Instructional Video: Orchestral Bass Drum – YouTube

Broadening my percussion skills I still learned a few new things from [Wayback/Archive] Instructional Video: Orchestral Bass Drum – YouTube.

I found it while looking how to make wind sounds on a concert bass drum: [Wayback/Archive] How to create wind/whooshing sound effect in orchestra : composer

  I would say ‘Wind Machine’ or ‘Aeliophone’. It is a percussion instrument used to produce the sound of wind in orchestral compositions and musical theater productions. Originally used only in operas by Wagner and Rossini during the Romantic Period, Richard Strauss was the first to make it popular by using them in his tone poems. Later, many impressionist and modernist composers such as Ravel, Vaughan Williams, Schönberg, Messiaen etc. adopted this instrument in the orchestration of their pieces. Some classical works using the wind machine are :
  • Wagner : Der fliegende Holländer
  • Rossini : Il Barbiere di Siviglia
  • R. Strauss : Don Quixote/Ein Alpensinfonie/Josephlegende/Die ägyptische Helena/Die Frau ohne Schatten
  • Elgar : The Starlight Express
  • Vaughan Williams : Sinfonia antartica
  • Schönberg : Die Jakobsleiter
  • Ravel : Daphnis et Chloé/L’enfant et les sortilèges

The reason: despite the score of Loch Ness – A Scottish Fantasy by Johan de Meij having an optional wind machine, I could hardly find any orchestra that uses it for their YouTube videos. The best video of it I could find was [Wayback/Archive] North Oakland Concert Band plays Loch Ness by de Meij – YouTube which also included a bagpipes player.

I had the idea to make a “practice pad” out of my old #bassdrum
I always practice on the #edrum but the rebound of the mesh head just isn’t the same. I’m used to it, however it would be nice to have a more realistic feel.

So I grabbed my old bassdrum, put a drumhead on it and as much stuff I was able to find in the drum itself.

The feel is there. But also the volume. It’s still freakin loud 🫣

I could make a bassdrum out of a floor tom, but it would be an extra cost due to the special rim to clamp the pedal on it.

(Yeah, cable management on the ekit is not the best 😅)

Mir ist heute während meiner Weiterbildungsvideokonferenz ein Regal abgeschmiert. Hab’ mich urst erschrocken. 😳
Jetzt muss ich das #reparieren (Dübel sind ausgebrochen, muss die verstärken).

Dazu gebe ich mir aber ein bisschen #Hochkultur: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX_EePMZxuk&list=PLGPL9MOa7QETAbxce0-giFT6xj7SEN2mi&index=2
