I would think that your setup and the player on it would have significantly more effect on the tone than pad material.RE:
I have a clarinet and would like to make it sound like the sound of the Hindustani clarinet. I read Shankar mentions a soft rubber material in one of his videos but it doesn't go into further detail.
Any information would be helpful.
Practice, dude. Practice.
First, I've gotta say that the gentleman in the video sounds like he's playing a clarinet. I'm relatively sure it's a standard Selmer (I can almost see the logo on the upper joint) Boehm-system horn. It looks like he's using a standard mouthpiece and a Rovner-like ligature. The style sounds a little like Turkish clarinet, but not overly so. Turkish clarinet players seem to favor clarinets in odd pitches (like G) and favor Albert/Simple System keywork and, as I mentioned, Mr. Tucker's horn and mouthpiece look rather traditional.
Mr. Tucker seems to have a whole bunch of media on the web. I just googled "Shankar Tucker" and came up with a Wikipedia entry, his website, his SoundCloud, and links to his YouTube channels. If you want to get the exact equipment he has, you can definitely shoot him an e-mail, but I've gotta tell you that the equipment might make it easier to sound like him, but that sound's going to fall apart very quickly if you don't have the technique. He might have some good suggestions on what to music/etudes/techniques to study, though. Just reading his bio page offers a few suggestions. Looks like the above video does, too (I didn't watch all 13 minutes).
That's actually more a description of a wind controller. Which isn't exactly what OP wants (IMO) and that's not what's used in the video. Audio processing. Post processing. Looping. Effects. (You could also consider "overdubbing" part of post processing or looping.)But I'm sure you could use your clarinet pickup fed through a synthesizer to make almost any sound you want.
It's neither a solo (which means "alone"), nor is there any piano. There's a guy playing a keyboard synth. He's playing an electric bass line on it. You're also not hearing just clarinet: there's bass and a variety of percussion, in addition to all the clarinet effects I mentioned above.Mark said:Is this song a solo with piano accompaniment or are those all clarinet sounds that I am hearing?
Soft, squishy pourous pads will give you the ability of soft transition from note to note. it's kinda like having a leak then harder pressure closes the leak or the pours get filled and lifts the air pressure to normal.RE:
