Sonic Boom (Ultimate Low Brass Multitrack Edition) Sheet Music

[@felidore]

Just dropping by to say that Spencer Brown is right. The majority of this is fine, but there are a few sections in the lead line that are near impossible to play in context, save for professional trombonists and much practice. If you’re looking at all these egotistical comments saying “it’s super easy, I’m in 9th grade and I can play it!” and feeling bad because you can’t, know that they’re almost certainly lying. Y’all need to stop gatekeeping music by lying about the ease of music and belittling those who are honest about their abilities.

[@hiiexist479]

So are you saying I do or don't suck at trombone

[@meihem2809]

i'm a senior and range wise i can play all of it with good chops, but definitely not from start to finish, all the way through. the lead part should at least be split up between first and second trombone

[@meghanmedendorp3257]

They used this from a guy who actually played these parts. But I’m not a trombonist so idk if it’s possible or not. I just like listening to it

[@felidore]

@@meghanmedendorp3257 It’s not a direct transcription, the parts that aren’t playable aren’t played by the person this is based on.

[@felidore]

@@meihem2809 It’s really not consistently doable. There are a number of sections that are either written poorly or are just not feasible for trombone - for instance, measure 58. I’m confident you can’t play that, in time, consistently. The arpeggio section is also questionable. Doable, maybe, but most professionals wouldn’t want to play that.

[@meihem2809]

Tenor clef has no purpose. If you are playing above a lot of above the staff notes in bass clef, you read treble instead. No need to learn a third, pointless clef.

[@meihem2809]

Michael Kirby In music, I have never had a part that goes from bass clef to B flat treble. But, yes, I agree with the fact that they are interchangeable. But how likely is it that you learn tenor clef before treble clef? Especially if you play multiple instruments, you probably know treble clef anyway

[@meihem2809]

Michael Kirby But i think we can both agree Alto clef is pointless (Unless you are miraculously playing an instrument keyed in D)

[@gingersroc]

it's pretty groovy, and I like what you're going for, but this is not playable on multiple levels. I'll start with the obvious: the 1st trombone part at one part is simply too high. No trombone player can play that whether or not the computer can. Then there is the 2nd tuba part, which...... just looks like you put commands into the computer. Something to note about brass instruments and brass musicians in case you care to improve on your compositional skills: it is VERY difficult to play octaves at fast tempos, or in this case even eighths at a tempo of 120 bpm. It is also ESPECIALLY difficult for a tuba player to play octaves quickly because tuba is a very difficult instrument to play speedy rhythms. Tuba is difficult in general. However, aside from the segments where is looks like a turkey ran across your keyboard, it's an okay composition

[@MiniRunaway]

I'm aware of what you're getting at, but if you haven't already, I'd recommend taking a look at the video linked in the description. I heavily based the arrangement off of that, and while the playability of this piece wasn't really considered, I can't imagine many others could replicate what inspired it either. As for the octave jumps in the tuba line though, they're not as difficult as you seem to imply, depending on the context, of course. I wouldn't expect high schoolers to pick this up (despite other comments I've read), but any decent college level musician or anyone willing to practice a bit should be able to grab a hold of that without too much difficulty.
