Tooth pulled

[CrufflerSteve]

Had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled at once. Had a 2 hour big band gig the same night (playing lead). I was bleeding horribly but felt no pain. It sucked and was awesome at the same time... It actually was a good concert, I played prety darn well for just having 4 teeth pulled hours earlier.

If you were in some kind of Goth band it would have been awesome. The lead guitar player drooling blood.

WOW I wouldn't thought you could play a trumpet after dental work due to pressure.

And that is the big myth to brass playing. If you are efficient with your airflow, there is no pressure!!! The secret to successful brass playing is efficient air!

The only qualitive "pressure" that will exist with proper air supply is the pressure of the embouchure (lips) pushing against each other. There should be no other "pressure" in the throat, jaw, against the horn, etc.
