1433 Emerge from cocoon into butterfly
Pearls are round and jade-like, flowing clouds and flowing water, full of spirituality.
This is the best comment on the first half of Andrew's performance. He almost single-handedly drove the entire band's performance and presented the essence of jazz..
Although the opening of "Caravan" is not difficult to play, the meat of the show is still in the climax, but it is not easy either. Fletcher can instantly capture Andrew's talent and talents, which are blooming little by little. It seemed like he was entering Andrew's comfort zone; this finally pissed off Fletcher..
Fletcher was like a furious lion, striding up to the drum set, with his back to the audience, leaning forward condescendingly, squeezing out the sound from between his teeth, "I he..." /Mom/ I’m going to dig your eyes out！”
Andrew's response？
“"Fuck", Andrew hit the Diao Cha hard, and the violently shaking Diao Cha almost hit Fletcher's face, which made Fletcher retreat a little reflexively, and the embarrassed look of him dodging immediately made him All the ferocious aura disappeared, and even began to retreat in front of Andrew..
Andrew was still sitting, but his aura stood up like a giant. He and Fletcher looked directly at each other on an equal footing, with that indifferent and calm composure, even in the face of Fletcher's strong pressure. Regardless of any fluctuations, the drumbeat in his hand continued to output steadily, turning a blind eye to Fletcher's gaze..
This made Fletcher choke suddenly..
The Andrew in front of him seemed to have truly reached the height that Fletcher expected: even if he was disturbed by throwing chairs and music scores at him, the drummer could perform high-level and high-quality performances unfazed; but... now it is exactly This is what Fletcher doesn't want to see. Seeing Andrew grow up and prepare to overthrow, the fear and panic are arising spontaneously..
Fletcher's gaze fell sharply on Andrew, and he slowly retreated step by step, hesitantly entering into his command work, his expression still a little hesitant..
And Andrew was completely immersed in his own playing. His steady and agile hands continued to hit, with a degree of relaxation, proper advance and retreat, and balanced weight. His accurate hitting was demonstrating his unparalleled solid basic skills..
Leading into the first difficult section of "Caravan," the trombone solo.
Even though it is a trombone solo, the drum set must hit the harp as a rhythm control. The trombone's performance is strong and intensive, which also requires the harp's performance to be stable and powerful, but not to dominate the scene - this is very important for the double jump technique. It put forward unimaginably high requirements. During previous practice, Andrew had been unable to improve his double jump skills in this performance. This was not even the most difficult four hundred hits..
But Andrew has entered an excellent state of total selflessness. The lightness of his right hand and the stability of his left hand have reached the perfect height of hardness and softness. With the control of his wrist and fingers, he perfectly controls the frequency of power output, and the rhythm of the drums and drum beats is perfect. The interlacing fully demonstrates the sweetness and movingness of the double jump technique, which complements the high-pitched and bright musical notes of the trombone, which is really wonderful.！
Andrew's eyes were fixed on his drum set, and his attention was completely concentrated. The control of the double jump technique made him clenched his teeth, and even frowned slightly. He could still feel the tightness of the muscles in his body. Stretched, but in this absolute state of complete selflessness, the hand speed and muscles exploded with unprecedented energy..
He knows, he has achieved it! he achieved it perfectly！
But this time he did not become selflessly ecstatic, but became more solemn. His scorching gaze burst out the energy deep in his soul, and he poured his talents and talents under the drumstick without reservation. Everything was about As for the drum beats, everything was just about the drum beats. He forgot about Fletcher and Carnegie Hall. He just immersed himself in his own world, demonstrated his talents vividly, and completely integrated with the music. Together.
Then into the second difficult section of "Caravan," the drum beats intersect with other instruments.
Trumpets, saxophones, pianos, guitars, trombones and other other instruments play a four-beat in unison at the same time, and then the drum set completes a four-beat. The two four-beats are constantly interlaced and crossed, but they echo each other and sound in the same rhythm. , blending the fluency of wind instruments with the rhythm of percussion instruments, pushing the melody to a climax bit by bit.
Andrew's eyes became more focused because he needed to inject more power to increase the sound and power of the drums. Only in this way could it be comparable to the volume of the entire band and avoid an imbalance of power in the entire integration process, which would then destroy the sound. a harmonious rhythm.
More power means more control, he needs to use more muscles in his body.
His hands were flying freely in the grass like butterflies. The stiffness and soreness of the muscles had been completely forgotten. The whole person was in a state of absolute relaxation and absolute tension. Even the smallest nerve in the fingertips seemed to be... Under the control of the brain, there is no need to think or hesitate, all the drumbeats are beating deep in the soul.
Andrew didn't even flip through the music score, and stared intently at the drum set in front of him. The sweating profusely and flushed face did not have any impact. Instead, he entered a wonderful state, that clear and focused sound. The soul is getting bigger and bigger, and it resonates with the entire band on its own..
He touched it, he finally touched that thin barrier. If it penetrated bit by bit like this, then he could peek into a whole new world of perfection..
It is not only the fusion of the soul and the musical notes, but also the transformation of the soul and the musical notes. When the essence of the soul begins to evolve into the material of the musical notes and piece together the entire personality, all the rhythms and rhythms are hidden in the blood vessels. in, gurgling, gurgling.
Fletcher？
He has stepped on Fletcher's shoulders and climbed to a whole new level. He can now control the musical notes and rhythm, while Fletcher is just an insignificant and humble existence at his feet. He is pioneering It belongs to its own style and era. Such a taste is really wonderful. It sends out a cry of joy deep in the soul, and every cell in the body begins to stretch..
He doesn't feel tired, doesn't feel nervous, doesn't feel shackles, he completely relaxes and flies freely in the ocean of music. This is his moment.！
The melody and rhythm blended step by step towards the peak, and the passionate performance came to a flawless finish..
The performance is over！
Fletcher clenched his right fist and ended this perfect performance. Even though he still didn't like Andrew, and even hated him deeply, he had to admit that Andrew's performance just now was flawless. The control of double jump technology and power output are impeccable..
but……
The drumbeat still doesn’t stop.
Fletcher turned his head and looked over, his smile stopped at the corner of his mouth, looking at Andrew in disbelief, all his expressions frozen into ice; while the other band members also looked away in stunned silence. Staring at Andrew, a little surprised and a little panicked.
The same situation happened again. Fletcher had already signaled the end of the performance, but the drum beat still did not stop. However, it was completely different from the previous time. There was no panic, no embarrassment, no tension, it was like a gurgling stream. The drum beats continued and played naturally, as if this was the correct way to play.——
The conductor and the band members are the ones who made the mistake. Now all eyes are on the drum set. This is the drummer’s moment to shine.！
The stage lights in the entire venue were slowly extinguished and plunged into darkness, but in the darkness, the drum beats were still running steadily and compactly. After the sight and touch disappeared, the sensitivity of hearing was further amplified, and the drum beats seemed to be beating. It hit the eardrum, penetrated the protection of the body, and fell directly into the depths of the soul..
That wonderful feeling makes people unable to help but close their eyes, enjoy the darkness, and immerse themselves in the drum beats. The beauty and movingness of the music are magnified to the extreme at this moment..
Then, a soft spotlight slowly lit up again, shrouding Andrew's body warmly, a creamy yellow halo surrounded the drum set, and the penetrating drum beats came down densely and surgingly. It seems that even the light and sound have drawn an airy waterfall, flowing endlessly, and every pore in the body is open..
Enjoy, this is the real enjoyment.
Every audience's eyes were firmly fixed on Andrew, even Fletcher was no exception.
However, Andrew had already entered a state of distraction and was not aware of the changes in the scene. He just entered the world of drums wholeheartedly and showed off his skills without reservation..
The drumbeats in the transitional stage still showed extremely difficult skills, slowly pushing the final power and aftertaste of "Caravan" to another climax, and the hearts of the audience slowly rose up, desperately stuck in his throat, he couldn't help but sit up straight, as if everyone's height could be seen with the naked eye, and his scorching eyes were becoming more and more intense..
Now it was Fletcher who was panicked. He walked forward quickly and asked in a surprised and panicked voice, "Andrew, what are you doing?"？”
Andrew didn't look up, just raised his voice, "Wait for my prompt.”
Now, the initiative has been quietly transferred. It is not Andrew waiting for Fletcher's prompt, but Fletcher waiting for Andrew's prompt. Parricide is taking place..
