How to annoy the band director 101

Growl + Gliss = RACECAR NOISE

[@DarthKanye]

I love doing that

[@FeonaLeeJones]

Thanks! This was very helpful. It would be awesome to see how these are all typically notated.

I believe old time players called that "rink."

[@jazzbonept]

Excellent mix of accessible extended techniques, although the multi-phonics will take time. I always wondered if anyone knew who "invented" these techniques, or at least who made them popular on trombone.

Lol we have the same last name, play trombone and rn I’m trying to learn jazz on my own

[@duncanrobertson6472]

I love this stuff! Great video!

[@QuietHorn]

Albert Mangelsdorff was ridiculously fluent in his multiphonics to be sure, but the player with widest variety of extended techniques would have to be Paul Rutherford, RIP.

Wycliffe Gordon is also a good guy to listen to who explores unusual sounds on trombone.

[@yosevege4900]

[@theinterim]

He sounds like markiplier in a way

[@Lance101]

is it weird that I found all these techniques in my first year of band?

[@FrankieXenon]

Sounds like a g37

[@mrmonkey8000]

So flutter tonguing and playing is growling
