What impresses me more is how humble he is 😊🎺

[@kellytorres51]

Wayne Bergeron has THE commercial trumpet sound.

[@benlove6978]

Finally! A lead player admits that you move the horn during a shake! Been told in the past not to do that and I always reference a video of Buddy Rich Big Band playing Basically Blues. The whole trumpet section's bells are moving 4-5" on the shakes in the shout section. Thank you, Wayne!

[@trumpetplayerdude9838]

Ben Love you can definitely do it without shaking, although I recommend shaking it to make it sound more musical and wild

[@justinsee3946]

Agreed, I think it's important to be able to do it without, but it sounds so much better when you do!

[@xthatghomiex2939]

Moving the instrument while doing one is more oldschool and is hard on your face, so it's more common for people now to just use their dexterity.

[@datGuy0309]

I’ve heard people differentiate between a shake and a lip trill. It’s pretty self explanatory, a shake is where you shake it, and a lip trill is where you just use your dexterity. The shake sounds a lot rougher than a shake, where the lip trill sounds smoother

[@peterfeltham5612]

Wayne,your 56yrs and no grey hairs,what kind of a lead trumpet are you.

[@nemo227]

Thanks, this 82 year old is still laughing.

[@matteowatteo1296]

Stan Mark. If you can play lead on an MF book of music night in and night out, total respect. Stan was a pure lead man. Wayne you are amazing. Great lead man, technically flawless, studio stud and a decent soloist. Love your stuff.

[@bradleythekid]

This would have been an awesome video for me 20 years ago when I had to scrounge a pre-Internet world for all this information.

[@candidx7057]

My gratitude to my teacher, Lee Cappiello, who taught me to shake 60 years ago, upon my request. Thanks for this video and the memories.

[@richardgordon8110]

Wayne you are the epitomy of the lead trumpeter. Love your work.

[@garzaedu]

Man, I could've used this back in the day.

[@tooter1able]

A talented, gifted, inspiring humble cat!

[@bwanabass]

I just ordered this from Amazon and can't wait to get it. My main trumpet gig at the moment is playing lead in a 10-piece funk/R&B band, and I really look up to Mr. Bergeron as an artist and for his sound concept. I am looking forward to learning more.

[@austinbenesh1193]

Nice video. Totally agree that you have to keep at it! I'm not a professional but I still work very hard and study every week.

[@darrenmilligan-vn8qq]

My middle school band teacher played with this trumpet player in high school

[@miguelangelp1475]

excelente, súper sonido.

[@nemo227]

What the hell, I think I just learned something . . . unintentionally. It didn't hurt a bit.

[@jorgecallico9177]

I like these kinds of videos. However we mere mortals need to understand that Wayne has always had a gifted embouchure. That according to respected sources he was blowing respectable double C's within his first couple weeks after starting on the horn. While he was justva kid! Now some of we fellow mortals can develop similar chops. However we may or must search for a "system" which works for us. In Wayne's case he appears to me to be a classic "Stevens-Costello" chop setting. This is a forward jaw embouchure and one typically noted for great ease of playing along with unlimited range. The Stevens-Costello "Triple C Embouchure Technique" system has recently come back into print. However it may not work well for you. I've worked through that system three times but only after tweaking it a bit last December did it start to work. Im very grateful to FINALLY get on the right track. However all of this material is stuff I coud never have found from a teacher. Unlike what Wayne espouses.

[@alexandruurdnaxela2881]

So nice !!❤

[@jean-pierredevent970]

He plays all alone and so it's easy to judge his tone which is so stunningly nice that any pro classical trumpeter would be impressed. There are too many vids on youtube where they show off their high register but the tone is ugly.

[@teddymanrique5759]

What’s the song that starts at 2:57?

[@diontegrinstead77]

What song is he playing in the beginning

[@evanrondinelli2008]

That's how we roll by Gordon Goodwin

[@andersonkimura2243]

Seria ótimo se fosse legendado em português (Brasileiro)

[@eddievelez4723]

I bought a used silver Yamaha custom series 8335la In silver for $570 and I still can’t believe it.

[@nathanielwilliford2589]

Dudeeeeee how?!?

[@eddievelez4723]

Nate The Jazz man it’s a trumpet that you can just buy and I got it used off of a senior for 570.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

He doesn't some decent and on point demonstrations!🎺

MrCatCat Thank you !

[@d4rk1ze95]

@@marcushicks9463 It was their first track on their album “That’s How We Roll”

[@Leek-Productions]

What mouthpiece he played on

[@invinsobill5847]

L33k Nation I don't know exactly which one, but I'm pretty sure it is one of his own custom mouthpieces. It's either the GR STUDIO or the GR classic.

[@Leek-Productions]

Invinso Bill ok thanks

[@user-oc2by1bw3g]

L33k Nation 3c

[@ColinMroczko]

1. 1. No he doesn’t use a 3c. He uses his own custom mouthpieces.

[@franklee1550]

I thought most trumpets were made of brass. A lead one must be heavy and make lead poisoning a problem.

[@Peppa_pig-lc5ny]

which trumpet he use?

[@tjp1451]

Bb

[@Miyamotospoop13]

yamaha xeno

[@AL-ov9wx]

Mr. Trumpetist kolin it's a Yamaha that was designed for him. It's called an 8335LA

[@scottlivezey9479]

He continues the same pattern of every successful non-orchestral lead trumpet player I’ve come across: piano amplitude to him is forte or fortissimo amplitude to most players......and proceeds to raise the amplitude from there as he chooses. It took a lot of practice & effort to build up to reaching that top tier. But it’s as if all successful lead players became near deaf along the way. 😂

[@Trumpet333srh333]

Plus my man has more actual kills, legally
