Thank you so much to Artifact Percussion for sending me these mallets, and thank YOU for watching this episode! I'm so glad we have so much more mallets to choose from these days.... anyway, if you're going to be at PASIC, PAS Hong Kong or our recital let me know in the comments below! I leave next week so the next 2 weeks are going to be INSANE - subscribe to my vlog channel to keep up with my travels czcams.com/users/idreamdance #TheStudioFamily
Hey! Long time viewer, first time writer. I'm actually going to be a PASIC competing with the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith Percussion Ensemble. I'm totally going to try and catch you at the meet up but I do hope to see you at some time. Big fan! Keep it up!
That's awesome man, I hope I can see you at the performance and would love to meet you! The meetup is going to be crazy too - Rob Knopper, Todd Meehan, Drew Tucker and Casey Cangelosi are on the panel!
I AM LOVING THE SOFT MALLETS!! I had considered buying a pair but went with 0Gravity and waited for your review. I have to get me a pair of these now!! I did like the bonus sound effect during Lemuira 16:09, interesting touch! I myself have a similar sound effect! Good luck in HK! Don't forget to have fun and you are going to do great!!!
They are great! I'm still using 0G more because my preference is with lighter mallets but the artifact mallets are definitely very high quality! And yes I always scream like that.... glad to know I'm not the only one LOL Thank you so much for your well wishes
FIRST!!! Oh my gosh you played Sibelius! And a good piece too... Very interesting set of mallets. At that price point I must say that these have potential. Love the colors and names. And the toys. :)
Hey Adam! While i know its been a while, i feel that its good to say that THESE MALLETS ARE NO LONGER 25 DOLLARS, they are now a solid 30 dollars, which is still quite cheap, but does add up.
I’m in Lebanon High school. We use inovative since we are sponsored By them and my personal favorite mallets are Jim casella 1003 for marimba. And the 3007 for my instrument VIBE😊💎
Adam I've been dying to know! What is that gorgeous sounding ascending pattern you play when demonstrating the mallet's range @11:41-11:47 (sorry if it was covered in a pay video I might have missed it!) as always thanks for your content I enjoy it immensely!
Hey Adam! Really quickly, in your vibe video, there was a song written in another language that I couldn’t make out and I was wondering if you could translate it or maybe give me a link to the music, it sounded really really nice and I would love to learn it. Also I just wanted to say that as a musician I really look up to you and your vids have helped me so much. You are really great at what you do and you inspire me to do better! Thank you very much, cheers!
Hey man the song you're referring to is a chinese pop song called 'Jing Jing De' (which just means 'quietly') by the singer Harlem Yu: czcams.com/video/Ftqt447kmkY/video.html I just made it up because the chord progressions are really simple haha. Thank you so much for your support and kind words man, means a lot to me!
Hey Adam as you've gone to UWA have you ever been taught by Paul Tanner or Robyn Gray as Robyn gray is my marimba teacher. By the way you are very very good at your work
Hi Adam, I watch a bunch of your videos, and I seem to remember you mentioning a "marimba one keychain" that comes with the Marimba or something. I am just curious about that and I can't find the video you mentioned it in...😂 I'm a big marimba one fan and I might want one! Let me know, thanks.
Hahaha yes I have three of these keychains! I think it was in the very first episode - you get it with the marimba normally but I think if you ask for it specifically they'd probably find a way to send you one :) It's a nice keychain!!!
Hey Adam, I don't know when you're next QA is but I was wondering about graduating these mallets. I'm currently learning ghost garden for a percussion concert at my highschool and I have the full set of artifact marimba mallets. What do you think the best graduation of these mallets would be for a song like that.
hey adam! i’ve been watching a lot of The Studio mallet reviews, and i didn’t know if you had any vibraphone mallets reviews. what would you suggest? i’m wanting to play for marching/jazz band.
I have 5 on standby at the moment! Just got back from PASIC etc so I'm going to start working on those :) For now I'd suggest something like the Tony Miceli for something super articulate, or if you want something warmer, my buddy Drew Tucker's mallets from Mike Balter are excellent in the hand!
Hey Adam i am just getting into marimba and vibraphone and xylophone. I have experience in piano, guitar, percussion and drum set, do you have any tips for me?
Really not a fan of this company... Their mallets aren't great, and the owner isn't the nicest. It's a shame, too, because they really had potential! I haven't played with their mallets in a while, so I hope they've gotten better.

Adam Tan Now I'm not sure whether to get these mallets or the Jupiter mallets.
They sound great! Those sound good for The Spruce and I imagine they would be good for any piano transcriptions
IBTwist They do work quite well for those piano ripples!
Aaron is my lesson teacher!!!! he’s great!
definitely need to consider getting a pair of these, i need to expand my mallet collection hahaha
Yessssss would recommend!
I like the marimba sound effect at 5:17 it's nicer~
And mallets are okay. You sounded good. ^^
#gonnabelit
And the micarta joke wth... (but i laughed)
Hahaha that's not a marimba, it's just a bongggggg sound! Thank you 😊

The toys are a highlight... and thank you so much for watching!

There's a new marimba mallet line from Artifact called the VC series - they have a very warm sound with very little attack. Check them out!
I've wanted to try them too! Hope Artifact sees this ;)
Hey Adam, I'll be at PASIC too--hope to run into you!
I thought you might be Doug based on your previous vlogs ;) hope to meet you also!!
Hey Adam! Please review the Innovative Percussion Pius Cheung graduated mallets!! Thanks
Definitely want to man!
I’m in Lebanon
High school. We use inovative since we are sponsored By them and my personal favorite mallets are Jim casella 1003 for marimba. And the 3007 for my instrument VIBE😊💎
Hey Adam, you should review the IP Soloist Series, they're essentially the IP equivalent to the Van Sices and as of now they're my go-to mallets
Hey Adam, love the gear reviews, could you review the Pius Cheng mallet by innovative percussion?
Yessss I want to!
The Spruce❤️
Kohei Sakai So good hahaha
When’s the live thing?
What's a good brand for marimba that's good quality but also not a ridiculously expensive price
Have you considered reviewing the 0gravity Percussion Mars series mallets? I am quite interested, thanks!
They’re sending me those very soon!
=D

Thank you for watching William! It's just a C major broken chord going up in inversions hahaha, glad you like it :)
Root, 3rd, 5th, Root
3rd, 5th, Root, 3rd
5th, Root, 3rd, 5th
You get the idea

YES see you there man! Can't wait to see your performance too :)
Hope resta jay will also sponsoring you mallet to try haha !!
Hahahaha THAT IS THE DREAM!
See u at PAS HK!!!😆 Can we have a review on the resta jay momoko kamiya series?🙈🙈
Yes and yes! Can't wait to meet you, and yes I'll probably steal Therese's set when she comes over here :)
It's been almost 2 weeks from that Q&A and you're close to 6k? Everybody has to chill 😂
Hahahaha I know right... so fast 😳
Ever heard of GY percussion (it might be YG) theyre a brand in china whose marimba mallets are rather cheap but good
Never! I'll have to investigate...
Hey Adam! Really quickly, in your vibe video, there was a song written in another language that I couldn’t make out and I was wondering if you could translate it or maybe give me a link to the music, it sounded really really nice and I would love to learn it.

Hey Adam as you've gone to UWA have you ever been taught by Paul Tanner or Robyn Gray as Robyn gray is my marimba teacher. By the way you are very very good at your work
You should do Pegasus percussion next! They are even cheaper than this!!!!(I think lol)
Isabella Argueta Yessss I've seen them around, see if they're interested enough to send me any...
Hi Adam, I watch a bunch of your videos, and I seem to remember you mentioning a "marimba one keychain" that comes with the Marimba or something. I am just curious about that and I can't find the video you mentioned it in...😂 I'm a big marimba one fan and I might want one! Let me know, thanks.

When are you going to sound test the vibe mallets 😔
Filiberto Landaverde Next week man! I have six lined up over the next few weeks haha
?
I recorded all the vibe mallets in my collection in a week and I'll be releasing the reviews over the next few weeks :)
hey adam! i’ve been watching a lot of The Studio mallet reviews, and i didn’t know if you had any vibraphone mallets reviews. what would you suggest? i’m wanting to play for marching/jazz band.

Can you play Catching Shadows by Ivan Trevino?
when you squeeze mallets where do you squeeze them?
Under the base of the head, because that will tell me how loose it is
lmao at 3:11 😂
Glad you liked it ;)
Hey Adam i am just getting into marimba and vibraphone and xylophone. I have experience in piano, guitar, percussion and drum set, do you have any tips for me?
What are the notes you use in your sound test?
Just a C broken chord - C C C C C C C, C E G C E C G E C :)
Mallets sounded good, you sounded bad
10/10 ign would buy it
Thanks for being honest 😂
Really not a fan of this company... Their mallets aren't great, and the owner isn't the nicest. It's a shame, too, because they really had potential! I haven't played with their mallets in a while, so I hope they've gotten better.
