Fantastic info

Hello Cory, thank you very much for the video you made on the topic of Marimba. The information you shared based on your experience was really very useful. I want to know if you know of any website where I can download the sound of each marimba key independently. I am conducting a personal research project on the marimba and the sound files I have managed to find usually include the sounds of the marimba but are accompanied by other instruments or are marimba song files. But what I need is the sound for each key of the marimba.

This guy thinks he’s got it going bossa nova

Super helpful info; thank you! I've always been told to aim for the center of the marimba bars, but you're right that you get a lot more resonance aiming a little below center. I'm definitely going to give the sticky note trick a try as well and may encourage my students to do so when practicing (I'm a front ensemble tech for a local high school). Thanks again!

What is the other instrument that the bell player is playing called?

I have to implement the arpeggios and inversions into my practice! Very smart way to blend scales and technique into one exercise. Thanks for the inspiration!

I'm a total beginner and my teacher just assigned this one for me, hearing someone actually play it has helped so much with figuring out how it's supposed to be read, thank you!

great work, sounds fantastic!!

at my school for the single strokes we do 123234 for marimbas and 1234 for vibes Glock and xylo

Very helpful! Thanks :)

Nice dynamic control. Thanks for posting.👍

How long would you say you warm up for?

Great video. I always tell people to make sure their warmup works general technique but also has specific things in it that will help you with the current pieces that you're working on. If you're not playing a piece or don't plan to play any piece that has triple laterals at 140 bpm, it's probably not a good idea to spend 30 mins a day doing triple laterals in your warmup. Lol.

Yo how does this guy not have subs

Whats up its been a bit. But i have a request because im struggling to learn some music its a timpani piece called Maverick by Thomas A Brown and i was wondering if whenever you had time if you could play it because i have no idea what it is supposed to sound like

Your other dog flicking in the background at the beginning kills me lol

Hmm, one curious observation ..when scrubbing the tom to get that rubbery reverberative tone (appx 4:40), the down pressure on it seems to shift the drum's pitch into intonations that I think don't agree with vocal key ..even though the key is somewhat monotonal. The next time you two perform this you might want to tune the toms so the scrubbed tone complements the pitch of the vocals ..that tone will be more important to match than their natural, transient pitches (i.e. when they're tapped/hit, I'm not sure what the proper term is), because the natural transient pitch is not sustained, if I had to compromise, I'd favor the scrubbed, sustained pitches. Not your down-voter, just spitballing.

Sarah has good tempo.

This is a great resource. Thanks for making these.

I love your editing.
