speaking of grips have you seen theodore milkov. he's uses the old musser? grip. he's the heaviest marimba player i've ever seen. independence like i've never seen.

[percussionnow]

Yeah, he's great! But I think he uses traditional cross grip, same as I do.

[TashaTurner4561]

I liked your tempo it was pretty, but it kept it flowing. Do you also know stevens? I am switching back and forth between both and I am still trying to decide which one gives you more accessibility.

Nice job :]

[percussionnow]

The best grip is one you feel comfortable with, doesn't mater if it's Stevens, Burton or traditional.

I know some people who used traditional for years, but changed to Stevens just to be cool:) Doesn't make sense.

Tomasz! Very nice performance! I met you in Germany, my name is Andrea (from USA). My boyfriend and I asked you about your mallets during the Keiko masterclass. My student found your video and sent me the link and I knew who you were! Hope all is well.

[percussionnow]

Yeah, I remember:) Nice to hear from you, I'm glad that you like the performance.

[proman2world]

hey if u have time, could u direct me to where i can buy this from

[iluvperkushun]

great interpretation. Would have gone for much softer mallets though. Good job!

[MegaBigo1981]

very good

[yvonneyvonne123]

Very nice! This is very different to play.

[iluvperkushun]

very nice!! I prefer the tempo to be a little slower. But you have beautiful phrasing and by changing the tempo drastically you've highlited the sections of the music which helps us feel the form of the piece better. Awesome climax at 1:46!

@iluvperkushun that was supposed to say that cross grip gives you less mallet independence as stevens grip but tends to give you a fuller, fatter, and full bodied sound.

[iluvperkushun]

@iluvperkushun I use stevens grip because my hands are suited to "fit it." Really, what it comes down to is your own personal comfort and you can become adapted over time to whatever grip you use most. Doug Walters at Univ. Colorado @ Boulder uses traditional grip in one hand and burton grip in the other hand. Just figure out what suits you best. Good luck!

@TashaTurner4561 the stevens and a stronger, full quality of sound. Everone has different hands though and what works for me might not work for youwill give you much more accessibility in terms of mallet independence. Cross grip tennds to give the marimbaist more body .
