Super Mario Bros. Theme on Marimba

[thorerik]

Billion times better than what I could have done, props :)

[kenyatyrice]

That was AWESOME

[CbarMiiXaaS]

Very well played

[yongmyster]

LOL you don't transcribe music for marimba,bells, or xylophone, its already concert pitch.

[DougDrumUltimAPerry]

@yongmyster Actually, transcription is the process of re-setting a work of music written for one instrument so that you can perform it on another. Whether or not the two instruments share a common tuning system is irrelevant.

[MatthewLorick]

@yongmyster You are thinking of transposition; transcribing is exactly what he is doing

Cheers

[lavendardust]

[musiceskool]

how long have you been playin mallets?

[DougDrumUltimAPerry]

ever since I started percussion, which was in 4th grade... so I guess 13 years? I didn't start getting serious about marimba until 3 or 4 years ago though... and I didn't start playing with that grip until about 2 years ago.

[lewisleos]

Awsome,

[kidkarate99]

nice job! What kind of marimba is that? I have an Adams 4.3 octave with padouk wood

[DougDrumUltimAPerry]

well, i don't have this marimba anymore--that one was a 4 octave musser. I sold that last summer, now I have a 5 octave Adams--robert van sice series. Adams puts out some kickass instruments :D

[kidkarate99]

heck yeah they do! What wood is the Adams?

[DougDrumUltimAPerry]

rosewood, i believe

[poptheman1]

AWESOME!!!!! I am going to play Marimba for my band!

im only in 5th grade though =[

[DougDrumUltimAPerry]

sweet! have fun!!

[stacyandjulie]

that is really awesome for playing it alone!! check out our video...we play it with 2 people!

[SushiCuzImRaw]

is that japanese grip?

[DougDrumUltimAPerry]

I've never heard of a "japanese grip".. maybe traditional grip would fit that description. But no, I play with Stevens grip, which is largely an American-born grip (maybe you could throw in a little New Zealand, because that's where Stevens learned [and later modified] musser's grip)

[linearenate]

nice music playing dude i wanna get some lessons from you on how to play so good

[trend2kill]

i have sheet music

[MattLikesMusic27]

haha thats not nearly as bad as you think. lol

good technique too.

though u could probly stand to raise the marimba a tad bit -_- lol

[darthrebelpenguin]

If only I didn't suck at quad mallets. Keep it up, man. :D

[Birdie82finn]

That is awesome. Keep it up.

[Gangsta69err]

DATS PRO keep it up

[jrockergirl13]

sweat

[youarepwned]

nice coin sounds. They sound just like the real game.

[DrummerMixer]

go on google im ages and type super mario theme sheet music look through theme and there should be a piano version but you can can play with 4 mallets like he did

[Maikel2play]

Good job,

Where can I find the sheet music of this beautiful song on marimba???

[DougDrumUltimAPerry]

Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't have any sheet music. Sorry :[

[FabledLoser]

d=( ^o^ )=b

AHHHHHH

I Love Super Mario Bros.

And I Love The Music Even More

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Great Job!!!!!

[diamondgal08]

omg thats awsome!!!!! ur really good!

[zkateordie]

DUDE keep it up its very good really im not a lyer or joker i think this was cool mate keep it up please =)

[ezjoint]

thats sick at first i was like this sounds sweet then i noticed the four mallets great job!

[Betterthanklayworld]

that was tight!

[Doinstuffman38]

Sounds fine to me. If you thought it was bad, let me say it's better than anything I can do.

[kumiko808]

FOUR MALLETS! AWESOME JOB! 5-starred immediately. Great phrasing!!! :)

[mystuffandthings]

DUDE! he does it with 2 sticks in his hands!!

it really sound great!!!:)

[hypervoy]

good job man!

[MilliMeterPeter7]

i though it was really good.

[epiphonearecool]

thats ace

[Benson098]

where did you get the music for this?

[DougDrumUltimAPerry]

i learned it by ear, no sheet music. sorry!!! :<

[bbclanuk]

Don't do a very good job this time around? Are you kidding me?? That was amazing man lol, awesome job!

[X0xDrakanx0X]

very impressive goodjob

[orihimeh]

i am still amazed to see people play this with four mallets, even though i've seen it for two years. xD but, the more and more i watch, the more i think about how hard it is to handle all four with to eyes and just your knuckles.

[songthai1]

dude SWEET!!!

i say alot ppl playing marimba

bud i never say this before

nice

most of the ppl play this song with 2 ppl bud no u play it on or own. awsome

i hope im gona be that good one day

[Uhiwi]

I don't know why you think you did so terrible, that was great! Most other videos I see of the marimba have two people and you managed to do it just as well by yourself. That's something to be proud of :P

[Peergy]

Bonito, bonito, bonito, bonito!!! q guay!! mola mucho, ya quisiera yo tocar la marimba y no el violonchelo!

[bandgeek4realz]

oh my that had to be hard im working on 1 part as a middle schooler and its SOOO hard to do all 3 parts dang you got tallent!

[iCe1984zz]

nice! next time put the snares of the snaredrum off, they rattle along with the high tones :p

[joshomobos]

When you have ares, download it by documents and then mario sheet music.

[lesclaypool17]

i wanna play this so much.when i asked in a music shop if they had the sheet music they laughed at me.they're soooo snobby.did you get it off the internet or does anyone know where i can get it?

[DougDrumUltimAPerry]

i know some people said they found it in some earlier comments, you should check that. I don't have sheet music, sorry :[

[acdcbag78]

pretty rad

[goarmybeatnavy12345]

sounded kinda weak, but it was still cool

d=(^.-)z

[Yakamashimaru]

man, i feel so behind...i haven't even learned to do 4 mallets yet! but i'm gonna try out for the b.a pit, and broken arrow won the grand nationals in 2006, so they're really good. good job!

[nick912012]

Yeah... We got our asses kicked by Broken Arrow at the St. Louis Regionals. We at least made finals, but our two performances were just poor.

We did a lot better at the Broken Arrow competition a week or two prior to Regionals, but Broken Arrow wasn't competing in that one.

[Yakamashimaru]

Cool. What's your band? And I never really care for judges. It's just an opinion rating for them.

[FXIllusion13]

sick

[SmixProductions]

im learning this right now on marimba and i learned it from music and by watching the music and watching and hearing u play the notes u r almost right on it 5/5 nice job!

[Yakamashimaru]

Where'd you find the music? I can't find it anywhere?

[SmixProductions]

i just searched online: super mario bros sheet music and clicked on a few sites

[l0c0m0nster]

dude you are awesome

keep rockin

[rolphy5]

i could play the marimba for hours

this song is one of my favorite on 4 mallets

this guy has the works even got the vibes next to the marimba

[geekboy617]

Where did you get the music

[DougDrumUltimAPerry]

i learned it by ear. i'm sure you could find some music online if you look around. check back in the comments, i think this came up earlier.

[hollybuffy]

you rock.

[hollybuffy]

something ive been trying to work on that you show very well is keeping the mallets that ur not using very still while the others play. like in ur left hand

[DougDrumUltimAPerry]

yeah, that's definitely a pain in the ass at first. there were some great exercises in the Stevens method of movement book that helped me with that, check those out if you have that book!

[hollybuffy]

thanks for the advice ill check it out !

[Nivek150]

If you stare directly at the sticks, it sometimes looks like he's holding more than two. :P

[trogdor7190]

He's not holding 2 sticks, he's playing 4 mallet

[hoppeppers]

yeah hes holding 4. 2 in each hand

[Nivek150]

You're a lot better than you said you were. =) Does the marimba work like a piano/keyboard?

[DougDrumUltimAPerry]

Yeah, the keyboard layout is exactly the same as a piano keyboard. just the keys are a lot bigger ;D

[Nivek150]

Alright cool. =) So I basically know how to play marimba. =P

[DougDrumUltimAPerry]

sorta.  ;D

[iwiwiee]

thats awesome!:)

[yokaiviolinist]

thanks!!

[yokaiviolinist]

hey where'd you get the sheet music???? i want it! it's really actually very well played!

[DougDrumUltimAPerry]

sorry, I don't have sheet music for it! I learned it by ear over the course of a couple years. Glad you enjoyed it!

[yokaiviolinist]

ohh i see! that's cool, I'll just do that then! Yeah, it was great!! :D

[kerrydubu]

this is so cool!

[lucentbeam]

!! Excellent!

!!!!!!!!

Really.

That sounded fabulous.

[marimba1980]

I enjoyed the piece very much! Great job dude!.

[kiyoshimo]

That's amazing!

[carmatic]

[WidgetPro]

[tvterrence]

[jogocown]

wow dude your really good

[QBCNetwork]

Cool marimba version of the video game classic.

[Nihoggr]

Yes the bass and lead was great! Looked amazing. And sounded awesome :)

[andrew17660]

Wow. Nice job man. I see very few people who can play the bass and lead to a marimba song at the same time.

[invalid92]

WTF your teacher is Robert Van Sice?!!! No wonder you have such beautiful technique. Damn.

[luke182777]

ahah that was awesome! :D

[percussionman07]

that was awesome!
