Marimba - Chop Exercise

[TheGabeCapes]

Hi, i have just started playing marimba, got any easy warm up that i could show off with?

[StarKiller00123]

@TheGabeCapes I, being a marimba player, can tell you that none are actually easy, and if they are, they won't really be able to impress people much.

[popol7ik]

@StarKiller00123 what about number warmups like 8 to 1s , 4 3 2 1, and 3 2 1?

[tomatokiller30]

@TheGabeCapes there's "Take a Bow" (originally a song by Muse) that my pit plays. it's not too hard, but it's definitely cool.

[MrRidhard]

is there sheet music for it?

[margott55]

if i didn't already know how fast a pit person can move i would have said you edited it to make it fast motion

[jnydegger]

some really bad playing zones

[dasjestyr]

playing zones can vary depending on the effect youre trying to achieve. his playing zones are consistent, leading me to believe it was on purpose.

[knewguy]

Do you have the music for this??

[x0x0xStephenx0x0x]

yay

[k3nnyinab0x]

dayum pro

[lindiana628]

[jadeashley2011]

you need to teach me this.

wow that was amazing

[scissors512794]

[ndbass09]

You missed notes? I'm not saying you didn't, but I can't tell from watching, excellent job!

[lyokohero]

If anyone has the sheet music for this send it to me please i want to learn this to get better

[Dmitri8ydna]

Gay

[XylophonoGuy]

do you have the sheet music for this? cuz thatd be amazing

[singerguy93]

that was probably a bitch to play. especially since your using such soft mallets. hahaha

[crawford2007]

This is blue octane, right? The music to this looks scary, lol

[KrayzeKriZ]

Haha, yeah it is.

It only looks scary cause of the accidentals! lol.

[crawford2007]

True that. I bet it would be a lot of fun if I would just get around to learning it. I have had the music stuck in the back of my notebook for a while now.

[AErockaholic1127]

@KrayzeKriZ Do you have the music?

[zednelly]

e flat blues?

[KrayzeKriZ]

pretty much - yep.

[trueartinspires]

i didnt mean to sound like an ass on that last comment, youve got some great chops

just trying to post some feedback.

ill put some of my vids up when i get them done

[trueartinspires]

yeah all i can here is the naturals all the sharps/flats sound like tics

[KrayzeKriZ]

I only hit a few wrong notes really...so what you hear is whats written - for the most part.

[DrummerALB]

actually that's the blues scale....

[KrayzeKriZ]

yep.

[Rogers1977]

haha. My school plays that but slower with a drum machine and some cool beats. I think it sounds better slower.

[EraserMonster]

Those are some good looking mallets...

[tuneitbitch]

the mallets sound soft.

are they soft kinds for the marimba?

[meeladaudie]

Can u send me a copy of that music? 661-859-8372

[Jummyjumjum]

blue octane! well at least that's what my school calls it. its my favorite exercise :)

~great job btw

[KrayzeKriZ]

Haha yeah, that's what it is.

[kirbymelon]

accuracy > speed

[KrayzeKriZ]

Accuracy goes out the window after you don't play something for a LONG time.

[KaKatieKat]

Go Blue Knights- But stop playing on the nodes

[KrayzeKriZ]

Not Blue Knights

[zop1o]
