David Valdés great friend and Percussionist

[@PosauneundPapier]

Not going to lie I am kind of disappointed he didn't wail on the BIGGER drum with a Mahler hammer instead of a mallet

[@jmwoods190]

Only if you wanna break the drumhead!

And what better way to inaugurate your YT channel, eh? I understand that’s the largest Gran Cassa in the entire EU! (Hope it puts the fear of G- I mean, the fear of Falletta, into the chorus.) Best wishes for a memorable series.

Huge bass drum. How big is it? Looks like over two meters at least

[@jmwoods190]

It's 66 inches wide (exactly my height) and 16 inches deep, a bit smaller than you think but still huge!

To build this drum needs the skin of one big old elephant

[@lucasbookfield4000]

Upload some more!

[@Serge_Korr_Music]

Is it the "Verdi Bass Drum", which larger?

[@alloromastodonte726]

"Verdi,s bass drum" i think its something about the tension of the skin Like Berlioz said in his book of orchestration and instrumentation.. in this case, maybe it,s trying to emulate Distyn,s huge bass drums of the 19 century.. I guess

woah

It sounds like Dies Irae from Mozart.

[@riccardogalli4991]

This it's Dies Irae but from Verdi

[@Luquinho23]

[@borbetomagus]
