Frank Van Heyghen Not yet Frank! I really want to as I have good memories using someone elses Ludwig alberts when I was in school! And yes I just noticed too ahhh 🤭 I think I plugged them in reverse by accident hahahaha
Hey Adam, I was wondering if you have taken a look at the marimba solo I sent you at the beginning of December? If you can't find it, I'll be more than happy to send it again.
If you keep using the electric scale to weigh the mallets, I would recommend putting a cup on the scale and then push the tare button to zero it out. Just put the head in the bottom of the cup and presto you can weigh the whole shebang!
Wow, i think that you deserve way more subscribers, just, your editing resembles that of someone with 100k. Love your content. could you do a video on dci playing sometime? Thanks, much love
Is the excerpt from Lifelight from an actual solo written for Marimba that is available to purchase, or is it just a quick arrangement you made for this video? I’m just curious because I would love to have it in my repertoire😂
Very nice review! I am doing White Knuckle Stroll for my school's solo ensemble contest this year (I have a video of me playing it on my yt). I also own the CGL2's.
M Cubing I have played on the Izzy, 3100 and soloist frames and I’m fairly certain the sound difference is coming more from the bar selection and resonator choice - I think the soloist frame is more because it’s fully wood and wood is more expensive than aluminium 😁
Hey Adam, I bought some custom zero gravity mallets back in October. They were supposed to get to me sometime in December but they're still not here. I got them because of your video on them and was wondering if it's a common problem. I hope I didn't get scammed
@@AdamTanPercussion Oh no, thank YOU for letting into the final cut! And not-so-coincidentally I'm planning on performing White Knuckle Stroll for my recital this yeah ahaha
Hey man! Depends on budget, but popular light mallets are the Stevens and Burritt series from Malletech! Vic Firth Van Sice is also pretty easy to control :)

Interesting review. Thank you. Did you ever review the Ludwig Albert series? On a side note: your L/R channels have been reversed somehow.

Adam Tan hey, can you make a video with bogdan bacanu adams mallets, very interesting mallets, wanna know your opinion about these
Wow! Thank you, Adam -excellent review. Loved the side-by-side White Knuckle. This is so much fun, keep up the good work :)
CaseyCangelosi Thank you Casey! Maybe one day I’ll be 10 per cent as good as you 🤣
bruh you're kinda epic
I love the cangelosi mallets! Their balance forced me into a more healthy technique. My fav choice
Maximilian Kühnel That’s a good way of using them!
Adam. I absolutely love your videos. They’re always so helpful and entertaining. Keep up the good work
Joaquin Guzman thank you so much Joaquin! Means a lot to me!
adam tan i love this video - belmont
You should have to try some mallets from "Bluehaus Mallets"! In their site you can make your own mallets
If you keep using the electric scale to weigh the mallets, I would recommend putting a cup on the scale and then push the tare button to zero it out. Just put the head in the bottom of the cup and presto you can weigh the whole shebang!
Stephen A. That’s a clever way to do it!!! Thank you for suggesting! Only thing is it doesn’t look as aesthetic in the shot HAHA 😂
@@AdamTanPercussion Get a clear glass cup from IKEA. Those things are aesthetic as hell lol
@@AdamTanPercussion weigh with cup, video without it, problem solved
Wow, i think that you deserve way more subscribers, just, your editing resembles that of someone with 100k. Love your content. could you do a video on dci playing sometime? Thanks, much love
You are too kind man! Just glad to have anyone watching at all! I don't know much about DCI playing though cause I never did it :(
Thank you for using a scale for the weights!
Is the excerpt from Lifelight from an actual solo written for Marimba that is available to purchase, or is it just a quick arrangement you made for this video? I’m just curious because I would love to have it in my repertoire😂
Nicholas Bush Hahaha I made it up for this video on the spot 😁 it’s such a catchy theme so I couldn’t resist
@@AdamTanPercussion Aww man lol. If you ever feel like fully fleshing the arrangement out, I'd buy it in a heartbeat😂
Very nice review! I am doing White Knuckle Stroll for my school's solo ensemble contest this year (I have a video of me playing it on my yt). I also own the CGL2's.
Jonas Tech You can definitely play better than me then 🤣
HI ADAM TAN I LOOOOOOVE CASEY CANGELOSI HE IS MY FAVORITE . HAVE U HEARD OF JAZZ ON SATURN BEST PIECE EVER RELEASED
Yooooo Cangelosis!!! I seriously love these mallets. I just wish I was more used to the weight 😅
Ryan Carlisle Yeeeess they are heavy!!
Great review!
Thank you man!!!
Nice video! I'm just wondering why the marimba one soloist frame is more expensive than the others. Does it make it sound better?
M Cubing I have played on the Izzy, 3100 and soloist frames and I’m fairly certain the sound difference is coming more from the bar selection and resonator choice - I think the soloist frame is more because it’s fully wood and wood is more expensive than aluminium 😁
yES, I wanted these mallets SO bad so now I can see if they’re worth it
MrMooney Ahaha hope this helps! I think they’re pretty cool!
*sad opera music* “A recently discontinued collection...whichwewillnotname”
AND SMASH BROS IM DYING
Ahahahahaha thank you for appreciating my lame jokes 😂
Hey Adam, I bought some custom zero gravity mallets back in October. They were supposed to get to me sometime in December but they're still not here. I got them because of your video on them and was wondering if it's a common problem. I hope I didn't get scammed
Hey man! That sucks ! I think I heard that you can call them at (940) 320-9183 to fix orders if anything happens. Hope you get your mallets soon :(
Did you get the mallets
Could you do a review on the Marimba One Beverley Johnston series and also the new round sound models together with the old ones?
Randy Tan Yup definitely will be on the next ones! Thanks for reminding haha 😁
Hey I'm in this video! :O
Yes you are! Thanks for the idea ;)
@@AdamTanPercussion Oh no, thank YOU for letting into the final cut!
And not-so-coincidentally I'm planning on performing White Knuckle Stroll for my recital this yeah ahaha
Could you do a review of the matt savages from malletech?
I know you just made that ssb theme on the spot but can you please make some sheets, I need them!
Ahahaha there are some free ones lying around of the main melody, then you just have to make it marimba-y :)
1:14 lol
Does buying the mallets give me the inherent ability to play the smash theme or do I have to pay extra for that? :)
Hey Adam! What would you recommend for a nice lightweight pair of mallets for a beginner?
Hey man! Depends on budget, but popular light mallets are the Stevens and Burritt series from Malletech! Vic Firth Van Sice is also pretty easy to control :)
What was the name of said discontinued series?
The Chicken Bro The NJZ series but it’s now been rereleased as the Artisan series 😁
@@AdamTanPercussion I had no idea they'd been re released!!
Yes me neither until I saw them at PASIC! Pretty sure they're identical to the NJZs :)

Exsqueeze me?
