    Firstly, I am not a professional! If you want pro advice I recommend watching Marimbalogy, Casey Cangelosi, Rob Knopper, William James et al. These guys do AWESOME technique videos.
    Also, this is an exercise I came up with, but I'm sure there are many that are similar to this, so I don't own it or anything. It's just to help you guys out :)

    New #TECHNIQUETALK episode! I love this two-mallet exercise - it's easy, flexible and can be done anywhere with any instrument, or even no instrument! You can download the exercise PDF for FREE at www.adamtanpercussion.com/download :)
    Let me know if you like this exercise by giving me a thumbs up above and I'll continue to do more! #TheStudioFamily

      I have a fun exercise for you, it's called broccoli. four mallets, A(1) E(2) G(3) C(4), then the pattern is sixteenth notes, 1234-2341-3412-4123, each for a full measure and walking up a whole step for each change in pattern, then you do the same pattern moving up every two beats until you reach AEGC an octave higher than where you started. Then do the same thing going down but now the pattern is 4321-3214-2143-1432 using the same note change pattern. The rest of the exercise uses the same beat and note changing pattern as the first half except now you do 1234-2341-3412-4123 and each gets one beat, same thing descending. That probably makes no sense.

      Like the exercises. Good for beginners. What tempo settings & which metronome can we use for practicing.

  • @LiamHosty
    @LiamHosty Před 7 lety +18

    You should try to play marimba with gong mallets😂

  • @em-zr8bi
    @em-zr8bi Před 7 lety +10

    can you do more two mallet exercises

  • @owenmarkwart4430
    @owenmarkwart4430 Před 6 lety +6

    In America (or the people that I know) count sixteenth notes as "1, E, and, a"

    • @AdamTanPercussion
      @AdamTanPercussion  Před 6 lety

      Mmmm yes I always forget to count like that in videos haha, but I count like that too normally :)

    • @Ray-ij8ot

      Hahaha maybe one day I'll get to be a real one! Thank you :)

  • @geluk_425
    @geluk_425 Před 7 lety +6

    I feel like maybe it would make more sense in the these exercises to keep the mallets at the same height

  • @xMinecrafter2013
    @xMinecrafter2013 Před 7 lety +11

    Can you make a video on more comfortable chord positions? I play vibes in my school's honor jazz band and there is so many uncomfortable feeling chords with 4 mallets

    • @AdamTanPercussion
      @AdamTanPercussion  Před 7 lety +5

      Frost Bite Thanks for the suggestion, that's an interesting one! I'll look into it 😄

    • @AdamTanPercussion
      @AdamTanPercussion  Před 7 lety +1

      NyoomBot Ah that makes sense. well at least if I say it like that no one can be like "wowww you think you're sooooo professional" hahaha 😂

  • @noahgormanmusic1843

  • @TylerJHaley
    @TylerJHaley Před 7 lety +1

    • @AdamTanPercussion
      @AdamTanPercussion  Před 7 lety +1

      TJ Haley Aw man that's awesome! it'll be digital to save shipping costs :) Thank you for watching!

  • @goatmagic5220
    @goatmagic5220 Před 7 lety +1

    Hey man love your videos. I was wondering if you could recommend me a GoPro that gets a decent audio recording of the marimba. I want to start doing head cams and stuff for marching band / winter drumline, and I'm not sure which to get. Also keep in mind I can't spend a lot on it, so I'm not rly asking for the best possible quality, just the best for the money. Thanks!

    • @AdamTanPercussion
      @AdamTanPercussion  Před 7 lety +1

      Jaden D Ah okay, anything from 4 onwards higher than Silver is pretty okay, just don't expect crystal clear audio unless it's the Black 😉 awesome idea though!

  • @itspedro2350

  • @alskyfajardo7361
    @alskyfajardo7361 Před 7 lety +6

    1) I'd get that solo so fast and would put it on youtube as fast as I can.
    2)excerise for chromatics?

    • @AdamTanPercussion
      @AdamTanPercussion  Před 7 lety

      Al Sky Fajardo Woooo at least I know now one person will play it! thank you 😄 and I'll come up with one for chromatics!

    • @ParkerMeek
      @ParkerMeek Před 7 lety +2

      Al Sky Fajardo CF is a great chromatic exercise

    • @aiden1367
      @aiden1367 Před 6 lety +1

      There is a exercise called 7/4 (which is what my school calls it) and basically you pick any scale, and in 16th notes you play a chromatic scale up (ex : c major, c to c) then you play the actual scale back down in 8th notes.

  • @cmcaggia3
    @cmcaggia3 Před 7 lety +1

    hey Adam! you may have answered this already but is there a reason you relax your hands and let your fingers go at tacit, rather than reinforcing an upstroke or anything like that? just for comfort or endurance or?

    • @AdamTanPercussion
      @AdamTanPercussion  Před 7 lety +1

      cmcaggia3 That's a good question! I like to let it go because it means I don't feel as tense and I can play for longer periods of time this way, it may not look as stylish but it works better for me 😄

    • @cmcaggia3
      @cmcaggia3 Před 7 lety +1

      Adam Tan yeah that makes sense!!! I figured it was intentional. thanks :)

  • @steampunkhulk5559
    @steampunkhulk5559 Před 4 lety

    Do you have a video about tone quality on a marimba? Like what sound your trying to achieve while playing. I have started to become more in depth in practice and want to know if there is a baseline to strive for or not

    do you have any exercises to do if you don't have a marimba.

    • @AdamTanPercussion
      @AdamTanPercussion  Před 7 lety

      Princelonestarr You can do any of my exercises without a marimba, just use your hands on a table or mallets on a practice pad 😀

    Hey so i'm a freshman in highschool and ive been playing mallets for 2 years My teachers think i'm advanced enough to play the solo "Yellow After the Rain" it's a beautiful piece but i want to go to college for mallets. What do i have to try our with? (Snare, timpani etc.) and what solo should i learn next? Ive been playing Yellow After the Rain for 4 days and i have it memorized its just the execution now and just getting it down.

    • @AdamTanPercussion
      @AdamTanPercussion  Před 7 lety

      Virtual Genius I'm not too sure what you need for high schools in the US but most percussion auditions you'd need some snare skills and timpani yes! my friend Rob Knopper can help with those: czcams.com/users/robknopperstudio

    • @AdamTanPercussion
      @AdamTanPercussion  Před 7 lety

      and awesome that you've memorised Yellow! Keep it up 😀
