Masato Honda didn't pay attention to Shinji Takeda, walked straight to Yutaka Tanabe's side, and nudged him: "What are you waiting for?"

It's about Takataka Tanabe's stubborn eyes that are very similar to his younger brother back then, and Masato Honda has a good impression of him.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yutaka Tanabe jumped onto the stage and strode behind the jazz drums.

Adjust the height of the drum stool, sit down, play it twice at random, get up again, and start to adjust the drum.

When Yutaka Tanabe transferred to Hi-Hat, Lin Hai's eyes narrowed.

Although Yutaka Tanabe has not officially "started" yet, Lin Hai has determined that his skills will not be too bad.

The devil is in the details.

Lin Hai is not a drummer, but he is no stranger to this profession, and in his opinion, 99% of drummers are inferior to Yutaka Tanabe.

Why?

Because the vast majority of drummers only focus on percussion skills, and ignore equipment adjustments, especially Hi-Hat adjustments.

Hi-Hat, which translates to "hi-hat".

Hi-hats are one of the drum kits, which are composed of two cymbals (copper sheets in the shape of a hat) at the top and bottom, and by pedaling the foot, the two cymbals are controlled to collide and make sounds.

Of course, it is also possible to tap.

When most drummers adjust the hi-hats, they tend to only pay attention to adjusting the height of the cymbals so that they can be more comfortable when hitting, but ignore the adjustment of the cymbal distance, tilt angle, etc.

If the distance between the two cymbals is too large, the sound will be too sharp and noisy, and if the distance is too small, it will not have enough sustain to produce the timbre it should have.

Of course, depending on the drummer's technique and strength, the adjustment method is also different.

Lin Hai noticed that Yutaka Tanabe even adjusted the elastic spring of the pedal, which would affect the timbre of the closed and open cymbals, but the effect was so weak that it was difficult to hear if you didn't pay attention to it.

This is a detail that some masters will overlook.

……

Yutaka Tanabe took some time to set the drums, bowed to the stage, and sat down on the drum bench.

I adjusted my breathing, stepped on the Hi-Hat a few times, gave a rhythm, and then, without playing tricks, the drum stick struck steadily.

"Knock Knock Knock Knock ......Knock Knock T

The drums sounded, and everyone in the audience was dazzled.

……

For the uninitiated, the most attractive thing about drum kits is the intense rhythm and the movement of teeth and claws. However, in Yutaka Tanabe's performance, you don't see that.

To describe his performance in one word - steady.

Two words - very stable.

Three words - very stable!

Yes, Yutaka Tanabe's drums, like a precision-running machine, are stable and smooth.

His person is also very stable, as steady as a machine, without exaggerated body movements, no fancy tricks, and even the shaking amplitude of his body is very small.

This kind of performance, if you look at it from a layman's point of view, will probably feel boring, and even misunderstand that he is a beginner.

However, none of the people present were laymen.

"What a one-in-a-million genius!"

Masato Honda spoke out the common sentiment of everyone.

Does the drummer's typhoon matter? But no matter how important it is, it is not as important as "stability".

The drummers of the resident band were almost on their knees, and Yutaka Tanabe's performance stimulated him the most, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed that Yutaka Tanabe could beat the drums as steadily as a metronome.

The main thing is that he is too young.

How old is he now? Fifteen, sixteen?

The resident drummer couldn't imagine how far Tataka Tanabe would grow in another ten years.

What he lacks now is probably experience and stage presence......

……

After a few minutes, the drumming stopped and everyone applauded.

Seeing this, Yutaka Tanabe hurriedly got up and bowed to the audience.

Lin Hai applauded and said to Takeda Shinji, "How is it?

Takeda Shinji originally wanted to be a turtle with a shrunken head, but when he saw Lin Hai's mocking face, he couldn't control his emotions a little.

He couldn't help but say: "It's a pity that such a drummer is completely unsuitable for the stage." ”

Lin Hai did not refute it, because this statement was not wrong.

When it comes to music alone, the stability of the drummer naturally comes first, but for live performances, drummers who lack body language are not popular because the audience can't feel the passion from the performance.

Seeing that Lin Hai had nothing to say, Takeda Shinji's heart was not to mention how happy.

For the first time, he had the upper hand in a confrontation with Lin Hai.

Takeda said unforgivingly: "You say I've lost my eyes? His personality is too boring, maybe there will be a place for him in the recording studio, but this kind of place is not where he should come at all!"

Yutaka Tanabe happened to come down from the stage at this time, and when he heard Takeda's mocking words, he paused in his footsteps, and then walked up to Kazumi Watanabe, bowed, and asked, "Can you let me fight again?"

Watanabe liked the boy very much and smiled, "Of course you can." ”

Yutaka Tanabe then walked up to the resident drummer and thanked him.

The resident drummer was flattered and asked if he had a good stick.

Yutaka Tanabe said embarrassedly, "Do you have a 7A drum stick?" or a 5A. ”

"There should be, I'll find it for you. ”

The drummer said, walking towards the equipment room.

Hikaru Utada leaned in curiously and asked, "Didn't you bring a drum stick with you?"

"I did, but I only brought the 5B model. ”

Yutaka Tanabe's answer made Hikaru Utada very strange.

Drummers carry drumsticks with them, just like a soldier carries a gun with him, and it must be the easiest to carry.

The drumstick that the resident drummer stuffed to Yutaka Tanabe before was a 5B model, and it stands to reason that this should be his most handy, so why should he change it instead?

Here is an explanation of the model of the drum stick.

The model of the drum stick is composed of letters and numbers, the larger the number, the thinner the drum stick, and the same number, type A is lighter than type B.

7A is the lightest of the common drum sticks, and under normal circumstances, only children will choose this kind of drum sticks.

Yutaka Tanabe is not tall, but his palms are not small, and the blow of the light drum stick is not full enough for a professional drummer, so Hikaru Utada does not understand his choice.

Thinking about it, the only explanation is that Yutaka Tanabe wants to fight for speed.

Speed, obviously, is the embodiment of the hard power of the drummer.

Fast does not mean beautiful, but fast must be strong, which is true for most musical instruments.

Hikaru Utada is not optimistic about Yutaka Tanabe because he is too thin.

Thin, the strength is weak, the strength is weak, and the speed is naturally not fast, as for the speed increase brought by the light drum stick, in the eyes of Hikaru Utada, it is purely a drop in the bucket.

Hikaru Utada was afraid of hurting Yutaka Tanabe's self-esteem, so he didn't say anything to remind him.

Takeda Shinji will not save face for Yutaka Tanabe, and sarcastically said: "I can't do it!"

Yutaka Tanabe obviously heard Takeda's words, but he didn't react at all, hanging his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

Lin Hai couldn't see Takeda Shinji's face, so he asked Yutaka Tanabe: "How about a song of cooperation?"

"Good. Yutaka Tanabe did not refuse Lin Hai's kindness.

He knew that Lin Hai was not planning to steal the limelight from him, but he was afraid that he would get away with it, and was ready to help cover it if necessary.

Seeing that Yutaka Tanabe did not object, Lin Hai said to Watanabe, "It's ugly", and then went to the stage with the guitarist of the resident band to tune the instrument.

Yutaka Tanabe waited for a while, and the resident drummer returned.

"There are no 7A, only 5A. The resident drummer apologized.

"Thank you. ”

Yutaka Tanabe said, returning the 5B drum stick to the other party and taking the 5A drum stick.

……

Lin Hai was ready, and when he saw Yutaka Tanabe on the stage, he made an OK gesture at him.

Yutaka Tanabe raised his palm and compared it above his head.

Lin Hai knew he was asking what his speed limit was.

Lin Hai said: "You are free. ”

Yutaka Tanabe's eyes narrowed.

No nonsense, Yutaka Tanabe walked to the drum kit and sat down, and casually played a piece of cadenza.

Lin Hai didn't move, he knew that Yutaka Tanabe was adjusting his state.

Yutaka Tanabe's drum beat stopped, and Lin Hai casually played a piece of Huacai.

Takayo Tanabe stood up and looked at Lin Hai in surprise. He was extremely sensitive to rhythm by nature, and he found that the melody that Lin Hai had just played was a perfect fit with the drum he had just beaten!

Yutaka Tanabe's competitive spirit was aroused at once.

This is different from the feeling of facing Shinji Takeda's cynicism and wanting to prove himself.

It's a feeling of playing against an opponent.

Yutaka Tanabe sat down again, crackling and playing for a while.

This paragraph is a mess, but whether it is Lin Hai on the stage or several bigwigs in the audience, they all know what this means.

This is the test.

Or rather, this is a war book.

Lin Hai smiled at Yutaka Tanabe, and then played another paragraph.

This section is also messy, but as long as you focus on the rhythm, you will find that it is the same as the previous drum beat.

Masato Honda in the audience said to Kazumi Watanabe in surprise: "Are young people so scary nowadays?"

Kazumi Watanabe knew what Masato Honda was referring to.

Lin Hai has just shown a memory and control of the rhythm, even surpassing Yutaka Tanabe.

In other words, he showed what it means to be "more accurate than a machine."

Of course, Watanabe and Honda can do the same thing, and even better, but considering Lin Hai's age......

Watanabe shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Do you know what I'm thinking right now?"

"What?"

"I'm wondering if we should hide from this kid in the future, otherwise I'm afraid we'll age too quickly......"

Masato Honda nodded solemnly and said, "You really should avoid him, I don't need to, anyway, he doesn't play the saxophone." ”

Kazumi Watanabe pretended to be dissatisfied and glared at Masato Honda, but she couldn't hold back at first and laughed.

Afraid that a new person will grow up to replace you?

Inexistent.

On the contrary, Watanabe can't wait for Lin Hai to replace him as soon as possible, knowing that there is no successor to the jazz guitar, which is the most worrying thing for him.

Joking, Watanabe and Honda refocused on the stage.

Yutaka Tanabe issued a war letter, and Lin Hai responded. At present, Lin Hai is slightly better. However, everyone knows that neither of them has yet to get serious.

"Who do you think will win?" asked Masato Honda.

"Lin Hai. Watanabe made no secret of his confidence in Limhai.

Hikaru Utada smiled when he heard this, and looked at Yutaka Tanabe with some sympathy.

You're good, but ......

Wait a minute!

What is he going to do?
