Scheherazade - Percussion Highlights

Most of the percussion parts from mvt. III and IV of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade. Recorded in the percussion dungeon at Temple University.

You must be the Fairy of Scheherazade! I was blown away by the wonderful performance!✨

[@paulusrex321]

Sometimes I just wish that conductors dealt with percussion with a little more dignity and respect.

[@mrman7361]

Intresting seeing someone using so much right hand. I was taught that you should be alternating hands as much as possible, but I know that it ultimately depends on the percussionist. Still Interesting to see, and great work with the parts.

[@triangleboy5798]

Alternating is a good heuristic when beginning percussion, with orchestral playing it’s common to play as much as possible with one hand as it minimizes issues with hand-to-hand evenness

@@triangleboy5798at 5:06 it seemed to me you were more rhythmically inconsistent than you would have been if you alternated hands.

[@triangleboy5798]

@@Histgyphin my own practice I’ve found myself much more rhythmically consistent when using one hand instead of two. I think the rhythmic inconsistencies you’re hearing are a product of me trying to live-adjust with the recording and not quite catching the tempo. I usually won’t catch small inconsistencies like this until I start editing videos, at which point I have to decide if it’s bad enough that I need to re-record the section or not.

Are you familiar with Santa Clara Vanguard's 2004 show "Scheherazade"? If not, you should check it out! It's a fantastic rendition of this piece, and arguably one of the most musical percussion arrangements in drum corps history.

[@hargosus]

Don't you have tam-tam and suspended cymbal?

[@MarcelRebollar]

Which triangle is that one?

[@triangleboy5798]

It’s a classic Alan Abel symphonic triangle. Mine’s over a decade old at this point so it sounds a little different than the newer ones.
