@mynameaborat993 Nope... the solo goes down to a low F and frequently to a low G so it IS possible to do most of it on a 4.3, but if you want to be accurate to the music, you will need the 4.6. If all you have is a 4.3, don't let that discourage you from learning it! :)

I notice that people ALWAYS play the marimba/xylophone better when they bend their knees like that!

Which 'position' or place do each of these mallets go in? I want to use the same mallets you listed, but im not sure which ones go where. Fantastic performance, too! Really helpful when im stuck somewhere to see you play it.

@kaniusone I appreciate it man! I have the mallets graduated with the 802 on the bottom, the 803s as the inside mallets, and the 804 on top. Its basically following the principle that the softer mallets in the series will produce a better tone on the bottom two octaves and the harder mallets produce better tone on the higher octaves of the instrument. I recommend that you experiment with different graduations to see which you like best... I just liked the graduation I used best!

Sir, you have truly inspired me today. That was the most excellent performance I've ever seen in my 13 years! I would like to know:
How long did it take you to learn this?

@EpicDStone Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :) I believe it took me a semester to learn it and another half semester to get the piece to how I played it in this video.
