played in during the aux percussion parts was not notated in the score). We did also have reed doublers play the books for this production.

[@jackthebro6548]

How did you get that amazing sound on the rack and floor tom?

[@jacobwbauman]

I’m glad you enjoyed the mix! 70% drums, heads, and tuning. 30% Mixing.

[@jackthebro6548]

@@jacobwbauman do you have any tuning or muffling quick tips?

[@jacobwbauman]

@@jackthebro6548 oh boy! 1. Muffle the drums to control the sustain not the tone. 2. Choose the correct drum sizes and heads for the style. (It is very hard to make a 13” rack tom sound like a 10” rack tom, and an 18” kick sound like a 22” kick) 3. Try tuning the toms to major intervals between each other and the snare to anything that is not an octave, P4 or P5 to the toms. (this will avoid some sympathetic buzz on the snare when playing the toms) 4. Tune with a mallet instead of sticks if possible so you can hear the fundamental note more clearly. Let me know if you have any more questions. Check out a KZbin channel called Sounds Like A Drum, they have some great tips on all things drum related!

[@jonnyc7259]

That's one lovely sounding kit! What is it?!

[@jacobwbauman]

It is a Sonor Force 2007 kit, the rest of the specs are in the description.

[@doctorwill3504]

How come you wear headphones, too loud?

[@bluejay9638]

Pit musicians will commonly wear headphones for click tracks (metronomes) and for cues

[@tomaswagenaar7200]

Which production is this?

[@jacobwbauman]

Tomas Wagenaar this is a show that I did as a senior at Adlai E. Stevenson Highschool in Lincolnshire IL.
