The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 1340: Challenge the problem
For Renly, the rhythm is not difficult, but the drum set is not only about rhythm, but also about control and balance.
Dumb drums are just the most basic part of all basic skills. Sitting in front of real drums, there are still many things to learn slowly. The technique that I had completely mastered on the dumb drum, after switching to the real drum, instantly became at a loss again.
This is a necessary process. Almost every drummer must go through this process.
Many beginners simply and rudely believe that the basic skills of dumb drums are not suitable for real drums. Therefore, they reject dumb drums and insist that everything is done on real drums. The fact is that it is different because of the basic skills of dumb drums. The training is still not solid enough to adapt to the rhythm of the real drum——
Because the dumb drum has only one head, the real drum is a set of components: kick drum, snare drum, tom drum, ride cymbal, rhythm cymbal, hi-hat, etc.; in addition, some cowbells will be added according to the needs of the performance. , Wooden fish, sand hammer, triangle iron, bell and other devices, but no matter how many devices are added, all are played by one person.
In other words, real drums need a more stable rhythm, and always maintain an even and balanced coordination when switching back and forth between different parts. This also puts forward higher requirements on the basic skills. Completely polish your basic skills through the dumb drum, and only when you hit the real drum can you complete the switch smoothly; otherwise, it is easy to start switching from the dumb drum to the real drum. Hesitated and overwhelmed.
Of course, for many amateurs, abandon dumb drums and choose real drums. This is not a problem. However, in a difficult performance, they can easily lose the frame and rhythm of the rhythm, thereby destroying the core energy of the entire performance, and may even become a disaster.
There are no shortcuts.
It took seven days to practice dumb drums and another three weeks to practice the basic skills of real drums. With four hours of class time a day and four additional hours of practice time a day, Lan Li is like a real candidate in order to apply for the Juilliard School. And I started to work hard for a month before and after, no rest, no vacation, no laziness, and 100% devoted to basic skills practice.
At least, Lan Li successfully completed the transformation from entry to elementary level; further, thanks to his sense of music and rhythm, as well as solid basic piano skills, he can already become a competent drummer-no Top or excellent, but at least above the average level, there is even more potential waiting to be tapped.
Everything was born in just one month, which is incredible, but it is real.
Faintly, Renly could feel the change in Johnson's attitude.
Lan Li didn't understand the specific reason. It was that suddenly one day, Johnson became official, his tone and attitude changed, and the whole class process was more professional and smooth. However, Lan Li was not curious, and the focus was still on the air. Drum, from the beginning to the present.
Objectively speaking, Johansson may not be a genius drummer, but he is indeed an excellent teacher.
this is possible. This is true in any field. A genius with a peak career achievement does not mean to be a competent teacher, because teaching and imparting knowledge requires skills, especially basic knowledge.
For those geniuses, the basic knowledge may not be any difficulty, and it is easy to understand, but their way of thinking and understanding is not necessarily suitable for ordinary people.
vice versa.
Johnson is like that.
In the process of teaching basic skills, he was always able to keenly capture the problems, and supplemented with the corresponding training methods to adjust and improve; what's more, Lan Li is undoubtedly an excellent student and an excellent music student. It also gave Johnson more space to play.
George Slander once said seriously, perhaps, compared to actors, Renly can achieve higher achievements in the field of music.
The most moving part of Lan Li’s music is undoubtedly the emotional fetters. He can always see through the vicissitudes of life, combine his emotions with melody, and evoke resonance through singing. This talent is very precious to musicians; In addition to this, Lan Li's sense of music and rhythm is also really eye-catching. It can't be regarded as an extraordinary talent, but it is also truly outstanding, which can be called innate spirituality.
In just four weeks, Lan Li’s mastery of basic skills and comprehension of skills did show a rare aptitude. Coupled with the diligent practice with no distractions, Johnson was able to throw more and more challenges and let Lan Li continues to improve and explore.
In a daze, Johnson also completely forgot that Lanly learning drums is just a "hobby".
In fact, if it is just for shooting "Burst Drummer", then learning to such a degree is enough to handle most of the shots.
Because no matter how hard Ren Li works, it is impossible to grow into a top drummer in just a few months.
During the actual shooting of the film, all of Lanly’s performances were real hits, but in post-production, all his hits were accompanied by synchronized sounds, which were done by real top professional drummers.
A few days ago, Damien Chazerley has confirmed the professional dubbing drummer-Peter Erskine (peter-erskine), he is now the world's top jazz drummer, the strength is beyond doubt. In all the difficult sections of the film, Peter will be the most solid backing for Renly.
In other words, for filming, Renly can stop here now.
But Lan Li was not satisfied.
Just like "Buried alive" and "Gravity" before, Lan Li hopes to truly feel the character's situation. This time Andrew-Neiman (andre-neyman) is the same.
For drummers, rhythm, timbre, degree, and control are indispensable. If you just pursue one of them, then you are destined to be unable to become a top drummer; but in the movie, Andrew, as a freshman, has just entered the world of drumming. That's all, all his eyes and attention fall on the "degree", as if the degree represents everything.
Andrew's idol is Buddy-Rich (Buddy-Rich), this is a real big cow in the history of jazz, has been entrusted to the gods, known as one of the greatest drummers in the world, technology, power, rhythm, degree, etc. All the links are perfect; and Andrew personally likes Buddy-Ricky's performance, which is "Four Hundred Strikes".
The whole performance can be called the culmination and extraordinary, starting with the most basic hand 60, soaring all the way to 400 hands. Although the average beat is less than 1.5 seconds, each beat is clear, accurate, and evenly balanced, with a gust of wind. The rain method connects all the beats in series, and keeps the hands between three hundred and thirty to four hundred for a long time. With dense, powerful, turbulent and crisp drums, it creates a terrifying effect of layers of stormy waves.
That shock was enough to make every soul surrender.
With Andrew's vision and experience as a freshman, what he first captured was the absolute degree of four hundred hits per minute, which was the realm he had been trying to achieve.
Lan Li knew that he could not achieve such a hand, but he wanted to try and see. At least, he wants to understand Andrew's mood in trying to reach such a state, and the sense of frustration and fear in the process of trying.
Just like breakthroughs and innovations in acting, you can only know what it feels like if you have really tried it and worked hard.
Now, Renly is trying.
He didn't hit the cymbals or tom drums, he just raised his hand above the snare drum, but this was almost an impossible task.
The wrist must be relaxed, the power between the fingers is used to drive the drumsticks, and the quick vibrations of the small muscles are used to drive the drumsticks. You cannot just rely on the strength of the arm to complete the action, otherwise the muscles will become stiff, and the vibration frequency of the forearm will not be able to Meet the requirement of four hundred strikes.
He understands these principles and rules, and he understands them all.
But in mind is one thing, actual operation is another; reason is one thing, practice is another.
In real operation, the control of small muscles cannot achieve effective resonance at all. Trying force and trying to control unconsciously drive the entire forearm. Originally, the transmission of intensive percussion was completed through local control, but it turned into a giant swinging big. Strike and knock like a stick, and then the muscles begin to stiffen.
The more anxious and the stronger, the more rigid the muscles; the more rigid and awkward, the slower the degree.
Therefore, the more I want to increase, the slower and slower.
It's like a vicious circle. After getting deep in it, it goes around in circles, the suppressed distress and struggle burns in the chest, and finally clenches the teeth involuntarily, as if all the strength of the body is bursting. Coming out, exhausted all his power, trying to complete four hundred strikes.
However, brute force is not enough after all. This is not a game of Hercules.
Lan Li gritted his teeth and stopped in annoyance. Not to mention four hundred strikes, even two hundred and forty strikes have become chaotic. Just touching the edge of the three hundred strikes, the whole drum beat begins to fragment, and the rhythm, power, rhythm, etc. are all gone. Not to mention the flow and grace of the music, it's all just a rash guy playing indiscriminately.
Terrible.
The tightly tightened muscles relaxed and let out a long sigh. Lan Li raised his head and looked at Rooney Mara who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. He drooped his head and showed a wry smile, "How about you? Do you feel it?"
Rooney lightly jaws, pursing the corners of her mouth, and said meaningfully, "Yes, yes, of course, I feel it, 100%. If you are talking about how terrible and terrifying the performance just now is, even I am a layman, a layman who has no ability to appreciate drums and jazz, I can also feel that this is really a total disaster."
Facing Rooney's complaints, Lan Li was not angry, nodded earnestly to express affirmation, "Right? You feel it too, right?"
