Chapter 20 I'm a freelance musician
When he hung up the phone, the bus happened to stop, so Xu Wen got off the bus and called Didi.
20 MINUTES LATER, XU WEN ARRIVED DOWNSTAIRS IN THE REHEARSAL ROOM CALLED "SLOW JAM", AND JUST AS HE WAS ABOUT TO PICK UP HIS MOBILE PHONE TO CALL XIE YUYUN, HE SAW A GIRL IN JEANS WALKING TOWARDS HIM.
"You...... It's Xu Wen, right?" Xie Yuyun looked at Xu Wen and asked.
"Well, then you're Miss Xie, right, I'm ......"
"Just call me by name. Xie Yuyun waved his hand, and then looked Xu Wen up and down for a while: "Trouble, you are more handsome than in the photo." ”
"Huh?"
Since he was born, it was the first time that Xu Wen was praised by a girl of the same age for being handsome, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.
Xie Yuyun sighed: "I'm sorry to offend, the main thing is that you are so handsome and I am very worried." ”
"Russia...... What do you mean?" asked Xu Wen a little inexplicably.
"Since you're making music, you should know the most common reason for the band to break up, right?"
As soon as Xu Wen wanted to express that he didn't understand, a lot of information about the band suddenly appeared in his mind.
The most common reason for a band to break up.
1. The lead singer of the band got along with the guitarist.
2. The band's lead singer and drummer are getting better.
3. The female lead singer of the band has found a boyfriend by herself.
……
“???”
So there's no love in making music, right?
Xu Wen, who understood what Xie Yuyun meant, immediately assured: "Don't worry, I'm here to play the drums." ”
Xie Yuyun folded his hands and said to Xu Wen after listening: "First of all, thank you very much for coming to help, to tell you the truth, we are about to participate in the refreshing summer competition sponsored by iced tea, but the drummer can't come for a while." We've been practicing hard for a long time for this competition, so it's really important for us, so I hope you take it seriously. ”
"Don't worry, I'll do my best. ”
After expressing her gratitude again, Xie Yuyun made a gesture of invitation and said, "Then let's go up to the rehearsal room first." ”
"Good. ”
Follow Xie Yuyun to the sixth floor by elevator, and when she reached the end of the corridor, she pushed open the door of the practice room on the right.
Clapping his hands twice, Xie Yuyun shouted to the two girls who were practicing inside, "Pause, I'll introduce the new members." ”
The two girls were stunned for a moment, and then their faces were full of surprise, they found it so quickly!?
At this time, Xu Wen also walked into the practice room and greeted the two girls: "Hello, my name is Xu Wen." ”
The moment they saw Xu Wen, the two girls were stunned again, but soon waved their hands together: "Hello." ”
At this time, Xie Yuyun walked up to the ponytail girl and introduced, "Zhuo Ling, our guitarist." Then he introduced the short-haired girl on the other side and said, "Wu Chang, bass player." ”
After the three of them nodded to each other, Xie Yuyun said to Xu Wen straight to the point: "Then please play a little first, I want to know your level." ”
Xu Wen: "No problem. ”
Zhuo Ling and Wu Chang looked at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, looking at it like this, their captain seemed to have just met this drummer?
Walking to the drum kit in the rehearsal room, Xu Wen first looked at it, and all kinds of information about the drum jumped out of his mind.
'BLSAT advanced five drums, REMO oilskin, with four cymbals, for a rehearsal room, this drum is considered a high-end product, it is estimated that the rent of the rehearsal room here is not cheap. ’
Sitting on the drum stool, Xu Wen picked up the drum stick that was resting aside and waved it, feeling its weight.
'Oh? It's a resin head, it's really rare. ’
When played with a resin-headed stick, it has a brighter sound when struck on the cymbal, which also makes the drum sound better and less debris like the most common wooden drum sticks.
Then he knocked the drum a few times casually, Xu Wen raised his head and said to Xie Yuyun, "Wait a minute, I'll adjust the drum skin." ”
"Well, good. ”
Watching Xu Wen seriously begin to adjust the upper drum skin of the drum kit, Xie Yuyun frowned, in her cognition, she would do this kind of operation before playing the drum, 99% of it was to install B, showing that she knew how to drum well, generally speaking, this kind of frame is all fancy, it looks like bells and whistles, but in fact, it can't even play the most basic rhythm.
It didn't take long for Xu Wen, who had adjusted the drum skin and cymbals, to hold the drum stick again and said, "Okay, do you want to hear me beat the music or improvise?"
Xie Yuyun casually picked up a shop next to him and opened it on the music rack and said, "Let's knock on the music first." ”
“OK”
After Xu Wen finished speaking, he directly waved the drum stick and began to play.
At first, it was a relatively gentle rhythm, Xie Yuyun was still carefully observing Xu Wen's gesture of holding the baton, although she was not very good at drumming, but she could see that Xu Wen's skillful movements of using her wrists to play the drums were far stronger than the movements of their original drummers using their forearms.
Then, before she could analyze anything, a rapid drum beat came at her like a shower, instantly shattering her doubts one by one.
The drum beat is clear, the rhythm is steady, the flowers are added properly, and the double pedal is harmonious......
Even if Xie Yuyun doesn't know much about drums, she also understands that Xu Wen's level is far beyond her cognition.
As the last syllable was sounded, Xie Yuyun and the three of them were already dumbfounded, this is too cool to hear!
Xie Yuyun, who came back to her senses first, applauded decisively, and then the other two girls immediately followed, and after patting for a while, Xie Yuyun put down her hand and asked, "It's amazing, I never knew that [Alive] could knock out such a feeling...... Can you do another impromptu session?"
"Of course. After Xu Wen finished speaking, he knocked on the cymbals and started his performance directly.
If it was a gradual shock to play the score just now, then Xu Wen's improvisation this time can be said to have directly ignited the atmosphere.
instantly polished the ears of Xie Yuyun and the three of them.
Coherent rhythm, mellow legato, and even rhythm without pimples, as long as you understand music, you can understand that Xu Wen is simply a textbook improvisation.
And when Xie Yuyun was still trying to hear the difference between Xu Wen and other drummers, the other two girls could be said to have completely fallen, and when Xu Wen entered the door just now, they didn't really observe him very well because of this, such surprise and surprise, but now......
Xu Wen, who was waving a drum stick at high speed, was already handsome in their eyes!
"Yuyun, where did you find the immortals?" Wu Chang turned his head and asked Xie Yuyun in a low voice.
Xie Yuyun: "Rented." ”
“???”
Wu Chang was confused, it was the first time he heard that he could rent a drummer.
When the song was over, this time without Xie Yuyun taking the lead, Wu Chang and Zhuo Ling immediately applauded, and asked, "May I ask which professional band are you from?"
"Nope. Xu Wen shook his head: "I'm a freelance musician." ”
