Les Mis Percussion Cam 1

[@bencarter8324]

I played percussion for les mis for my high school. I have never appreciated percussion more

[@isaacsampson8152]

Lol I feel you

[@haydenthompson8242]

What a beast! Musical Theater gigs gotta be fun.

[@rmpercussion]

Thanks so much Hayden Thompson!

[@shiningarmor2838]

Accurate representation of the minimum number of toms I want on my drumset

[@Gemashke]

Ha ha!!!

[@vicentehizon6202]

Hahaha

[@KevinLynchMusic]

God I loved conducting this show!

[@dukeofrodtown1705]

Well done Kevin, Ryan, orchestra, and company!

[@sausgunstarzeroes]

This is absolutely brilliant. I could watch this all day. Currently rehearsing the kit part for a school show that starts in a few weeks.

[@rmpercussion]

Papa Zitas Thanks so much! Best of luck with your show! Have a great run!

[@PedroPetracco]

That tambourine sounds amazing!

[@michaelhope8899]

Dude! Theatre gigs are a blast

[@gsche]

God, I miss the pit (I had to stop playing because of college). Great video! Also, your Thenardier was amazing

[@KevinLynchMusic]

His name is Scott Baird! Great performer

[@TheHellpoy]

That snare sounds heavenly

[@rmpercussion]

TheHellpoy thanks so much! It’s one of my favourites! :) Yamaha brass 13x6.5

[@7531PETER]

Awesome, do have any more video of playing in the pit for musicals???

[@rmpercussion]

Peter Kaufinger Hey There! Thanks so much for checking out the video. Yeah I have a few other videos from different productions on my channel (kzbin.infovideos) Feel free to check them out! Thanks so much again for watching!

[@7531PETER]

Ryan McCausland Awesome, way ahead of you =P

[@ElliotWallace]

Sounds great...yeah saw post below about instrumentation. Looks like you made the right choices for substitutions. (I mean...5 roto toms????...maybe someday)

[@JMRSplatt]

Oui.

[@mil0931]

It's crazy how you can see audience in the first row

[@Pahhu]

That looks like so much fun. I'm jealous.

[@plishaedavis1591]

You did great with the rototom

[@FlowersInHisHair]

Really nicely played! Looks like you're having a good time too.

[@dazzduo]

Great Job! I am a percussionist as well, but sadly, i am not into Musical Business. Do you have to own all the stuff you play as a musical percussionist (without tubular bells or something like that)?

[@rmpercussion]

FunnyVideos Thanks so much! It depends on the production. For this show all the equipment was mine with the exception of the timpani which the theatre was kind enough to lend us.

[@YuDrumOfficial]

Awesome playing on the percussions. Subscribed

[@Aguiar412]

MASTER OF THE HOUSE

[@isabelahart9377]

Gosh that’s stressful

[@amfwelsh]

Mannn you are superb

[@rmpercussion]

Ex trucker Ant haha thank you so much!! you are far too kind! :)

[@joshuaogawa5705]

your brake drum is so nice! We've got several of the old crusty ones

[@rmpercussion]

Joshua Ogawa thanks Joshua! I think that might be a Weiss brand anvil.

[@PaddehTeeeVeee]

Which tambourine were you using? Black swamp tc2..? It sounded amazing!

[@rmpercussion]

PaddehTeeeVeee Hey there! Thanks so much! That's a Black Swamp 10" TD3

[@pedromelgarracine5068]

I really enjoyed it, what's the thing you enjoy the most when it comes to be a percusionist and not a drummer only? Is it easier once you know how to read music and have a wide rudimental knowledge?

[@NickJay]

Fascinating watching you, Ryan. When you first had it recorded, presumably it recorded the whole performance so is there any more of this please? Preferably ALL of it. :P :D

[@rmpercussion]

Nick Jay Hey-Thank you so much Nick! When I originally posted I had intended to upload another video or two but the materials were deleted off my old computer by mistake and this is all that I have from the performance.

[@NickJay]

@@rmpercussion You're very welcome and what a shame about the other materials but never mind, thankful for small mercies huh? At least this survived, thankfully. :)

[@isaacsampson8152]

Man! 3 toms , 2 floor toms , 2 snares, 3 Rolo drums, 3 timpani’s , 3 crashes , 2 china’s , 1 splash , a six pad electric percussion, 1 tambourine, a laptop and 8 channel interface , you probably use Ableton , a midi keyboard , 1 or 2 percussion blocks 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@isaacsampson8152]

You must’ve drove a Uhaul to that gig smh , but that’s dope!!

[@plishaedavis1591]

Your the next band board for Chuck E. Cheese

[@plishaedavis1591]

And the tin can, cool

[@tomski_w]

[@DaiG100]

Hi Ryan, nicely played! I dont suppose you had a copy (PDF) of the pad by any chance? I may need in a few months.... cheers

[@rmpercussion]

[@Wizerslapski]

I know a guy that used to work on the crew here. this is so cool!

[@tomsouzas]

[@jcits2856]

the conductor looks like kevin lynch...

[@rmpercussion]

It is in fact the very same

[@patrickgomes2213]

I was about to comment the same thing!

[@KevinLynchMusic]

It is indeed I !

[@matteusan]

Did Kevin Lynch conduct this?

[@rmpercussion]

Yes

[@KevinLynchMusic]

You bet

[@bethan2600]

Got he titles of both wrong :((

[@rmpercussion]

Bethan Moran-I’m deeply sorry

[@rmpercussion]

That’s how they are written in the book. You wouldn’t t know unless you’ve played it

[@bethan2600]

Ryan McCausland omg no don’t worry! You’re very talented :))

[@nonchalantree6604]

I own that keyboard model lol

[@WaySub949]

Home Wild what model is it?

[@jamiewoodforddrums]

how did you manage to have the new orchestrations for the school one?

[@rmpercussion]

Hey Jamie. Although this was a youth theatre production I believe the MPAC licensed the full show not the school version. I believe the orchestration was listed as the uk tour orchestration.

[@michaelwilliamybarra2409]

This is very interesting. Could you relay, if you can, each instrument you performed? Or at least: 1. What did you have to play on the keyboard on the right? 2. What drums were you playing during the "Confrontation" portion of this video, especially the the two you played together? 3. What kind of Cymbal did you hit during "Confrontation" as well as the gong at the end? and 4. What were you playing between 3:54 and 3:57? Than you, you sounded Great! :D

[@rmpercussion]

Hey Michael-i honestly can't remember every instrument and I unfortunately don't have it in front of me now but I can try to answer your questions best I can from memory. 1. The Keyboard was used as a substitute for instruments that I didn't own such as a glockenspiel, crotales, tubular bells. The Roland Spdsx pad on the right was also utilised for the same purpose substituting Concert Bass Drum, Tam Tam, and Bell Tree. The keyboard was connected to a MacBook running main stage which provided the sounds. 2. Those were just Tom toms and Roto toms. The book calls for five of each but I only had access to 3 rotos 3. That is just a china cymbal. The book calls for a tam tam swell but since the tam tam was a triggered patch that couldn't be manipulated in real time I added to China cymbal swell to imitate the effect. 4. I believe that was either the tin can or the ratchet. Thanks so much for watching!!
