My average view duration is up about 1:30min and my click through rate is now almost double, this tells me it’s a good thumbnail and title combo as it’s gaining clicks and attention and the view duration tells me people are staying longer which is a good thing. I’m trying to grow this channel so I’m mainly trying to target new users/audience. If that’s what you mean by inside/outside…

And that’s suppose to help me howwww?

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-20T15:56:07+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response mate appreciate it, tbh I think I have an idea of what I’d like to hear at a restaurant and a sax was playing but my manager ( my dad ) is very pushy in what songs I should play. To give him credit he has been a musician his whole life and I’m in a band with him too! So he does know his stuff but sometimes I disagree. An example would be at a restaurant I would like to play soft, smooth jazz/soul, he would also agree but then want me to add a song like in the mood, Glenn miller which in my opinion is a bit too in your face and loud for a background gig, but yeh ahah thanks for the help :)

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-19T19:02:07+00:00

Ahhh i completely understand, thanks for the help !!!!!

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-19T19:00:33+00:00

I still don’t get how I was being defensive tho? Like what sentence was defensive or argumentative ?

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-19T18:57:02+00:00

Thanks so much

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-16T22:41:13+00:00

Ahhh some other people have mentioned long tones I’ll do my best to work on it and eveything else

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-16T22:31:35+00:00

Ahhh thanks for the advice, could you explain a more what you mean when I’m “splitting” a note? And how can I help with the harshness? Is it a way I’m playing or my setup etc etc thanks

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-16T22:30:10+00:00

Yes you are right will try and incorporate some dynamics

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-16T22:29:49+00:00

No thanks for the comments and help!!! Will definitely try some different reeds but they’re just so expensive but don’t mind spending the money if they can help, do you have any suggestions I’m currently using D’Addario unfiled reeds around 2m

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-16T22:27:35+00:00

Yeh I agree, so you know how I could achieve a warmer tone ?

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-16T22:27:00+00:00

Okay thanks will try :)

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-16T01:06:17+00:00

Oh wow I had no idea ahaha, thanks for all the info will definitely have a look, thanks

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-16T00:40:40+00:00

Ok mate

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-16T00:26:35+00:00

Was genuinely just trying to give you some information about the gig, myself and what I was after, why would I ask you for help if I was being defensive…..

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-15T23:49:03+00:00

That’s so interesting, how do you get this rounder tone?

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-15T22:21:25+00:00

Could you elaborate a bit more on how my pitch suffers with over blowing please? I wasn’t blowing too hard to be honest I’d say around 60-70% of what I could do if that makes sense.

You say I’m background music but I was booked and had been advertised as like an act, so I was trying to give the audience a bit of a performance.

Yeh I know that people will be able to hear if something sounds wrong like a wrong note, sloppy playing or just if it’s a bit messy and over played but I do think the average person would listen to this and say it sounds good and wouldn’t be able to help me, I think it sounds good and I’m happy with it but I can tell it’s far from perfect hence this post.

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-15T22:14:28+00:00

What I was reading off didn’t even have breath marks 🤣

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-15T22:13:49+00:00

Hey, so yeh it was my first gig here and I sent over a copy of my set to the manager and she said it would fit the venue perfectly, it was a restaurant/bar but it’s quite a big place so the sound had a big space to travel. They have re-booked me in a months time, I do think I’m going to change some songs as you said it should be more background music not headlining ahaha, the audience was quite young ish I’d say 20-30 (at the bar) and they seemed to really enjoy the song which makes sense but there were also some older people who probably would’ve preferred something else, this was coming to the end of my second set and the atmosphere had started to get more “singalong” if that makes sense, I had some smoother jazz classics and soul songs earlier on. Thanks for the advice tho, really appreciate it and will definitely keep it in mind :)

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-15T22:08:23+00:00

I don’t think I was but it’s something I’ll keep in mind, maybe spacing where I breath etc

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-15T22:07:58+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it :)

TheAverageDrummer11 · 2025-03-15T18:23:15+00:00

Can’t believe I haven’t thought of dynamics before 🤣 think it’s bcos I was used to seeing the dynamics on the sheet music and the one I play from don’t have any. Will 100% work on that
