My friend and I were just talking about tone production two days ago. We reciently discovered that our four mallet grip (we both use Stevens) wasn't quite the real thing, so these past few days we've been working on getting the right technique, while producing a better sound on the keyboard
Hello. Thank you for the videos. Its really a big help. I'm just starting to learn stevens grip actually for college, and I was looking everywhere on how to start out and this helped alot. :)
I've talked about tone a lot....but I have to say what is really fantastic about this video is just to be able to watch what your hands are doing up close. I have tried maybe 10 times to read Method of Movement and have never been successful because there are just too many WORDS...it's much easier to watch and learn. Thanks again for doing this!
Last week in chamber we spend about ten minutes discussing the playing area for the marimba. Also what is a good way to practice your four mallet sight reading for marimba? can you give me an advice on some good books.
Tone production is a constant discussion where I study. After all, our sound is what we get paid for. Every percussion ensemble rehersal, especially the first few, and every lesson addresses this issue. The main conversations I have with my instructors has two topics - beating spots and stick choice. My instructors are super super picky about mallets on every instrument except snare drum, which has a perfect stick.
Timpani, marimba and multiple percussion is a constant source of decisions
Thanks for posting, I hope to see more of this. As for your question, I've only had brief discussions about marimba tone quality... it's never been my subject I guess, I need to experiment with it more.
Thanks for posting this. I would pay for episodes like these. Please watch my videos and give me some feedback! I'm a young student who's looking for advice. Greetings from Sweden

Just a question, do you have a video on how to do the 4 mallet grip? I'm trying to figure out how to do that
