...first, thank you very much for your answer...
...I have no idea how a series of notes should sound, as long as it's only
a serie of notes...
...that means all depends up on the musical interpretation of a piece...
...what is the atmo, the style, the format, which thoughts, feelings the music should
transport to the audience, etc...
...I can imagine that in some cases typewriter technique is not only the best
choice but the only one, for example emulate Mr. Al Di Meola....
I teach trumpet lessons and one of the first things I do is get my students to listen to as many trumpet players as they can. Most when they start cant even name one trumpet player. It's important that they listen to the masters. In doing so they develop an idea of what great trumpet playing sounds like.
By having an idea of what is good sound wise they can start to develop a sound that is their own sound but that reflects what they hear and like.
So for me a series of notes will sound how I hear it and not how anyone else hears it. There is no right sound or wrong sound. Typewriter tapping is fine if thats what one wants. and I guess it depends on the style of music they are playing. I guess Im saying that the more stick players one listens to the more a person comes to like a certain sound of a player versus another player. Ie Bob sounds completely different that Greg or Andy Salvanos or Per Boysen or Steve Adelson etc or any number of other artists I have purchased albums from. They all sound great and have their own unigue sound. I have my favourites and try to imitate their sound.
Imitate....Assimilate.....Innovate
Fun discussion
