  • @xXJosephWolfXx

    haha, that's me!

  • nice! i saw your halo theme song video first i can really hear it now good job!

  • how soft of mallets do you play with? using a softer maallet make the bar vibrate more so it soungs like your rolling much much faster:)

  • just noticed that this is 2008 vid, i bet you pwn at it now? :p UPDATE VERSON PLEASE!

  • really good try! :D

  • not to hate or anything, but it doesn't really sound anything like halo

    the rolls are pretty choppy and you rush most parts and slow others down

    this is my marching band show and it sounds more like halo than this

    sorry

  • ehhh....its o k but you should really work on reading the sheet music for about a week once i find the sheet music for it and learn it ill play it and put it up on my channel if you still have it then PM me...P.S we use standerd excelence book not the one you have lol

  • dude call the instument what it is- a MARIMBA

  • bad technique

  • did you try it on a vibraphone?

  • I wish you could use a metal Xylophone im learning it on that so if you can please do it on xylophone TY :D Nice job BTW

  • Wheedle u get the sheet music

  • good men exelent

  • A few mistakes, and a little choppy, but other than that, it's pretty good!

  • if thats a marimba, its small.

  • Best version I have seen with Xylophone, Good work!

  • hey man cool theme where did you got the score?

  • quick tip. try to lean into your next note when you roll. that way it doesnt sound so choppy. other then that, prett good

  • Yeah, i know its a marimba. I figured most people would know what a xylophone was but not a marimba so its just in the title.

  • @justin2867 Well a marimba is a type of xylophone.

  • @justin2867

    You were actually correct. A marimba IS a xylophone. It would be the same as referring to a bongo as a drum.

  • that's a marimba, not a xylophone.

  • :D HAH this is too cool! few missed notes but hey, still cool :)!

  • sweet!!

  • Wow xylophone is a very nice instrument! Halo's theme sounds great on it! very nice! :)

  • Veree good ^o^ Must of taken ages to perfect in your own. thumbs up and 5 stars. Great vid, kid.

  • really nice...!!!

  • way to connect those rolls together. Not.

  • Where can I purchase this music?

  • @11Yupo11 from me

  • PERFECT!

  • that is awsome love to hear u play in 10 years

  • Also as a debate on the xylophone deal, this a Marimba, it typically is bigger has more and resonates more, hence the longer resonators. An Xylophone typically has shorter resonators and has a shorter sound, usually used for keeping time in professional ensembles. A vibraphone has a pedal and is made of medal and vibrates the sound for a long time and is typically used to make chords with Multi-Mallet Technique. Glockenspiel ( Bells ) is just a metallic sound that doesn't resonate.

  • Good Attempt, I recommend using softer mallets in the beginning, they're easier to roll with, also try doing octaves in the beginning, another thing is make a decision in your playing position. Either for the center of the bar or the very edge, I recommend the Center bar but the edge if you have a fast run where it's hard to reach the center. Also I'm not sure as it could be your mallets but i hear like a thudding noise when you hit the keys It could be from the bars hitting the wood underneath.

  • the begging is supposed to be legato so hold those rolls out longer and watch ur forearms try to keep em still just some tips keep up the good work

  • very impressive

  • Wow i got suprised only one try and it got epic here 1:05-1:29 your good for first try at it at lesast your WAY Better then me!!

  • thats a merumba not xylophone

  • amazing

  • A Marimba is A type of Xylophone, Just like Organs,Keyboards, and Pianos are all Keyed instruments.

  • that ain't xylophone.

  • yes it is u retard...

  • Comment removed

  • well kinda... lolz

  • not bad.u had some mistakes..but not bad.......better than most ppl haha xP

  • sorry to ruin your moment but its a marimba not a xylophone

  • it says that he knows it's a marimba in the description dipshit

  • @steelfootballplayer A marimba is a type of xylophone. Xylophone is a general term meaning a mallet played keyboard instrument. The variations are the metalliphones, such as a vibraphone or glockenspiel, and the marimba which is usually bigger, extending into the low range, and made of very sound resonant wood.

    -TheFoolhardyMusician (aka - Insom)

  • Quite literally, xylo means wood. So no, not all mallet instruments are xylophones. You could make the argument that a marimba is a type of xlyo, but the technique used to play it can be quite different. I recommend using rear fulcrum for Marimba mallets and front for the Xylo, for example.

  • @steelfootballplayer how can you tell?

  • @x360z0cker hard to explain but its just easy xD

  • @steelfootballplayer "hard to explain"...you cant tell if its a marimba or a xylophone if you cant explain how, because the difference is clear..

  • @steelfootballplayer but in those lower tones, its hard to tell for me, because it could also be a warmer sounding xylophone...

    anyhow, i too think its a marimba! xD

  • @x360z0cker :P

  • @steelfootballplayer

    Except that a marimba is a type of xylophone. So, the poster is actually correct.

  • fav part :o1:04

  • you mess up on some notes put overall its good

  • great man

  • where do people get da sheet music for all these songs.

  • your´re real good

  • connect the damn rolls! they are good but just connect em

  • Connect your rolls! If your teacher was anything like my percussion instructor, he/she would hound you all day about that. Otherwise, if you don't slow down, you'll be able to do great things.

  • can u send me da music please

  • it was nice the only thing u need to work on is ur timing and holding out ur notes other than that pretty nice

  • onlyting i got to say is slow down a bit u got the notes down but u still need to hold out notes and pause between certain notes

  • This is really good you have an awesome teacher to tell you to do a halo song , can you send me the sheet music?

  • Man I started marimba about a year ago and realy wish I could play this song any way you can hook me up with the notes?

  • can u send the sheet music for this

  • ditto

  • Please make a better audio-quality one.

    Its awesome! :D

  • Talk about originality

    good job dude

  • a little too bad u are a little bit faster than ur vid with original soundtrack, but still this awesome!!!

    i can only do this on guitar...

  • sounds funny on that (to long to spell :))

    yer gd job

  • The best I've done on the marimba is all of the super mario themes you'll here. Overworld, underworld, underwater, Bowser and all of that jolly stuff.

    I fer sure need to learn this.

    Can you give me a link to the music for this?

    If you can't I understand.

    It's cool.

    ;D

  • holy damn your good homieee. shizz!!!! .... speechless.. wow.

  • do u think u can send me a copy of that sheet music what grade are you in well this year im going into be a freshman at my highschool but when i was in 7th grade we played that song and it was awesome

  • do you think you can send me a copy of the sheet music for this?

  • pritty good

  • It's interesting that you call the video Halo Theme Song Xylophone, yet you say you played it on your teacher's marimba, which it is. Fishy? =P

  • ouch at 0:41 wrong note

  • yeah i heard that

    it will be about a year or 2 til i can even do that

  • Nice essential elements book on your stand there lol. But that's alright, i still paly out of my snare drum one =]

  • cool

  • Pretty Good, not perfect but good,my 5yr old Bro calls the Flood on Halo:CE Potatoes

  • nice job.. im a percussionist as well you should work on rebound strokes so you are able to pull more sound out of the note and work on even rolls.. besides that it was good

  • hey dillhole if you were a percussionist you might know its called a piston stroke dumbass

  • Well dang what the fuck did he do to you?

  • wow

    cant you just tell him and not yell at him

  • its ok everyone makes mistakes u dont have to be ashamed of it

  • haha nice bro

  • There were a few sour notes here and there and your tempo is all kinds of inconsistent, but still, that's pretty cool.

    Almost makes me wish I stayed on the saxophone. :P

  • noice, noice, your tooo good thats soo good. and this is chandler

  • Just are you kidding me thats amazing!!! Btw This is skyler

  • What kind of fulcrum are you using. Front or back.

  • thats good man

    i respect you for taking lessons in this instrument its not everyones choice and seems quite hard

    good luck

  • you suck???? that's a wrong awnser whith this!!!

  • thats a marimba not a xylo

  • wow that was kool

  • what kind of mallets are those? dont know much about marimba, but ive only seen the kind with hard plastic and the yarnish type... those look like timpani mallets, kinda.

  • just so u no that is the esntal elements book on that stand and i just started playing mallets in august and we are already out of that so...

  • i dont even use that book... its my teachers, i have the song memorized, thats just whats sittin there

  • stil its an pretty easy song

  • its not THAT easy... the way its written if you read it off sheet music, itd be a pain in the ass... its suppose to make "suspense" but it just makes it a bitch to play : /

  • today alone i figered out about half of the other halo theme on the marimba and lik i said i satred in august

  • Well... post a video... prove it. idk why you have commented on this video 4 times to say how easy it is and stuff... i dont care. what do you want, a pat on the back???

  • friedoyster, with all due respect, this song is a pain in the ass if you actually try to play it at the right tempo with the right dynamis and crap.  no one really cares that you figured out the notes if you cant play it well like this guy.

  • thats classic man i cun't even do one note

  • hey, this isnt quite a xylophone. I know you probably used xylophone to rack up the hits. But this is a marimba. Repping the marimbas!

  • lol i know, i did it cuz i dont think anyone knows what a marimba is 0.o

  • yeah you could have said it was a marimba but then explian in the info that a marimba is basicly a xylophone with wodden keys instead of metal keys

  • whoa there buddy. Vibraphones have metal keys. Marimba's are a mixture of wood and fiberglass. Xylophones are entirely fiberglass.

  • Xylophones aren't necessarily made of fiberglass

  • true true. my apologies.

  • If you could memorize it, and get the speed up, it would be fantastic. Not that this isn't good. This is pretty good, but more speed would add more excitement. Good job though.

  • notes to intro plz?

  • this version might be a bit different...

    (all the F's and C's are sharp)

    e,f,g,f,a,g,f,e

    b,c,d,c,a,c,b

    low b,d,e,g,a,f

    e,g,f,e,f,d,e

    and ill leave you to figure out the rhythym....

  • you fogot the flats all of the Fs r F#s

  • right. Em...  thanks

  • i have the same band book but i play Trumpet

  • love it :P!
