Vibrato On The Clarinet?! with Eddie Daniels

[@waihoong11]

In Jazz, airy sound is very much desired at times. Evokes a sultry mood. It's like someone singing Jazz with a husky sound rather than a full-toned operatic voice.

[@Matthew-ll3fp]

whyap11 no

[@Supremedalex]

Depends on who is playing, I say.

[@ChrisAndrewsJazz]

It's so funny hearing people criticizing someone who is a proven master of the instrument. Whether its jazz, classical, airy tone, vibrato etc. He's paid his dues period! If Mozart was alive today, even he would get grilled on youtube.

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

ChrisAndrewsJazz So true!

[@AndreyOkhrimets]

and so sad

[@Roro-rg9mf]

So what?

[@sarahdegrees1088]

I now know how to play a doorbell sound on a clarinet.

[@xixiliu8049]

me tooo!

[@chrometry9676]

Sarahdegrees108 ok

[@Cumcake21]

Chrometry salty much?

[@CiarraHarvey]

same XD

[@iz4yt]

Who "woulda thunk", a Bb doorbell? (G-Eb concert)

[@Gamzeii120]

He's like the Bob Ross of clarinet

[@rjyoon562]

Just happy accident also applies because he is a jazz payer lol

[@jimrich4192]

Bob Ross...those wonderful blue skies!!!!

[@seamothboy]

just goes to show, as if people needed reminding, different people have different tastes for sound. i'm not a clarinet player but i have one in a cupboard somewhere, and i like eddie's sound so much that i'm tempted to start learning

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

"When I DID play the flute..." Eddie, get back on that super flute - and piccolo. Oh, how we miss you in that department! What a flutist you have been!

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

+backunmusical My - - - our gratitude in advance.

[@tele_alan]

Thanks. I wish I had a nice clarinet. I have been playing 4 years on a school clarinet

[@MelissaNgai]

haha me too, and from youtube videos, i have just recently learned that my thumbpiece is way to high for me to be able to play well, and comfortably.

[@lrzhi]

Wow ahaha awww, get a Yamaha 255, a rlyyyy good model and sounds great. If u want it to sound better, invest in vandoren mouthpieces and reeds, etc

[@lrzhi]

Additionally, it’s a pretty cheap one. $700 ishhh.... cheap, compared to backun etc.

[@tofusrvng]

lord they are the worst. I couldnt play C5 on my starter, and when I switched to a new one I was shockes that my clarinet could even go above C

[@destinyrider22]

I think that the microphone they're recording with is picking up the air flow equally as much as the actual notes.

[@PancakeTheKat]

Yeah I think so

[@Ciprian-Amarandei]

During my classic music academy I always wondering why clarinetists don't do vibrato. Now I know:) for some reason, to me, the clarinet sound seems lifeless without vibrato, I used to play the bassoon. :) Nice video !

[@daveletterman3580]

it airy because in jazz you can't hear the air but only his awesome sound. you see in jazz you have a background band or at least drums which are loud enough.. a dark tone is good.. bluesy

[@jasonxxxkillsgerms4907]

I was just looking up London Silas Shavers and I ran into this. He's my sisters teacher and she really spoke well about him. I was hoping to find a video of him playing on here.

[@davidgopar15]

what is he playing in the intro?

[@zachlacanlale]

I wish I had Eddie Daniels as a private teacher

[@thornlesser8994]

Wonderful!!! A master has a favorite note on his instrument . this was an entirely new concept fo me .I got it immediately and wondered why I had neve heard this issue broached before.I love the open g and A strings on violin .G so low and earthy the ringing , modern steel of the A3 . But the harmonic e above its top e string is a ringer in a concert hall and never to be forgotten . difeent types of vibrato . slow and fat or fast and shivery . wonderful and thank you ! Flutes and piccolos get the best msic along with strings and glockenspie ,vibraphone,claves and other percussion instruments ! in my orchestral music !

[@himan12345678]

so, since I have a natural vibrato that I don't consciously make and much to my own frustration, and that of my numerous teachers and tutors over the years, I can't play a straight tone for the life of me, I shouldn't consider playing the clarinet classically?

[@SqueakStixRock]

Eddie you are my hero!

[@TheAries414]

Can you still clarinet and oboe if you wear dentures or no teeth ?

[@rosiefratertaylormusic]

Eddie is the master. Any of you with a problem with what you hear here, go and get his Breaththrough CD. THEN make a comment!

[@annlandreville]

Much thanks Mr. Daniels, i appreciate a lot, you just answered my questions about vibrato!

[@rebekahhults4805]

This video was very interesting to watch. Very intriguing...

[@djayers]

Hmm, is that vibrato, pitch variation, frequency modulation or (as it sounds to me) tremolo, volume variation, amplitude modulation..?

[@lavenderlavalampgirl]

n.n beautiful clarinet!!!

[@grease3873]

I hear what y'all are sayin about his airy tone eh i still like it :>

[@Dimondium]

@xxyuli Sorry, I made a mistake. And also... 'His F sounds like D sharp' Of course it does! A clarinet is written in B flat, or a step above concert C. Since they SOUND a step lower, their F sounds like an E flat, AKA D sharp.

[@Seifer_42]

I'm not a big fan of his really airy tone...

[@AndreyOkhrimets]

that is is because of his jazz set up, and that airy sound is not audiable from 3 meters, but he is using very open mouthpiece.

[@ninocarriglio9054]

ma lui dice che Nama i bocchini chiusi...

[@Supremedalex]

I use a very open mouthpiece as well, and I do not get an airy tone, it probably has to do with the level of hardness of reed he is using with his set up, I tend to use a softer reed and I get a fuller, more powerful sound. He probably is using a harder reed giving it that light, airy, and resistant sound.

[@jamesbarrera8006]

HOW DARE YOU!!! I BET YOU SOUND WORSE

[@valeriofranchi5611]

@@ninocarriglio9054 ma non ho capito come se fa sto vibrato io

[@ChadDiglett]

I bet that's a $4-6k clarinet.....

[@Leo-pe5gu]

More.

[@zadedohan]

Oh I have to find out what that tune is in the beginning

[@stormiethedark6355]

I just found out who this guy is today. He lives about an hour away from me and apparently I play on one of his custom mouthpieces and I had no clue.

[@saralittle99]

what is the best reed for a clarinet

[@lsdvine]

so glad to hear this!±

[@CLee-oz1yg]

that is so good

[@thunderfoot43]

He's mainly a jazz clarinetist, so it's appropriate.

[@bricology]

I'm not convinced that what he's demonstrating is actually vibrato (modulation of *pitch* ); it sounds more to me like tremolo (modulation in *dynamics* ).

[@zmircovski1703982]

guys dont'be such a haters,Eddie is the best jazz clarinet players of all times...that airy sound is nothing scary or a bad thing,I'm doing it,many many clarinetists are doing it,so if you play clarinet you know how it is going,your lips should be very tight all the time,you don't have to bother with that just play this BEAUTIFUL instrument

[@Dimondium]

@xxyuli He was fingering an A. Even considering concert D sharp, or clarinet F, there's no way he could drop 2 whole steps from a mis-tuning. It isn't possible. My favorite note? G twice above the staff. Played right, it's a soothing, yet piercing lullaby of one note.

[@jojijojo3566]

I like f too, also why is almost everyones favorite note f?

[@ОстапБачинський-с2х]

What`s the music on start of video?

[@jemcnair76]

You guys have to realize that the microphone placement for the production of this film is centered on Mr Daniels voice. That placement is not the same place that an engineer would place a microphone to work the instrument. That's the 'air'.

[@katomiysan]

I play vibrato with my throat... and my teacher loves it when I do it in our lyrical sections

[@RawrXD256]

uican once told me ere is no wrong way to play as long as the notes come out right.

[@earthangelbaby_]

Does anyone know his setup?

[@MochaChinoBrown]

How do you glissando? Like the one in Rhapsody in Blue. I've been trying to do it, but it isn't working.

[@thepopshop234]

This technique uses a "pitch bend" in which case you drop your jaw, slacken your chin and change your throat. Their is also the technique with your fingers, where you move your fingers across the tone holes whilst playing the notes quickly. I recommend watching the video by Kathy Devries

[@peach_ohh]

Is it my speaker or does his tone sound a little airy?

[@Mttt3]

because jazz embouchure and classical embouchure are different. Your suppose to let air escape when you play jazz

[@AndreyOkhrimets]

exactly, with even 1.5 reed I cannot control Jb5 of my teacher.

[@yousifalqassmi832]

I want clarinet

[@kayvenhouston2900]

i thought i was the only one who heard his airy tone

[@YaaBoyBangs]

The airy sound is because of the mic, it's probably not made to record the clarinet.

[@oneofthebadkids]

i play clarinet and i rather like his airy tone, it's something different from the usual clarinet sound

[@ninocarriglio9054]

che ance...n.5????

What should I do with my bra

its a Backbun Fatboy barrel, so you can tune to 441 and 442.

[@rby1199]

He looks like Joel in TLOU.

[@venskus2009]

HAHAHAHA what came first? his love for the F, or his hand selected doorbell? xD

[@jilliangoyette9269]

Why does it sound so airy

[@jordanmorack9122]

+Jillian Goyette He is playing on a jazz set up

[@AndreyOkhrimets]

This is just jazz set up. All open mouthpieces are airy.

[@joel.ds.m]

Jillian Goyette Nope!

[@sebastiansprotte2551]

i think its exactly what he wants...

[@declanssister]

Look how many Clarinets he has! OMGOODNESS! I only have 2.. :(

[@mayuradio]

I think it's because the microphone's quality is too precise LOL

[@EmileRyjoch]

his sound is a jazz sound isn't it?

[@Supremedalex]

Eh...

[@TheRealGigachad1848]

No one: Eddie: Vighbrato

[@mmarakaki1]

he is pro, but his sound is much clearer, and loud.

[@chewhua]

The air is driving me crazy.

[@jimrich4192]

"Not doing IT!"....mom..LOL...

[@bjk3697]

Great sound but I have got all clarinet in the backside to me

[@imogenn3641]

Ughh, back to the drawing board. I always thought vibrato on a clarinet was from the diaphragm

[@Supremedalex]

I tend to use both, I have less control from my lips, I need to work on that... that would help with pitch bending as well.

[@jakehardy762]

he sounds airy. its just his kind of playing or his clarinet. i dont like it really but a lot of people do but i dont get it lol

[@littlethuggie]

Best vibrato technique/sound of all-time = Stan Getz. Let those "experts" tell him no vibrato.

[@AndreyOkhrimets]

Lol, so sad to see people ditching someone who they barely know. This is world class musician. Just listen kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKLJmIutod-knpo. My music teacher also sounds airy on JB5 mouthpiece. This is not classical player. And this airy sound is not observed from 3 meters in concort situation.

[@leopold23756]

A hissing doorbell

[@_MERKA_]

He needs to tighten his corners

[@stephennazigian8131]

Very nice use of vibrato, but your videographer is not doing you any favor. Cutting away to a side shot and leaving you staring off into space while you talk always looks like a mistake.

[@roxylebon]

VEry good and interesting , but remember.. the best tone and sound clarinet in the world belongs to Henghel Gualdi !!!! (Italy)don t forget it !!! Bye

[@2015shasha]

nice sound but airy...

[@smokeyjazzytalks3131]

his sound is so airy its not full he needs more air

[@spartanandremarieroux2624]

It's not that he needs more air, it's the resistance of his mouthpiece. Up close, it sounds airy, but farther away, such as in a concert hall, it projects and is nothing but pure tone. Just listen to his recordings, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

[@smokeyjazzytalks3131]

True i see what you mean

[@yvonnestewart3006]

An awful lot of air hissing out of it when he plays.

[@kbprojekty]

+Yvonne Stewart His voice is heavily distorted too so maybe audio was pushed too hard through compressor and the instrument's air got exaggerated.

[@SuperAnimeChicken]

@thedutchwhale Big lips sink ships

[@dimitarfroze8046]

amateurs, the real clarinet master is Ivo Papazov.

[@majapechanach5982]

Why is his tone so airy?

[@TheShadowblast123]

thier recording and audio processing method for eddie

[@AndreyOkhrimets]

and a jazz set up. Which is airy if recorded with close by mic.

[@7khaiii]

I play violin.

[@kylepearson9505]

That’s funny I’m learning to play the violin right now. I know how to play the clarinet and I’m finding out the violin is pretty difficult at least without a teacher

[@thomashallatt97]

NO DONT DO A VIBRATO WITH YOUR LIPS THAT IS INCORRECT

[@joelrobertson6520]

Thomas Hallatt nope, it's just lip vibrato.
