1437 Reach the pinnacle
four hundred blows.
Andrew finally reached the perfect four hundred strokes. His whole body was like a volcano ready to go off. The majestic and surging power continuously erupted from the depths of his body, and the dense drum beats filled the entire concert hall like a storm. There was a mighty surge in it, and every face showed a focus and devotion..
But, this is still not the end.
After the hand speed reached 400 blows, the raging power continued to erupt, so after the storm, there was a hurricane-like surge. The power became bigger and stronger, and the roaring sound became louder and louder. It became brighter and crisper, and then Andrew entered a full-scale outbreak stage.：
Left hand. Right hand. Right foot.
A whole set of drums started to play, and every part was played to the extreme. The drumbeats and sounds swept over like a tsunami, intersecting and exciting each other, connected with each other but independent of each other, and kept spinning vigorously, Always maintaining the peak state of 400 hits, even the rain hitting the beach is not enough to describe the baptism of the soul at this moment..
baptism.
This is the most appropriate word. The whole person is completely bathed in the airtight drumbeat. The eardrums, heart, blood vessels and skin can all clearly feel the strong blow penetrating through it. At a certain moment, It penetrated into the depths of the soul, like a summer storm, mixed with the smell of water, earth, and violent wind and rain, rushing towards my face. I opened my mouth wide, and the pores all over my body were opened, but I still couldn't breathe..
Fletcher opened his mouth and stood there dumbfounded..
Andrew did it. Not only did he reach 400 hits, he also mastered 400 hits. The pouring drum beats truly brought the essence of the drum set to the extreme. His talent and talent were unreservedly displayed, and his skills were astonishing.！
He saw Charlie Parker, and he also saw Buddy Rich. Although he was not mature enough now, the vigorous vitality and vitality gave the drumbeat more spirituality. It turned out...it turned out that this is the so-called perfection. This is the so-called peak, this is the so-called reaching the top！
All the struggles and difficulties in Fletcher's heart gradually calmed down and disappeared completely. His shoulders drooped slightly, revealing a hint of frustration and decadence. His whole person seemed a little numb..
Because he knew that Andrew had completely gotten rid of the reins and shackles, and he could no longer control him. On the contrary, he was witnessing the rise of a rising star, and he was leading a legendary journey. At the beginning, he was participating in the creation of a piece of history.
When a king abdicates and gives up his throne to his successor, he will become the end and starting point of a period of history..
Fletcher slowly straightened his back again, all the sadness and bitterness were temporarily put aside, and joy and madness filled his chest again. Perhaps, this was the most glorious moment in his entire career, come and go. Among the students who went there, he finally found his own "Charlie Parker"”.
this is perfect！
In the ecstasy, Fletcher became cautious, lest his every move would disrupt the rhythm of Andrew's drumming. He observed Andrew carefully, and then saw that the force exerted by Andrew's left drumstick was slightly beyond the limit. Controlling the range, after continuous intensive blows, he suddenly added a heavy punch, and the left hanging was simply bent..
He got carried away to the point of losing control slightly. Now Andrew has entered a whole new realm.
Fletcher bent his knees and let his body disappear from Andrew's sight. He walked forward quickly and lightly, repositioned the sling, and then stared at Andrew blankly. Without even realizing it, the corners of his mouth began to curve upward..
Andrew was still concentrating on playing, and the soreness and bursting sensation in his muscles seemed to start to come again, but this time it was not limited by his talent, but the drummer's extreme. If he continued to increase the speed and exert force, his hands might be Completely destroyed, he raised his chin and met Fletcher's gaze..
Those light brown eyes were shining, neither condescending nor arrogant, but reflecting the waves of the golden halo of the scene. That pure and focused look was bursting out with a natural and powerful self-confidence. , completely taking over the whole place.
However, there is still the immaturity and greenness of young people deep in the eyes, and the lack of experience is highlighted at this time..
Fletcher didn't speak or had any expression. He just looked attentive. He raised his right hand and gently, gently began to press it down, indicating to Andrew to slow down the rhythm slowly. At the same time, he tightened his jaw and revealed in his eyes. Out of appreciation and recognition, those ups and downs seem to have disappeared invisibly..
Andrew's drumming began to slow down, and the strength and speed began to decrease with some degree of relaxation. The whole person gently exhaled a long breath, but the drumming posture still did not relax, and the whole person began to maintain a complete basic posture. , the drum beat slowly calmed down, just like the last ray of the setting sun, slowly disappearing where the sea and the sky meet..
A smile appeared on Fletcher's face, he nodded slightly, and still pressed down slightly with his right hand, once again expressing his appreciation for Andrew's control..
“Dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong.”
Andrew's two drumsticks are playing the jazz drum, and the bright drum sound can clearly feel the weakening process..
“Dong Dong Dong Dong.”
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom！”
“Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom..”
“Boom...boom……”
The sound and rhythm slowly dissipated in the air. It seemed that even the drum surface had stopped vibrating, leaving only hot sweat flowing on the surface of the skin, exuding a touch of steam and lingering in the sauna, and the power finally relaxed. After coming down, their muscles finally relaxed, but Andrew and Fletcher still did not lose their focus. When their eyes crossed in the corner of their eyes, the two of them still maintained a high degree of concentration..
“Boom……”
When the drum beat was almost disappearing, just like the last ray of light left on the vast sea, Fletcher turned his right hand, palm up, and then began to close his fingertips, slowly signaling Andrew again Raise the drum beat up again, the steady and powerful drum beat is like jumping into the blue sea and sky in the hot summer, cool and transparent, the power like breaking through clouds and cracking rocks solidifies into a bunch of sound, steadily stirring up circles of halo.
Fletcher also raised his left hand, indicating that the drum beat should be more, more, the rhythm should be faster, and the power should be stronger..
In just two eight beats, Andrew's hands once again pushed the drum beat to its peak, re-entering the world of four hundred hits without any hindrance..
Among the torrent of violent drum beats, there was first the dull sound of the bass drum, then the crisp sound of the hi-hat, and then the bright sound of the hi-hat. The entire attack was done in one go like clouds and flowing water, allowing every listener to understand clearly I could feel my heart beating violently in my chest..
Involuntarily, everyone straightened their backs, opened their shoulders, and stretched their necks. The rising excitement was like a ray of residual light. However, that ray of light was not the setting sun, but the morning light. , it became brighter bit by bit, tearing apart the shroud and bondage of the night, tearing apart the blockade and dullness of the night, and then in an instant... all the light poured down, and the whole world became brighter..
That kind of excitement and excitement, that kind of excitement and restlessness, running wildly in the blood.
Andrew's eyes were still bright with concentration and devotion. His facial muscles and shoulder muscles were tense, but his expression looked particularly relaxed and enjoyable. He seemed to be wandering and soaring in the drumbeats. Then you can see The light in the depths of those eyes became brighter and brighter, and even the spotlight began to dim..
His jaws and fingertips began to crack again.
Bits of blood and bits of sweat dripped down, beating on the drum surface and the drum surface, like crystal water drops rolling on the lotus leaf. It was wonderful, reflecting the difference of the golden sunlight. The halo bloomed one by one, and everything fell into Andrew's eyes..
Joy is boiling.
He touched it, he finally really touched it, and opened his arms to embrace it. This is the state he longs to reach, this is the state Fletcher is pursuing, this is what Charlie Parker and Buddy Rich want. Now, he has finally reached the state of possession, that kind of carefreeness and comfort, that kind of wantonness and enjoyment, which makes the whole world glow with a completely different and colorful color.
This is perfect.
Even if his soul is torn apart, even if the world collapses, even if the universe is destroyed, he doesn't care anymore, because at this moment, he has perfect.
The smile on the corner of his mouth rose up little by little, like a black lotus blooming in a golden world. Blood and flames were lingering, seeming to be burning with vitality, but he didn't care, and was completely immersed in it..
Suddenly, the drum beat stopped like this.
After reaching the peak, with a heavy double click, all the sounds stopped suddenly. Andrew looked at Fletcher, and Fletcher looked at Andrew. The eyes of the two people surged quietly in the air, There was no language, no communication, or even movement, but just one look was enough. In the depths of each other's pupils, they both found their own perfection..
Yes, perfect.
Even if I die now, there will be no regrets.
Fletcher's mouth showed an unprecedented sweet smile, while Andrew's pupils bloomed with unparalleled brilliance. A breath, a pause, a look, and...a smile, and then the resonance was in his mind. It started to roar, and finally, Fletcher dropped his hands heavily, and the whole band's performance burst out, along with Andrew's drumbeat of "The Storm is Coming"..
Rumble. Rumble..
