Screamer

A trumpet player who plays incredibly loud in the upper register. Usually in the double c range and at double forte to quadruple forte.

Jesus Christ, did you hear that!?!! He played like a triple G! My dog's ears are probably bleeding after that one.

Notable screamers include Maynard Ferguson, Bill Chase, Eric Miyashiro, Wayne Bergeron, Mark Zauss, Arturo Sandoval, and many others.
