[KristaViveiros]

Traditional Grip?



[drockwilliams]

thanx (:

[drockwilliams]

what grip is she using?

[dylstick3]

@drockwilliams Cross Grip it looks like. (Essential Burton grip, just with the mallets switched around)

[dylstick3]

@drockwilliams essentially*

[nickrothouse]

great job!!! beautiful instrument and playing!!

[BeakismEIU]

btw the 5-note slaps are a lot easier if you lift the end of the mallets without the heavy weights on them.

[BeakismEIU]

Ouch tough break in the section with the RH slapping the 5-note chords - the one part of the piece where wrong notes stick out so much. You did a good job not making faces when you hit the bar posts early on - sorry that sounds pithy but that's really hard to pull off. I ALWAYS make a face if I hit something other than a bar lol. You are also a little tall for this piece - LHS is not a tall man - you would be doing your back a huge favor to raise the height of the keyboard.  Nice job!

I liked the part where she played the marimba.

Asian's... I swear I wish I was born with their talents...

[3clipse1326]

Great job! Very well played.

[xtwotheesee]

didn't know Leigh(t) had a t......ugh solo's like this. Check out my technique type solo that don't sound like anything pleasing to the ear, i feel like that this is seen alot with the solos written by the "pioneers" of marimba playing. Or if it's not pleasing to the ear it same the motif played 1000 and 1 freaking just to add 3 beat melody in mallet 4 every phrases

[Iorek56]

Very tasteful.

[REGILUE]

Might have used rubber ones until she could play it all the way through

[prodegyX7]

i wonder how many pairs of mallets she went through learning

[REGILUE]

What mallet choice would be great if you would tell me? Your so amazing on marimba!!!

[marimba152013]

I would love to play this piece!! You did amazing Noriko!

[turtlewings]

I saw a video the other day of a guy whacking PVC pipes. This is much better.

[JUSTONEEEE]

@turtlewings Reddit sent you?

[Benefit1970]

Timing is off.

[Snipes08]

@Benefit1970 but it is still a great performance......

[PercPhreak]

@Benefit1970 READ THE FRICKIN DESCRIPTION WOMAN!!!

[RJdrum10]

You are very good. How long have you been playing Marimba?

[xTaylorCrazyx]

so I guess after you learn this piece you get a gold marimba to play on? That's cool haha. Great job!

[oxysean]

why are japanese women so much better at the marimba? speaking of which, what kind of marimba is that?

[prodegyX7]

this video is just fucking amazing... svet stoyanov did this song... im a big supporter of him... honestly you did it much better

[marimbatyler]

!! I love this preformance. This is easily one of the best I've seen of Rhythmic Caprice. I love the intensity at which you play it without it sounding frantic or harsh. Awesome! :D

[PeaceLovePercussion]

Omg... this... is so great. :)

[eyebalie]

Fantastic, Noriko!!! See you later today to play some Lyle Mays!! :)
