Cool (I like the timpani, very interesting instrument).

Wow, what a great performance! And a great piece! You performed marvelously hon. Tuning was good, pedaling was good, dynamics were excellent. I can just imagine watching your arms flail about as you move across the drums. :)

BTW are those Yamahas?

In timpani solos like this, the tenancy is to play loud and fast all the time. You managed to avoid that trap admirably, and it really makes the piece that much more interesting. Bravo!

Thanks again sweetie! I am happy to hear this piece at last, especially with you performing it yourself. It was worth the wait. :) *kiss*

Any chance I can get another copy of the score?

*chuckles and kisses back* I only regret that I didn't send this to you sooner; really, I felt that waiting two years before submitting a recording would be prudent in this case. ^..^; My tuning really wasn't up to par, but I felt I did all right otherwise. Far as the drums go, those were Adams, and I used green-felt Pro-Mark Tom Freer mallets as I felt they had the right sound for a tumultuous piece like this. As soon as I can get on my own computer, I'll send you the score; working out the dynamics took some time, and I'm just grateful to my instructor for helping me manage to keep things interesting by not playing so bombastically all the time. You're right in that too many solos do that. ^..^;

*hugs tight* Miss you lots, man. It's been way too long. My fault entirely. ^..^;

Well I'm glad you sent it, better late than never. ;) Adams, eh? That was actually my next guess. They sounded far too resonant to be Ludwigs! The tuning was harder to hear when you're playing really fast (obviously) but the instances where you stop and let the drum vibrate, the notes sounded clear and didn't go sharp or flat (to my ear). That's important. I'm always hearing some percussionists in our band ignore good tuning and rely too much on the gauges, and their notes almost always sound flat ^_^

So I think you did wonferfully. Too bad they didn't have a better recording setup, though. I'm so spoiled by our sound recorder, Tom Johnson (Johnson Digital). He has some kick-ass stage mic setups he uses to really capture details, things like the clicking of the keys on the woodwinds, and the vibration of the contra-bass bassoon (very awesome). Oh yeah, and any screwups or anything dropped is recorded in full 24-bit 96 kbs glory ^_^

*snuggles tightly* Keep in touch man, miss ya!

man technical difficulties, don't you love em

Sounds GREAT!!!
