cd8 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 No, I'm not asking for a keyboard tab. I already play it ok, but I'm hoping to get to the next level of performance. I'm talking about doing THE JUMP ITSELF onstage. Yes: http://img121.imagevenue.com/loc578/th_97721_jump_122_578lo.jpg I know this is an advanced technique, but I'm willing to put a lot of effort on it and I know there are a lot of pros here. How do you guys do it? Should I concentrate on flexibility or on strength? Thanks for any advice you can give me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre Lower Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 As everything else related to the continued development of keyboard techniques, this one requires some dedication. I'm sure you'll realize that with some solid theory background under your belt it's much easier to nail. However you should be aware of the steep learning curve: You should first learn to keep your personal physician's cell phone number on the cursory dog tag you should be using. Then you should check the skill level of your 911 rescue service before your first attempt at this particular technique. You should also make sure that upon hitting the ground (which you are bound to do regardless of your technical expertise level) you do so on your own, thus avoiding the extra cost and liability associated with covering someone else's medical expenses. Depending on your personal assessment of the equation risk x benefit, which should yield the number of times you're bound to actually try your hand at it, you should soon come to the conclusion that you'd be better off spending your time and energy with Hanon anyway. Hope this helps. "I'm ready to sing to the world. If you back me up". (Lennon to his bandmates, in an inspired definition of what it's all about).

Botch. Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Get yourself an A-frame stand first, too. The Apex stands are knocked over too easily.

marino Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 A few lifetimes ago, I used to play a decent rendition of "Jump!" with a rock-pop act... well, both the singer *and* the lead guitarist insisted on doing a physical jump when singing the "J" word. To make it short, I asked them to stop. It was a pathetic sight. As for me, all I could do would be to mimic a jump with my fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acctjm Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Consider taking lessons from a qualified teacher. University music departments can suggest teachers with a strong classical background. This way you won't pick up any bad habits that may hurt you in the long run. acctjm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre Lower Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Yep, it looks like there's actually 4 bass drum heads...Ya know, the picture dates back from between the Cretaceous and the Mesozoic periods, when double-strike bass drum pedals did not existed "I'm ready to sing to the world.

lerber3 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 We need some expert advice here! Where's Dave Horne? I'm sure there is some musical theory that tells exactly when to do this... I used to do this manuev over Bb7#11, but only if it fell on the 2. I always felt there was a better time/place. Please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
