Wicked Part 4 -#14 to #14A

Here is part 4 of the percussion book for the Broadway show Wicked. In this video I play#14 One Short day into #14A I Am Oz! In many ways this is the most difficult part of the show because of the large amount of instruments used and quick switches between them. The audio I am using is from the advanced book audio CD the last tour sent me. The quality of this recording is not great so please excuse any distortion. It is also stage vocal heavy so you will not hear much drum set but this is very much a rhythm section show and if you listen to the original soundtrack you will hear this. Here are the time stamps 0:00 Opening discussion 5:06 #14 One Short Day 8:44 #14A I Am Oz! 9:35 Discussion In this series I play through the entire percussion book from the Broadway show Wicked. I have performed 4 runs (soon to be 5) of this show and have played it live well over 100 times. This is one of the most popular and long running Broadway shows of all time (almost 20 years as of this writing). The percussion book is difficult but not because of many technical issues. The difficulty lies in the setup and getting from one instrument to another. Therefore this is a good show for demonstration purposes while teaching and one that will surely be around for many years to come.
