I hate to be the one to criticize, because it was a good performance, but starting at 6:41 what you're playing is just plain wrong. You played variations in that part that aren't even close to what's written on the page. Still, with that part aside, it was a good performance. Some note issues, but other than that part at the end the rest was good.

This is the second time I've heard this piece. I really like it and I have the music and will begin learning it around January. This is a really great interp. I enjoyed listening to and watching this performance.

I also really like the Van Sice mallets. I'll probably use 114s in the top three when I learn this piece.

@scifidrummergeek So glad you enjoyed the performance! Thank you! Good luck with the learning process and shoot me a recording when you have it completed. Would love to hear your interpretation!

Great job man. I'm trying to learn this piece and your interpretation really helps. What mallets did you use?

[rchwastiak]

@jkwillis09 Thanks so much my friend! Good luck with the learning process! In this performance I used the Vic Firth Van Sice models. I believe two M114s in the right hand and two M113s in the left!
