One Thousand Three Hundred and Forty Challenges

For Renly, rhythm is not difficult, but drum kits are more about control and balance than just rhythm.

Dumb drums are only the most basic part of all basic skills. Sitting in front of real drums, there is still a lot of content to learn slowly. The technology that was completely mastered on the dumb drums, after switching to the real drums, instantly became at a loss again.

This is a necessary process. Almost every drummer has to go through this process.

Many beginners simply and rudely believe that the basic skills of dumb drums are not suitable for real drums at all, so they reject dumb drums even more and insist that everything is done on real drums; the fact is another face, precisely 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, while the real drum is a set of components: kick drum, snare drum, tom tom, hanging cymbal, rhythm cymbal, hi-hat, etc.; in addition, according to the needs of performance, some cowbells will be added , wooden fish, sand hammer, triangle iron, hanging bell and other devices, but no matter how many devices are added, all are performed by one person.

In other words, real drums need a more stable rhythm, always maintaining an even and balanced coordination when switching back and forth between different parts. This also puts forward higher requirements for basic skills. You can completely polish your basic skills through dumb drums, and you can switch smoothly when you hit real drums; otherwise, switching from dumb drums to real drums is easy to start. Busy and overwhelmed.

Of course, for many amateurs, ditch the dumb drums for real ones. This is not a problem. However, in difficult performances, 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 to everything.

It took seven days to practice dumb drums, and another three weeks to practice the basics of real drums. With four hours of class time and four hours of practice time every day, Renly was like a real candidate. In order to apply for the Juilliard School But I started to work hard, and for a month before and after, I didn't rest, I didn't take vacations, and I didn't slack off. I devoted myself 100% to basic skills.

At least, Renly has successfully completed the transformation from entry to entry level; further, thanks to his sense of music and rhythm, as well as a solid basic piano skills, he can already become a competent drummer - no Top or excellent, but at least beyond the average level, and there are even more potentials waiting to be tapped.

Everything was born in just one month, which is incredible, but it is real.

Dimly, Renly could sense a change in Johansen's attitude.

Renly didn't understand the specific reason, but suddenly one day, Johnson became more businesslike, his tone and attitude changed, and the whole class was more professional and smoother; but Renly was not curious either, the focus was still on the air. Drums, from the beginning to the present.

Objectively speaking, Johansen may not be a talented drummer, but he is an excellent teacher.

this is possible. This is true in any field. A genius at the peak of his career achievement does not mean that he can become a competent teacher, because teaching and imparting knowledge requires skills, especially basic knowledge.

For those geniuses, the basic knowledge may not have any difficulty, and it is easy to understand, but their way of thinking and understanding may not be suitable for ordinary people.

vice versa.

Johansen is like that.

In the process of teaching basic skills, he was always able to capture the problem keenly, and assist him with corresponding training methods to adjust and improve; what's more, Renly is undoubtedly an excellent student, an excellent music student, which It also gave Johansson more wiggle room.

George Slender once said seriously that, perhaps, Renly can achieve higher achievements in the field of music than actors.

The most moving part of Renly's music is undoubtedly the emotional bond.

He has always been able to see through the vicissitudes of life, combine his emotions with the melody, and resonate through singing. This talent is very precious to musicians; in addition to this, Renly's sense of music and rhythm also It is really eye-catching. It can't be regarded as a talent, but it is also really outstanding, which can be called an innate spirituality.

In just four weeks, Renly's mastery of basic skills and his comprehension of skills have indeed shown a rare aptitude, and coupled with his diligent practice, it has also enabled Johansson to throw more and more challenges and let Lanly. Li is constantly improving and exploring.

In a trance, Johansson also completely forgot that Renly learning the drums was just a "hobby".

In fact, if it's just to shoot "Boom Drummer," that's enough learning to handle most of the shots.

Because no matter how hard Renly tries, it's impossible to become a top drummer in just a few months.

During the actual filming of the film, all of Renly's performances were real hits, but in post-production, his hits were all synced and performed by real top professional drummers.

A few days ago, Damien Chazelle has confirmed the professional dubbing drummer, Peter-erskine. He is the top jazz drummer in the world, and his strength is beyond doubt. In all the difficult scenes in the movie, Peter will be Renly's most solid backing.

In other words, Renly can now stop there for the sake of filming.

But Renly was not satisfied.

Just like Buried Alive and Gravity before, Renly wants to really feel where the characters are. Andre-neyman this time too.

For a drummer, rhythm, timbre, speed, and control are all indispensable. If you just pursue one of them, you are destined to not be a top drummer; but in the movie, Andrew, as a freshman, has just entered the world of drumming. It's just that all of his sights and attention fell on the "degree", as if the degree represented everything.

Andrew's idol is Buddy-Rich (Buddy-Rich), a real bull in the history of jazz, who has been consecrated and is known as one of the greatest drummers in the world. Everything is perfect; Andrew's personal favorite part of Buddy Ritchie's performance is "The Four Hundred Blows."

The whole performance can be called the pinnacle of excellence, starting with the most basic hands of 60, and soaring all the way to 400. Although the average beat is less than 0.15 seconds, each beat is clear, accurate and evenly balanced. The way of rain connects all the beats in series, and the hands are maintained between 330 and 400 for a long time, creating a terrifying effect of layers of stormy waves with dense and powerful, rushing and crisp drum beats.

That shock is enough to make every soul surrender.

With Andrew's vision and understanding as a freshman, he was the first to capture the speed, the absolute speed of 400 hits per minute, which is also the realm he has been trying to achieve.

Renly knew he couldn't get that far, but he wanted to try it out. At least, he wanted to understand Andrew's mood in trying to reach such a state, as well as the 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 really try and work hard.

Now, Renly is trying.

He didn't hit the cymbal or the tom, just raised his hand above the snare drum, but it was an almost impossible task.

The wrist must be relaxed, the drumstick is driven by the force between the fingers, and the drumstick is driven by the rapid vibration of the small muscles. You can't 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 cannot be at all. Reach the requirement of 400 hits.

He understands these principles and rules, he understands all of them.

But it is one thing in the mind, another in the actual operation; another in the truth, and another in the practice.

In actual operation, the control of small muscles cannot achieve effective resonance at all. Trying to force and control, unconsciously drives the entire forearm. Originally, the transmission of intensive beating was completed through local control, but it turned into a giant waving big. Stick-like swiping and knocking, and then the muscles begin to stiffen.

The more anxious and forceful, the stiffer the muscles; the stiffer and more clumsy, the slower the speed.

So, the more you want to add, the slower you get.

It's like a vicious circle. After getting caught up in it, you go around in circles and circles. The suppressed distress and struggle burns in your chest. Finally, you can't help clenching your teeth, as if all the strength in your body burst out. Come out, exhausted the power of the flood, trying to complete four hundred strikes.

However, after all, brute force is not enough, this is not the game of Hercules.

Renly gritted his teeth and stopped annoyed. Not to mention the four hundred hits, even the two hundred and forty hits have become chaotic. Just touching the edge of the three hundred hits, the entire drumbeat begins to fragment, and the rhythm, strength, rhythm, etc. are all gone. Not to mention the flow and grace of the music, it's just a tyrannical beating.

Terrible.

The tensed muscles relaxed and let out a long sigh. Renly raised his head and looked at Rooney Mara who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. He lowered his head and showed a wry smile, "How is it? You? Did you feel it?"

Rooney lowered her jaw, pursed the corners of her mouth, and said meaningfully, "Yes, yes, of course, I feel it, I feel it 100%. If you're talking about how bad and terrible the performance just now was, even if As a layman, a layman with no appreciation for drums and jazz, I could also feel that it was a complete disaster."

In the face of Rooney's complaints, Renly was not angry, and nodded earnestly in affirmation, "Really? You feel it too, right?"
