Unfortunately the space is too boomy for a good sound. All you get is this big cacophony of noise. Also, the soloist is lost in a sea of boomy drums. They need to understand their role in an ensemble when playing a piece with a featured instrument.

yeah. i agree. it needs more dynamics. and you
joerules03. the whole thing doesnt need to be fun and lively. all the parts have different moods.
but anyway, it was really fun to listen to.

amateur hour man its just noise there dymnaics for a reason, with the right instrumentation and techniques it will be more exciting then loud and nasty
-
This is so awesome and crazy it makes me smile! LOL!!!! I Love the marimba dude.
-
I thought it was great.
-
i disagree
-
I don't have any problem with the arrangement, yeah their not doing the dynamics but who fucking cares? This isn't reflections on the nature of water. Its a groove, show-off piece!! It needs to be fun and alive, and yes it should push, no reason to sit in the pocket or on the backside of the beat, this thing needs to cook, even if its at the expense of a little clarity or accuracy.

Wow,
you people posting on this guys site are real assholes. Who the fuck are all you to be so mean? try using CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Sound is completely different live then on a camcorder. Grow up, it was a fantastic performance especially for high school

yeh go out and buy it its at steve weiss

that stuff is crazy. i just saw that at a college perc concert. and you did well for a high school.
Wow, horrible choice of mallets and the accompanying voices were far too "wet" for the hall, making everything just a noise.
Nice attempt.

DIdn't you ever learn if you didn't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all? Listen buddy...we weren't auditioning for the NY Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall. It was a high school ensembles concert.

Not to mention that this was recorded on a consumer camcorder mic, and sounded a lot better live. If you think you could do better, please direct me to one of your videos.

sweet marimba playing. it puts me to shame, but what's with the 7 extra percussionists? when i did this, there were only 3 extra parts....

We wanted the entire percussion section to perfom, not just a few of us. This included freshman-seniors. Obviously this would take away from the clairity, but we were going for overall look and feel. Keep in mind that all the battery was inprov. except for the one middle part.
