This is a disapointing post. Fades destroy the music, sounds like happy go lucky rubbish.

In fact the repetitions should go on and on until something emerges,

steve reich . .. that's a phase all drummers go thru waka waka!!

Don't be so ANAL! hahaahaha :-D

I like this post very much. It is a small sample of the rehearsal filmed from different angles (I guess they had only one camera, so they did it the best way possible).

It is so ridiculously pretentious to say something so obvious like "the point of minimalism is repetition until something emerges blah blah blah". It makes you sound stupid, this is a youtube video that has another point of view, if you want to listen to the music buy the CD.

That's why it's called "rehearsal", folks.

@subreal007

Completely agree!

Actually breaking such a composition at any point is wrong. But

in five minutes they could have put just Pulse (the beginning)

and THEN fade out

[Rinhos]

too hard mallets :D Reich wouldn't agree. However compliments, playing this piece is my impossible dream!

@calamantara Haha that made me smile :D And No. Incapable is the word.

I actually meant in THEIR recording - the CD recording lol - there are plenty of disgusting mistakes in this one.

@amistrymister

Hey Mister Mister: I'll start using proper english when you do.

"GVSU are so darn lazy" Subject verb disagreement.

"...marimbas are incapable." Wrong word--I think you mean "incompetent" (which is something you're clearly familiar with)

I'm sure there are four mistakes--go back and count, you missed some intonation problems in marimba I.

[amistrymister]

@calamantara What the hell are you saying? Learn to speak English.

[calamantara]

Amistrymister are so darn full of laziness, for sure the laziest poster ever. There is somewhere between 4 and 4.5 mistakes in this recording for sure. Don't be so lazy. You are 5 fingers have on each hand, USE THEM! Otherwise you is incapable.

[amistrymister]

GVSU are so darn lazy. By far their recording is the worst out of the 5. And the first and second marimbas are incapable. they can't do offbeat chords in one of these clips. Did you know there are over 3 mistakes in their recording? Awful.

Steve Reich not being Youtube friendly argument is truth.
