"Xiaoshi, have these drum sticks been replaced with new ones?" At noon one day, Xiao Feiniao came to the music rehearsal room for the rare purpose of practicing drums, and she put it on the bass drum stand.
The drum sticks felt a little wrong, the handles were slightly knocked out and the spikes made for rimming completely disappeared, and the weight also increased significantly.
"Well, I accidentally broke the previous one when I was practicing drums." Oda stood up and took out the broken drum stick remains from the cabinet on the side, "So I went to the musical instrument store to buy it myself.
A pair of drum sticks that I feel are more comfortable with."
"It looks like this...but why is the color, thickness, and weight different from the previous one?" Xiao Feiniao continued to ask questions like a curious baby.
"The previous pair I often used were maple sticks, and they were 5A standard sticks. They were specially used for training in the training room, and it was easier for newcomers to get started." Oda explained patiently, "But I usually grew up with them.
I have been using 5B, which is heavier, since I was a kid, and then I liked the walnut ones better, so I bought a pair of drum sticks according to my own preferences." At this point, Oda seemed to suddenly remember something, and took out the sticks from the cabinet.
He took out two more pairs of drumsticks: "This pair is made of oak. If you, Little Bird, and your Nogi group perform, you can try to use this pair later. Then this pair will be the same maple 5A as before. Little Bird, how do you compare in strength?"
It’s small, so it’s more appropriate to use this pair.”
"Yeah." Xiao Feiniao nodded blankly and took the maple drum stick handed to her by Oda. "It turns out there is so much research on drum sticks..." Since she was a monk halfway, she could only be regarded as a monk.
I like to play drums, but I can't be considered a fan of drums, so I have almost no knowledge about all kinds of drums, so I just play.
"Little Asuka, why do you suddenly want to play the drums?" Oda sat there and listened to the little Asuka repeatedly beating the same melody. He didn't feel it was noisy, but he was a little curious about why the little Asuka suddenly became interested in practicing the drums.
"Because the Nogi troupe will be performing in a while!" Xiao Asuka stopped what he was doing after playing this melody, and said to Oda excitedly, but then lowered his head with his lips pursed, "
Actually, Xiaoichi, you are more suitable for Nogi Group than me. I don’t listen to a lot of rock music, and I’m not as good at playing drums as you, Xiaoichi..."
"No, little Asuka, you have made great progress." Oda shook his head. On the one hand, all the members of the Nogi Group are under members. Although Oda is also an under experience, it is obviously not appropriate to participate; on the other hand,
On the other hand, Oda has enough work. As a person with some obsessive-compulsive disorder about music, if Oda participated, he would probably be very dissatisfied with the results of the rehearsals and would invite other members to practice more and practice more.
, after all, the band is different from ordinary singing and dancing. It is a form of music that pays great attention to teamwork, and the drum set, as the rhythm player in the team, cannot be trained alone, so if you go back and forth like this, the other members will probably have a good understanding of the organization.
Tian may have some complaints, and words such as "Obviously he is already very good, but he is still nitpicking" and "I just rely on my own drum playing to be better at filling the cup" will probably come one after another, although Oda believes that Nogizaka
The members are all super good people, and it is impossible for them to openly mock Oda like this, but such thoughts will definitely flash in their minds for a few moments.
"but..."
"There are no buts." Oda walked over and touched the little bird's head, "If there is a chance next time, we may be able to play drums together on the stage. You have one on the left and I have one on the right.
Then the two of them cooperate, and then let the other members wear leather jackets and sing rock music in front, and then spray biubiubiu with that kind of air gun, don't you think it's cool?"
"Super handsome!" Xiao Feiniao closed his eyes and imagined for a while, then swept away his previous depressed mood and showed an excited smile, "So we have an appointment?"
"Yes, we have an appointment." If there is a chance.
"However, the most important thing is that Xiao Asuka should continue to work hard to practice the drums." Oda saw that the difficulty of Xiao Asuka's paving was not very difficult, but she had been practicing for a long time. "After all, the drum set is the soul of a band.
and rhythm, if you don’t do it well, the rhythm of the whole band’s performance will be completely messed up.”
"Okay!" Xiao Asuka nodded vigorously, and was about to continue practicing the melody, but was interrupted by another sentence from Oda.
"By the way, I seem to have heard an error just now. Is the syncopation here a beat too early? Please play it again and see."
After hearing Oda's words, the little Asuka obediently played the melody again.
"Sure enough." Oda patted Little Asuka on the back, and Little Asuka obediently moved away from his seat, "This course is actually not particularly difficult. Did you always feel that it was twisted when you hit it?"
"There is one thing, it feels weird no matter how I fight."
"That's right." Oda tapped a measure on the music score with the newly bought drum sticks in his hand, "You should have entered the syncopation here a little early, and the subsequent syncopations have the same effect.
question, so it sounds strange."
"Huh?" Xiao Feiniao still looked a little confused.
"Let's do it like this. I'll type it again and you can listen to it and see if there's any difference." Oda briefly glanced at the melody that Xiao Asuka practiced and memorized it in his mind, and then typed this melody very smoothly.
came out, and some of the control of intensity and rhythm are much more precise than that of Xiao Feiniao, and the sound feels completely different.
"It's completely different!" Xiao Asuka said silently in his heart, casting his admiring eyes towards Oda.
"Ding!" After playing that melody, Oda also habitually played a melody to show off his skills at random, ending with a hook. After playing the hook, he turned the drum stick with one hand in a pretentious manner.
After walking around for several times, I finally got it in my hand.
"Bah, bang, bang." Xiao Feiniao applauded crazily, "Xiaoichi, how did you do the last one!"
"This?" Oda showed off his drum stick spinning skills again.
"Yes!"
"It's actually not difficult to rotate the drum stick, but you have to find the stick in your hand and find the center of gravity to spin." Oda casually found the center of gravity of the drum stick in his hand with his fingers and showed it to the little bird.
Look, "If you ask me to spin other sticks all at once, I probably won't be able to spin."
“So..I should find the best drum sticks for me too?”
"No, you should practice this melody well." Oda gently tapped the little bird's head with the head of his drum stick.
"All right."
"But if little Feiniao keeps working hard like this, I can take you to the musical instrument store to try out drum sticks, and I may even give you a pair as a gift."
