Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know Wang Ou's complicated thoughts, and beckoned Xia Shamo to sit down, he sat next to Chen Haoran, and Xia Shamo sat opposite him.

Cheng Xiaoyu was not verbose, and said directly to Chen Haoran, "Chen Haoran, I really need your help." Practice won't take you too long either. If you have any requirements, just mention. If I can do it, I will do it. ”

Chen Haoran still had an expressionless face, "It's good if you don't bother me, and I can't help you anymore." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu was not in a hurry at all: "Why don't you look at what the score is saying." I've already written the score for the jazz drums, and the difficulty is not very low. You take a look at it first, what if you're interested?"

Chen Haoran directly refused, "Don't look at it, my level is relatively low, and I can't meet your requirements." ”

This answer was also expected by Cheng Xiaoyu, he smiled and said, "Anyone who plays rock has a hot and unyielding heart, I have also played in a band, and I was fortunate to be guided by jazz drum master Mike German in the United States, do you know him? The drummer of the Sonic Death Band, if you can help me, I will give you a copy of his handwritten advanced jazz drum skills." Of course Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't know any Mike, Geman, this name was searched on the Internet last night, and Geman is known as the world's No. 1 jazz drummer. As for the high-level jazz drum skills that Cheng Xiaoyu said, it is even more illusory, but he believes that with the jazz drum skills he mastered in his previous life, it should be more than enough for him to be guided, and as for what the manuscript is writing casually, it is estimated that Chen Haoran will not be able to see it.

Chen Haoran heard McGerman's name and really stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and was silent for a long time, bowing his head to pick up rice.

Cheng Xiaoyu saw this situation, of course, he knew that he had hit the point, and said with a smile, "There is also a drumstick signed by McGerman." "As an uncle who has no discipline, it is really not a burden to deceive children, but there is a sense of accomplishment that is one foot tall and one foot taller.

However, Cheng Xiaoyu underestimated the IQ of Xueba. Chen Haoran looked up at Cheng Xiaoyu for the first time and said, "I like McGerman." I want what you say too. Cheng Xiaoyu showed a bright smile on his face, I understand you. Then Chen Haoran said, "But you think I'm very deceitful, you don't even have a cocoon on your hands, you can play jazz drums?" Cheng Xiaoyu's frozen smile on his face didn't have time to turn into embarrassment, Chen Haoran got up and walked away with a poker face that had not changed for thousands of years.

Wang Ou laughed: "The cowhide is blown up." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu raised his hands and glanced at himself, and said to himself: "It's a mistake to have such a beautiful pair of piano players!" This time, even Xia Shamo laughed. However, Cheng Xiaoyu felt that this was not a matter, as long as he mastered Chen Haoran's weakness, he would definitely not be able to escape from the palm of his hand.

Back in the classroom, Cheng Xiaoyu asked Xia Shamo to take out the score, and wrote the Chinese translation below word by word according to the pinyin pronunciation. Some traditional Chinese characters still have to ask Xia Shamo, and Xia Shamo doesn't think it's strange, after all, Cheng Xiaoyu has only been back from abroad for less than a year. But Cheng Xiaoyu's beautiful pen writing really surprised Xia Shamo. After Cheng Xiaoyu finished writing, he especially marked the passion and outburst at the back, telling Xia Shamo that he needed Xia Shamo to sing such a feeling, Xia Shamo nodded thoughtfully.

When Cheng Xiaoyu returned to his seat, he said, "SUMMER, hurry up and practice, if you think you can sing, sue me." When I get Chen Haoran done, we have to find a place to go out and practice. ”

Xia Shamo: "Hmm. With a sigh, she didn't doubt that Cheng Xiaoyu could let Chen Haoran join in, as long as Chen Haoran loved music.

The two classes in the afternoon flew by. As long as the school bell is struck, every time Chen Haoran is the first to stand up and walk towards the door of the classroom. But this time there was someone faster than him.

Cheng Xiaoyu stopped him, Cheng Xiaoyu's nearly 200-pound body stood at the door of the classroom, and almost no one could get out. Suddenly, two people who looked at each other face to face became the focus of the class.

Chen Haoran still said expressionlessly, "Get out of the way." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu ignored him: "Didn't you say I can't play drums?"

Chen Haoran didn't have any feelings, as if it was just an ant that stopped him, and he could be trampled to death with one foot, "Whether you have nothing to do with me or not." Don't delay me from going to cram school. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu calmly stared at Chen Haoran's ruthless eyes and said slowly, "SOLO, you have a kind of words and I SOLO, if I lose, I will never bother you again, and give you a real McGerman's signature drumstick." You lose, be my drummer. ”

Chen Haoran didn't want to pay attention to him at all, turned around and walked towards the back door.

Cheng Xiaoyu saw that Chen Haoran didn't eat oil and salt and shouted, "I can double the bottom drum, you know? This is the latest technology in the United States, don't you want to see it?" In fact, this time and space is due to the relative lag of rock music, and the relationship between black music (well, black again, you must know that without black people it can be said that there is no modern orchestra, and jazz drums are invented by black people), and there is no double stepping on this revolutionary invention at this time. (Double pedaling is a different technique from double pedal, which uses a pedal called doublepedal, so that a drummer who hits the kick drum with one foot can use different pedals with both feet to hit the same kick drum.) The double kick drum uses two kick drums + two independent pedals, so the sound effect is much stronger, and the corresponding difficulty of playing is much higher)

Chen Haoran really stopped, looked at Cheng Xiaoyu hard, and then said, "Don't lie to me." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu saw a burning frenzy in his eyes and said, "Try it and you'll know!." ”

"Then you come with me. Chen Haoran was not wordy either, and reincarnated out of the classroom.

The whole class saw the fierce exchange of fire between the first and last place, and the classroom, which had been extremely quiet just a moment ago, immediately became noisy as the two people left one after the other. It was as if a small drop of water had been thrown into a hot oil pot, and after a few boils, it immediately returned to calm. And the squad leader Li Liwei looked thoughtfully at the direction where the two people left, and a premonition of uneasiness appeared in his heart.

Cheng Xiaoyu walked silently behind Chen Haoran, who was facing poker. Two people who don't like to find topics and have social difficulties feel distorted and suffocated together. But both of them think that this is normal and has nothing to do with it.

Cheng Xiaoyu probably identified the direction of going towards the south gate of Fudan University, which is very close to Jiaotong University, and there is a bar street between the two universities, which is the most common pastime and entertainment place for Fudan students and Jiaotong University students. Because there are many students, many elite white-collar workers who have graduated and many successful people also like to come, the purpose is of course to see if there are any beautiful students who can get to know. Therefore, there are not only many bars here, but also various types, such as clear bars, disco bars, slow shake bars, and music bars that are pure music appreciation.

The two of them walked silently for more than 20 minutes until they walked to the bar street, at this time most of the shops in the bar street have not yet opened, only occasionally some of the doors are cleaned again. There aren't many people on the street, and the few cafes that do well are doing well.

walked all the way to a bar called Lighting Forest, Chen Haoran pushed the door without hesitation and entered, and Cheng Xiaoyu followed in. The bar was empty, except for a young man in a T-shirt with stud earrings wiping glasses.

He was no stranger to seeing Chen Haoran, so he said hello and said, "Here!" Seeing that there was a fat man behind him, he was a little surprised and asked Cheng Xiaoyu, "Are you?"

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled at the stud man and said, "His classmate." He pointed to Chen Haoran in front of him.

The studed man also smiled and said, "Haoran brought your classmates here for the first time!

Cheng Xiaoyu also didn't see it and said, "Have a cup of Coke and add ice." ”

At this time, Chen Haoran spoke, "Don't serve him, he will leave immediately." ”

Chen Haoran took Cheng Xiaoyu to a basement, which was covered with soundproof cotton. Electric guitars, electric basses, keyboards and jazz drums are all available in the corner across the door.

Chen Haoran closed the door and asked "what is the SOLO method"

Cheng Xiaoyu pondered for a while and said, "You play a section first, I think I'm not as good as you, so I naturally admit defeat." I think I'm better than you, you're listening to me fight. ”

"What if I listen to it, and I think you are not as good as me?" Chen Haoran stared at Cheng Xiaoyu and asked.

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Then count me as losing." ”

Chen Haoran showed an expression on his face for the first time, sneered, and then said, "I like your confidence. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "No, I believe you." Anyone who likes rock and roll is not a bad person. After speaking, Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile at Chen Haoran.

Chen Haoran was not wordy, sitting in front of the drum kit, his left foot on the cymbal, and his right foot resting on the kick drum pedal. Pick up the drumsticks and habitually strike each other three times to beat the rhythm, and start tapping the cymbals to enter the intense performance.

Many people who don't know rock 'n' roll think that the guitar is the strongest in SOLO. But in fact, people who often watch the scene know that jazz drum solo is also very shocking, in terms of music table xiàn force, the drum kit may not show too many complex emotions, but the drum kit is indeed the most easy instrument to make people burn. The drum kit should be played well, and it is very technical. The technique can't be too bad, too bad is not capable of showing the charm of the drum kit. The technique can't be too good, the top drum master often pursues the first place is speed, the second is to show off his skills, and whether he listens at every turn is generally not within the scope of his consideration. On the contrary, ordinary masters can play a rhythm that attracts ordinary people. In the previous life, you can see whether a drummer is at a high level or not, and you can basically see it by looking at his drums. Often the drums and cymbals can drown out the drummers, and the level is high and scary, and the fewer the opposite, the lower the lower.

Chen Haoran is now on a road of pursuing speed and showing off skills. In fact, as a band drummer, the most important thing is rhythm and stability, and speed and skill are secondary. But this is a SOLO between the two, and speed and skill are of course more important.

Because it was not a double-kick drum, most of the jazz drum playing techniques of this era were focused on the snare drum. Chen Haoran's current table is a fancy snare drum, with a double jumping roll, a cross, a single jump, a roll, an accent displacement, and then a transfer to a multi-jump roll.

Multi-Jump Rolling is a method of playing by combining the control of the wrist and the rebound of the drum skin. This technique is very simple on the surface, but it is actually a very difficult advanced technique. A gorgeous multi-hop is not just about your hammer bouncing over and over again on the skin, you have to not only be even, but also note that there are many legato techniques in different playings, which is not as simple as it seems. From a technical point of view, multi-hopping requires that the drumstick be fully bounced on the drum surface and control the bounce height of the drumstick until it stops. This requires a lot of boring practice with amazing stability. Obviously, Chen Haoran is doing a good job.

Ordinary people often think that those movements are cool, and the drumsticks are still in the hands for a few turns, and the jazz drums are good to play with a little rhythm and rhythm. In fact, the real master who plays the jazz drum really has no image, and generally looks crazy, and people who don't understand it will definitely think that this person is beating something, how it looks like he has been twitching.

Hearing this, Xiaoyu had a bottom in his heart about Chen Haoran's drum kit. Obviously, Chen Haoran is an extreme jazz drum maniac, pursuing hand speed and fancy skills. In this way, it will be difficult for Cheng Xiaoyu's next performance to conquer Chen Haoran. Because hand speed is not his strong point, not to mention that he has not practiced a drum kit in this world. Cheng Xiaoyu thought that he couldn't compare to the speed, but he could only understand it, and he was much higher than this era in terms of understanding the drum kit.
