Lan Li didn't deliberately play tricks on Johansen.
To be precise, he didn't care what Johansen was thinking, for him, it was all about the drum kit, and it was only about the drum kit.
Anyone who has really delved into a musical instrument skill should know that the solid basic skills are crucial for subsequent learning, and the more professional and senior the person, the more humble the attitude and the more he understands the irreplaceability of the basic skills. As the saying goes, a full bottle does not sound, and half a bottle is clattering, which is what it means.
Take the piano as an example, if it is just for one or two performances, playing a piece of music, and practicing the score temporarily, then they can just get started, memorize the position of the keys and the fingering, and quickly leave the school within three or five days, and then practice makes perfect.
Then everything is simple, and there is no problem with it.
But if it is for real professional learning, then use the metronome to cultivate rhythm and musicality, and repeat the practice over and over again, this is a compulsory course every day, and only by persisting in it for many years can it achieve initial results.
The foundation must be solid in order to be able to lay the foundation for the later high-rise buildings.
The same is true for the drum kit, the dumb drum is a necessary basic skill, if you are a novice without any foundation, then at least the first three days must be accompanied by the dumb drum, or even longer.
From the perspective of content, the basic skills of drumming can be divided into five types: click, drum, repetition, ornamentation, and bouncing decoration.
In addition, the basic skills of drumming can also be divided into two categories: limb skill practice and limb coordination exercise from the perspective of purpose. Coordination exercises are literal, while skill exercises are somewhat similar to fitness, except that fitness focuses on large muscle groups and the effect is obvious, while dumb drums train small muscle groups in the limbs that are difficult to capture with the naked eye.
Through long-term continuous practice, the joints, fingertips, wrists, etc. become more flexible and more coordinated, and the result of more developed muscles is the improvement of control, speed and strength are the first of all, as well as the stability of continuous hitting, always maintain a constant speed control, and then improve the ability to control the drum kit.
The so-called control ability, in fact, has the same effect as the piano, the light, heavy, fast and slow, the four different rhythmic changes and continuations can be used freely, and more importantly, according to the mood of the melody, their own understanding and perception penetrate into the performance, and then give the notes fresh vitality.
For the truly top-notch conductors, the nuances of the quarter beat, they can all be keenly captured, especially in classical music, and the demands are even more stringent. When they need to give the symphony a more generous or sad mood, it can be presented through changes in weight, speed and slowness, and the drum beat as a metronome is the driving force in the first place.
It needs not only stability, but also bursts, not only control, but also delicacy.
And all of this ability comes from the practice of dumb drumming.
Of course, all the dumb drum exercises can be completed on top of the real drums, but the sound of the real drums is easy to cover up the lack of details, especially when practicing the content that has been mastered, the purpose of repeated practice is to correct and improve, and the importance of the dumb drum is more prominent;
For drummers, immersing themselves in the beat for a long time will inevitably cause hearing damage. The "dumb" of the dumb drum is exactly what it means, it can protect the hearing, and the role in the practice is naturally irreplaceable.
Lan Li himself is a piano background, as long as more than ten years of polishing and precipitation, although he is not a genius pianist, but the basic skills are undoubted;
Of course, Lan Li's learning time is really limited, and he knows that he can't grow into a top drummer in just a few months, but sharpening his knife is not a woodcutter, he needs to really become a drummer before entering the crew, not necessarily the best, but must be the most authentic and solid.
What's more, there have been countless things that have been boiling and disturbing in recent times, and Lan Li himself is inevitably a little impetuous, he tries to control his emotions, but it is not so easy, so calm down and hone the basic skills of the dumb drum, which is also a way to cultivate one's self-cultivation, completely devote himself to the rhythm and eliminate all interference.
The drum kit doesn't seem to be difficult, because it's just a beat, but Lan Li knows that in practice, it's definitely not that simple, and that's true for any instrument.
Over the next seven days, Johansen discovered a strange thing, even a strange thing.
Generally speaking, beginners only need to spend three to five days practicing the dumb drum, after that, the real drum is the main thing, supplemented by the dumb drum, and the basic skills are continuously polished, which is a water grinding work, honed little by little.
But for seven days, Johansen didn't mention the real drum practice, and Lan Li didn't ask, for five days, four hours of thunder, step by step, step by step, for the camp to practice, over and over again repeating the boring and tedious exercises, over and over again, even Johansen himself was already drowsy, Lan Li still maintained a high degree of concentration.
This...... It's a little weird.
"Sixty! Steady, steady...... Okay, one hundred and two, the speed is raised, it is lifted, it is good, it is good, it is steady, one hundred and two, it is stable at one hundred and two, don't be in a hurry, keep it steady, the strength, the strength of the fingertips and wrists is a little more, the beat is weak...... Very good, very good, very good, steady, steady, and now slowly increasing to two hundred and fourteen ......"
"Come a little, come a little more, accelerate, fast, raise the speed, lift it up! No, no, no, the rhythm should still be stable when you speed up, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, keep the rhythm steady, increase at a constant speed, don't disrupt the rhythm, steady, steady! Pay attention to the metronome!
Johansen and Lan Li are working on the first stage of the basic exercises.
Variable speed combination, from sixty to two hundred and forty, speed up, speed down, speed change and so on hit control, but change the speed at the same time still can not lose the rhythm of the rhythm, not just a random beat, but must maintain a sense of rhythm, can not break the stable framework of the rhythm.
Although this is not a 360 or 400 ultra-difficult challenge change, it is already a super-high level of challenge sprint in the basic skills, from control to strength, from details to the whole, reflecting the thickness and depth of the basic skills in an all-round way.
This is the nineteenth attempt of Lan Li, and it can be clearly felt that the arms, wrists and fingertips are becoming stiff, and the control is slowly decreasing, and the effect is not as obvious and clear as it was at the beginning, but unexpectedly, the rhythm effect of the drum beat presented is particularly gratifying, and for the first time, it really shows a sense of fluency and stability, and the sound of the drum beats falls on the eardrum, which is really pleasant to the ear.
"Good! Good! Stable!"
Johansen listened attentively at all times, the sound of Lan Li's blow and the sound of the metronome were perfectly combined, and a smile appeared on his cheeks, but only for a moment, and when he realized his expression, he quickly retracted his smile and interrupted Lan Li's drum beat with his own applause.
"No problem, this time the hit is no problem. ”
Johansen affirmed it neatly, "This is the end of all the basic training of the dumb drums, and the practice of these basic skills will need to be accumulated for a long time, and you can start training anytime and anywhere." ”
Overall, the dumb drum is not bulky, and the sound is relatively dull, so it does not disturb the people, and you can practice even at home.
"Starting tomorrow, we'll officially start practicing the real drums. Johansen finally took the initiative to mention, "While you train for real drums every day, you can still do dumb drum training, and in addition, you can increase the frequency yourself, and the highest level of division that we recognize at the moment is four hundred, you can try it." ”
400 hits per minute, which means that you need to hit the ball 6.67 times per second, just through brain supplement, you can't imagine what level the control frequency of the wrist and fingertips needs to reach;
Otherwise, hitting the drum without making a sound at all is also in vain. More stringently, the power of each blow must be as even as possible, ensuring that the timbre and sound quality of the drum rhythm can be maintained to be of high quality.
"No problem. Lan Li still continued the style of the first day of meeting, calm and low-key, no greetings or small talk, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the study of the drum kit, as if he were a diligent and studious art student, so diligent that Johansen almost forgot his identity and profession.
The same is true today.
Johansen didn't linger any longer, turned around and left the practice room, continuing to get busy with his business.
Footsteps had almost reached the gate, Johansen suddenly realized that his mobile phone had actually fallen in the rehearsal room, shook his head helplessly, and walked back again, the lights in the rehearsal room had been extinguished, Lan Li sorted everything out, and left the classroom. Turning on the lights and finding his phone, Johansen turned away again.
At this time, I remembered that I had just walked all the way back, but I didn't see Lan Li's figure, could it be that he left from another direction?
While wondering, he noticed that the practice room on the other side of the corridor was lit up, and he walked over habitually, and through the window, he saw Lan Li practicing dumb drums.
It was so unexpected and so frightening that Johansen's jaw drooped.
