BreadBin Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I have seen a professional percussion player make some incredible sounds with a triangle. He's the only one though. Quote

Not exactly, more like really high speed playing with variable left hand muting creating a kind of phase/flange effect. Kind of like triangle through a Wah pedal. This guy is an amazing percussionist, possibly the best I have ever seen. 1 Quote

To be fair it's a role I know nothing about but I'm guessing that all orchestral triangle players are skilled in other percussion type instruments which they use in that orchestra?

DaveFry Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Get your ears round this then .... Played on the beach , made from driftwood , fencing wire , a coffee tin , pebble etc Quote
TheGreek Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 The fact that they have their own transport ("can you pick the drummer up?") may go in their favour... Quote
SpondonBassed Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 To be fair, most of the seventies US detective dramas made good use of the triangle. Maybe Mrs Kaye dabbled between her bass stings...? Quote

Yank Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Some Zydeco bands make liberal use of a triangle. Other than that, mostly symphonic percussionists. You think it's easy counting 156 measures of rest and then coming in on exactly the proper quarter note written by some dead guy? Those guys deserve a medal. 1 Quote
