Thats amazing how you teached yourself without a teacher. As a percussion student I have to tell you that is not a xylophone that is a vibraphone. A xylophone and vibraphone are just like a piano. If you notice a piano has black keys that are a little bit above the white keys. A xylophone is exactly like that but if you see the keys on the vibraphone are all at same level.
I've played the Vibraphone piece for this!!!! Its fantastic!!!!!!! I take it the melody your playing was from a set for an ensemble, as it is the exact meoldy piece that was in the ensemble I played in.
Dude, for someone that's been playing for two weeks, this is quite awesome. And I know because I've been playing 3 years and I don't think I could pull it off.....
Post some more video's!! I'm curious about your progress since the 2 years this vid's been online.
Pretty bad technique just work on using more wrist and less arm when playing strokes, I recommend using the piston stroke, it's pretty much what everyone else in the world uses, basically take your mallets and put them on the keys, then lift the mallets up ONLY using your wrist, though it depends on the height of the instrument and how tall you are, I really cant tell you what's wrong without being there. Though I think you did an AWESOME job on the 16th note runs ESPECIALLY for only 2 weeks.
awesome job! like other people have said, try using your wrists a little more, in the end you'll end up working less. also, get some harder mallets...I believe the ones you're using right now are for Vibes, not xylophone. Really well done though, i've been looking for the music to this for years!
ok so don't us so much arm and use wat my teacher calls the piston stroke...hit the bar and bring it bak up..also don;t use ur fingers on the slow parts use ur wrist(i know this cuz i play mallets all the time^^) anyway make sure u don't click ur sticks together when playing. ur double stops need to sound like 1 note not a flam. also (use this for marimbas and mallte instrument that resonate) when ur done playing don't just drop ur mallets ur want the sound to come out of the instr. good job!
I've been trying to find some sheet music for that but couldn't find it anywhere...can you make a tutorial or post the sheet music? By the was that was pretty sweet!
PLZ HELP! me and my friends r getting a xylopphone 4 the music room @ our school!!! We want to get 1 first!!!! then we'll get more...which one should we start out with??? I like the sound of this one. what type is it??? How much r xylophones usually????? THX PLZ HELP!!!! ps GREAT job!!!!!
@soccer10123 i agree (as a percussionist I have some practice in mallet instruments) honestly, still better than I could do...though I may be able to play it with practice.....anyway, you should try the three other trills you didn't play, it sounded incomplete without them >.< lol, its good though, good job
as for performance it was pretty good but for technique your just using way to much arm....it was to come from your wrist other wise your ganna get some major carple tunnel....AND DIE!!!! no u wont die but seriosly dont use so much arm lol
that looks fun............
