(I found a jazz drum video in the style of Cheng Xiaoyu, which is not purely technical, but has an invincible rhythm. However, it cannot be posted here. Please post it in the comment area. If you want to see the technical flow, please search for Mike Mangini (Mike

Cheng Xiaoyu signaled Chen Haoran to stop. He walked to the drum set and put his schoolbag on the wooden floor. He took off his coat and threw it on the sofa far away. He said, "Due to equipment limitations, I can't perform with double bass drum. Are you interested?"

If you want, you can customize a bass drum, and then I can teach you how to practice."

Chen Haoran said, "I'll tell you if you win first."

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled, took the drumsticks, and sat in front of the drum set. He could not beat Chen Haoran simply by comparing speed, and most of the dazzling drum skills required the support of speed. So what Cheng Xiaoyu chose was not a frighteningly difficult blow.

method, but a FREESTYLER that pursues rhythm and sweetness.

Cheng Xiaoyu did not use many flashy techniques at the beginning. Instead, he first used a double jump technique to hit the tom rim and alternately jumped to play the snare rim. This unique opening method exceeded Chen Haoran's understanding. This also originated from

Because the two people pursue different directions, although this kind of opening is not a grand opening that can shock the whole audience at once, it is quite pleasant to the ears and creates a different charm. Then Cheng Xiaoyu focuses on the hi-hat.

On the cymbal, the double-jump compound rhythm percussion technique is used on the hi-hat, and is repeatedly used on the cymbals to give the drum set a melody effect. Together with the fixed rhythm of single stepping and double tapping of the bass drum, it presents a rich texture layer.

A distinctive passage. The entire performance has a water-like flowing texture, which is in sharp contrast to Chen Haoran's pure pursuit of technique. Although Cheng Xiaoyu has never used many powerful techniques, in terms of musical performance, he is obviously not on the same level as Chen Haoran.

But this does not mean that Cheng Xiaoyu is better than Chen Haoran, it is just that Cheng Xiaoyu is much better than him in understanding jazz drums.

Chen Haoran's face turned a little pale at this time, and he had to admit that he had lost. Although he also knew that the other party had taken a trick, he lost if he lost. It was like Guan Yu and Xiaobing Zhang Ga duel, but he was defeated by Xiaobing Zhang Ga before he could get close.

Killed with one shot, can you say that Guan Yu is not as powerful as the soldier Zhang Ga? This is a power that transcends the times.

Cheng Xiaoyu walked down, his hands a little painful. After all, they were hands that had never held a drumstick. He patted Chen Haoran on the shoulder and said, "I can really teach you how to practice double bass drum, you know? When you learn it

With a double bass drum, you open a door to the advancement of a jazz drum master."

The color returned to Chen Haoran's face: "Are there really double bass drums?"

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded, "There must be."

Chen Haoran was a little hesitant, "How to use the hi-hat?"

Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Turn off the hi-hat directly, or install a HiHat Clutch (hi-hat clutch), there are other ways to hold it."

"What?" Chen Haoran asked, now he completely believed what Cheng Xiaoyu said.

"More cymbals are installed, but this requires you to have faster and more accurate displacement (displacement here refers not only to the rotation of the body but also to the arms, because modern jazz drums have many drums and many cymbals, so greater movement is required.

Make sure you hit it accurately.)" Cheng Xiaoyu picked up his schoolbag, dug out the jazz drum music score he had drawn long ago, and handed it to Chen Haoran.

Chen Haoran took it expressionlessly, without even looking at it. He was still immersed in the rhythm just now. He had to re-examine his direction. He felt that Cheng Xiaoyu had pointed out a brand new path for him.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't care that he was in a daze and said, "I'll leave first. You can practice the drum first. It shouldn't be too difficult for your level." When he walked to the basement door, Cheng Xiaoyu turned back and said, "You have a good place here. Let's

From now on, practice here! Haha, just treat it as the tuition you paid." Cheng Xiaoyu blinked at his poker face, closed the door and left.

Cheng Xiaoyu entered from the south gate of Fudan University, which was relatively close to him, and went directly to the piano room of the music department near the north gate. Now for him, the long journey of thousands of miles has taken a solid first step. Next, he will perfect the entire arrangement and put it into practice.

Guitar, bass, and some orchestral melodies were compiled into the synthesizer, and then collaborative practice was performed with Xia Shamo and Chen Haoran.

Three people are enough to form the complete structure of a band. As long as the band is strong enough, the live performance will not be much worse than that of a four- or five-piece band. In the past, there were many well-known three-piece bands such as Feier Band (although

They have only released one good album, and they have been resting on their laurels. Unfortunately, the starting point for the first album was too high), Japan's DaiShaRin (a typical J-POP style, an electronic band, Fei'er copied many J

-POP band style), Italy's octopuss band (mainly rock and roll, combined with a strong funk style, known as the "Best Live King" in Italy). Cheng Xiaoyu practiced classical piano in the piano room for a while,

He didn't stop until Wang Huasheng came to pick him up. He had put too much energy into the New Year's Day performance recently. He had to find a way to make up for the missed classical piano practice time.

When Cheng Xiaoyu got home, the housekeeper Qiao Sansi said that the synthesizer he needed had been placed in his study. Cheng Xiaoyu didn't want to eat at all, so he went straight to play with the big toy he had been dreaming about. In the end, he suppressed the urge.

I suppressed my inner desire and ate first before going up.

When Cheng Xiaoyu returned to the bedroom, he was stunned by Qiao San's professionalism. The entire study had almost been transformed into a small music workstation. The entire MIDI system included synthesizers, computer music software, sound sources, computers, MIDI connections, tuners, etc.

Peripheral equipment such as sound stations and digital recorders are now neatly placed in their most suitable positions. There is also a new computer on the table. Cheng Xiaoyu turns on the computer and the desktop is full of downloaded music editing software. (The computer is in

In music editing, the sound information from keyboard instruments can be converted into digital information and stored in the computer. MIDI is a digital interface, and the computer is the ruler of the digital world. The computer has naturally become the commander-in-chief of MIDI instruments. When we

When the computer is connected to the entire music system, its status as the commander has been determined. Other MIDI devices in the system will act according to its will to create or play various styles of music. Of course, the music will ultimately be reflected.

human will.)

Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't put it down and began to study this synthesizer. He carefully identified it and couldn't understand the brand, but he was sure that it was not an arranger keyboard. Most people may not even be able to distinguish between a keyboard and a synthesizer, let alone

Let’s talk about arranger keyboards and synthesizers. Although the functions of the two are somewhat similar, the difference between them is actually huge.

The arranger keyboard has a lot of accompaniments in units of measures, which can be quickly combined. The timbre is generally limited (but expensive arranger keyboards can generally be expanded), but it is easy to operate and can be used for fast live performances and bars.

It is mainly used by keyboard players. The synthesizer can also be sampled (recorded and set on a certain key), but there is no ready-made rhythm, and it is not even equipped with speakers. It is mainly used in the background or in the early stage.

Record each note in separate parts, then synthesize it together and play it out. If used for live use, it will take a week to process. For a bar band, it is not worth it. In short, one is focused on live improvisation, and the other is

Focusing on pre-production, the live sound can be presented with richer sounds and more powerful expressive power.

What Cheng Xiaoyu has to do now is to use a synthesizer to record the written music for various instruments into the computer and edit it. This is a very energy-consuming job. The synthesizer is not friendly to beginners, so it must be powerful.

He had to understand so many parameters before he could get a first glimpse of the effect. But Cheng Xiaoyu also enjoyed it endlessly. After all, he didn't have many opportunities to play with synthesizers in his previous life.

Cheng Xiaoyu studied synthesizers until very late before going to bed. The next day, with dark circles under his eyes, he swayed out of bed, swaying like a giant panda who hadn't woken up, and took the car to school. But he endured class.

He didn't sleep, although he yawned countless times. After class, he lay on the desk to catch up on his sleep. No matter what Wang Ou did to him, he ignored him.

During the lunch break, Cheng Xiaoyu dragged Xia Shamo to the cafeteria and forced them to sit next to Chen Haoran to have lunch together. Wang Ou now called Chen Haoran Poker Man and Cheng Xiaoyu Panda Man. As for Xia Shamo, she was embarrassed to give others nicknames and even faced them.

Xia Shamo is a little shy.

Chen Haoran seemed to turn a blind eye to Wang Ou and Xia Shamo. It was much better for Cheng Xiaoyu. At least the two of them communicated with each other about jazz drum problems. However, the way of communication was dry and weak. Usually Chen Haoran asked a question and Cheng Xiaoyu answered.

One sentence. Later, the discussion came to the music written by Cheng Xiaoyu, and Xia Shamo also joined in. Wang Ou became depressed and said a little crazy, "I shouldn't have practiced sprinting in the first place. A genius like me should learn a musical instrument to have a future."

Ah." He had completely forgotten that he had said he wanted to learn basketball.

After dinner, Cheng Xiaoyu made an appointment with Xia Shamo and Chen Haoran to go to the Forest of Lights to practice together. After all, he didn't have much time left for him. There will be a selection for the school on the 25th, a joint rehearsal of the four schools on the 29th, and a night performance on the 31st.

.There are only five days left before the school selection, and only nine days until the joint rehearsal on the 29th.

He has never considered being eliminated. As a person who has lived twice, he has immense confidence. He also likes the feeling of being in control of everything. Although he only has a small three-person band at his disposal now, he knows
