  • Thanks for all your comments, If you have any questions ask by private message

  • wow this is definatly one of the best videos of this ive seen.

    i just started working on this today, and im having alittle trouble getting the base line played smoothly, just wondering...about how long did it take to learn this piece to the extent you played it in this vedeo?

  • Thanks a lot,

    I did that performance about two years ago, so I'm not sure how long did I practice it but as I can remember it was like few months or so.

  • You guys are all talking about correct height, posture, etc...

    Did you notice that this guy is performing a solo? He doesn't have to match anyone else. His posture is apart of the music. I can guarantee that, with chops like that, this musician has gone through all the studies of posture, played more scales than he can remember, etc.

    I've never played this piece before, but it seems to me that this performer doesn't miss a beat. He looks like he has total control. Great job with musicality!

see all

  • I'm a freshman in college learning this piece and it is hard..... I can barley play half of it at like 1/3 of the tempo.... this is a great recording of the piece though

  • Great performance. This solo looks like a better workout than ZUMBA. Lol

  • @Ostraconophobia Thank you! I hate when people are nit pickey about posture in marimba playing.

  • My friend played this for her junior recital. It was wonderful. It's a great piece.

  • such a beautiful instrument. marimba one marimbas are so well crafted

  • just sht myself

  • Wonderful, sensitive playing. Who is the soloist?

  • is a 5 octave marimba needed for this? or can it be played on a 4.3 octave?

  • Beautiful piece indeed

  • Marimba One is a beautiful make for this sort of music:-) Well-played:-)
