oh and they're the Zeltsman series. I also highly recommend.

[abmiram161]

1. Its a Marimba One, great instrument. I recommend.

2. I used Stevens grip, and personally I don't think crossed grip would be the easiest choice for this piece, but I'm sure someone could do it if they tried. Post a video so we can see!

3. I was a senior at Lake Oswego high school

Pretty sure those are Zeltsman mallets, and to all of you guys arguing about what grip is better, I would like to just say get a life. Who cares about who holds their shit which way? I personally play Stevens but I won't get in your face if you don't. People are so stupid, quit wasting your time arguing with people you don't even know, and you will never be able to prove which grip is "better." Spend time getting marimba chops and less time arguing about grips on youtube

What's with the tip-toes and high wrists at the end? haha

@Drumbreak1 Softer sound.

I'll be honest.

II Mvt. - One of the best I've ever seen. (Except that little hiccup)

I Mvt. - Almost tasteless.

I personally would have gone MUCH softer for the first movement and changed all 4 mallets for the second movement.

I understand how much work went into this performance and its overall really good. I wasn't trying to degrade your performance

[uzielochoa8a8a8a]

this is really neat. My Percussion teacher went to the eastman school of music. Andrew Fuhrman.

[ronbydolphien]

Quite impressive. I enjoyed the performance.

The Marimba One instruments are usually up there with the best made. They have a lot of great features with a reasonable price. If you want to hear another good marimba, check out Kori. They're not heavily advertised in the states, but they're really nice as well.

@Roadside7035: Why do you have to be ugly? There are pros and cons to each grip, and these have to be weighed for each piece.

Are you in a music school now?  Eastman perhaps?
