[@nathanreno-winters8732]

Those octave runs right out of the gate kill me. Sooooo good.

[@spigoteps]

same

[@johnwitherspoon1723]

I would say that SCV has godlike percussion, but all of SCV in general is godlike

[@zackh9614]

I think he used every single note on that marimba at least once

[@cationicgolf385]

as opposed to my show where i was stuck in 2 and a half octaves all show lol

My favorite person from Santa Clara Vanguard is Brandon Cummings. He is my idol.

[@somberoceans]

Emerald Pikachu i wanna be an scv marimba too! hopefully we both can be one soon and meet. it would be really cool. i hate that i can’t audition for the 2019 year but hopefully the year after i can.

[@emeraldpikachu8842]

I have years to go until I can audition. I'm currently 13 so that gives me about five years to practice. I already know the opener for the 2018 show on Marimba plus the ballad from 2016 so I'm on my way to becoming an SCV Marimbist.

[@somberoceans]

Emerald Pikachu i LOVE that dedication dude. i really want to learn 2016-2018

[@emeraldpikachu8842]

Thanks man! I'm really trying to get myself a heck of a lot better. If you want to learn the music then: 2016: Musescore (score01) "Santa Clara Vanguard 2016 Full Show (COMPLETE)" 2017: Musescore (TheMTCrew) "[WIP] Santa Clara Vanguard 2017 "Ouroboros" - Read Description! - Updated 3/29!" 2018: The opener for Marimba is on "Sandi Renneck's" facebook page from his post made on July 8th saying, "Click to see Isabell throwing down! So proud of VP18." If you go into the comments then you will get the Marimba part posted by Sandi that gives all the stickings as well.

[@somberoceans]

Emerald Pikachu dopeeeee im definitely gonna check these out

[@smoke_stacks]

easily the hardest marimba book i have seen in a long time

[@nolanclapp3820]

The fact that y’all can play octaves that clean amazes me

[@kecisme2691]

I forgot about the level of intensity of front percussion in DCI. These POVs have me floored.

[@drumcorpsmovies226]

I recommend watching this at 2x speed

[@zangster4708]

Is it strange that this is my definition of badass?

[@raneyboy9937]

Zangster No

[@endmysuffering102]

Not at ALL.

[@Pablo-eu5uv]

No... these people don’t get enough respect + general recognition and it totally is badass

[@hturt4]

Excellent musicality, incredible technique, and I'm pretty sure 100% note accuracy on a very difficult book. Great playing Tyler!

[@roryhemmings7860]

I never realized how much harder their show was then the blue devils, the only reason they won was because of general effect.

[@Funnybear465]

This is seriously some of the coolest shit I've ever seen

[@andrewprawat8199]

Honestly, this material is way more impressive than Babylon.

[@nzane1216]

The Rennicks are back at it again with absolutely beautiful arrangements. SCV was on point last year!

[@andreperlman8041]

Finally a Marimba cam for this show!

[@nicholasdillion6019]

I love how their touch is never too aggressive. They really let the mallets do the work, well....and the mics. BTW Does anybody know what microphones they use? They are set up perfectly!

[@granttbrown]

Nicholas Dillion I can't comment for SCV specifically, but if I had to guess I'd say they're using the AT 2035. That's the industry standard so to speak and a great mic for the application.

[@ChadPerc]

Nicholas Dillion Dynasty PA-MC110 mini condenser mics

[@nicholasdillion6019]

Chad Riley Dynasty makes microphones? Huh. Thanks!

[@XYLOBELL_]

Yes, Dynasty PA-MC110. they are modeled after the Audix-ADX20-IP. Some of them are Audix. Dynasty made some sound equipment for a hot second for vanguard when they came on board after pearl/adams. without getting into details the idea fell through. This is was at least during my time in marching with and then working with Vanguard winter percussion 2012-2016. I got to work with and see all the equipment. It works well, the sound is mostly the rosewood bars and the vibe bars. The Dynasty/Bergerault Marimbas sound great, Not a fan of the frames. The vibes are awesome because of the thicker metal and bar giving less overtones and more fundamental tone. The at2035 works , however, they sound brittle and too much attack with synthetic bars and vibes IMO. Condenser mics in a live setting have a huge issue with feedback. the nice thing about the Audix and Dynasty is the more focused polar pattern (the area it picks up sound) so it will feedback less. Personally I still stick with an SM58 for all HS applications, especially indoor drumline. If I have a marimba lower than a 4/3 (low A) Ill use something like an AT2035 if possible. Any large diaphragm mic will work as long as it can handle the amount of SPL(volume) a marimba will give at its loudest without distorting.

[@luckystiff5695]

It also helps that they're using the IP Sandi Rennicks series of mallets, which are fantastic for micced keyboards.

[@Peterpalombipeoples]

I have waited ALL SEASON for this

[@gannenthompson6922]

OML this is one of the most amazing videos i have ever watched!!

[@richbrass12]

It's really impressive to watch this

[@ethangrubb8318]

Alright let's put this in the list of shows that should have won

[@saltwestlo5023]

Those Bergerault marimbas sound so good

[@theyluvReed]

Fr my second favorite sounding 5 octave. My first in the marimba one Izzy 5 octave it sounds great and gas suspension, there are many advantages to it. I also love the ym-5100A they are also my favorite resonator shape.

[@jakobschoenfeld]

You're killing it, Tyler

[@OPTRsgtbear02]

He did it so clean that it looks like he’s airing the actual music 🤤, I want to play contra for then so badly

[@Aguiar412]

Imagine getting your show music and the first thing you see is octave runs

[@zackh9614]

Can we just talk about the first 20 seconds of this video

[@danhurd1333]

Extremely impressive Tyler. You should send this to Berklee and Juilliard and see if they'll just hand over a few advanced degrees. Joking? No.

[@hturt4]

What an awesome book.

[@jayprivacy1900]

In high school i was a snare player, and i love battery. But as i'm older I'm so much more of a fan of the front ensemble and how easy they make it look. You all are bad ass!!! You all deserve much more credit than you receive. Cheers! 🍺

[@ThomasNeal]

I play 4 mallet for like 2 minutes and my hands hurt i can't image this guy

[@Zircon4]

Thomas Neal this may be late but I also play 4 mallets and marimba but after awhile your hands start to get calluses which stop a little pain but over time you’ll break more skin which hurts like hell

[@ralyks._rgw]

Thomas Neal you get used to it. I’m not even a percussionist but I did pit Drumline and even I got used to it

[@bruhemianbobbert7136]

Wait wouldn't doing pit drumline make you a percussionist?

[@alexpenza4380]

is that 16th note runs in octaves i see?

[@krisgarcia1711]

Amazing

[@tsound_]

Ehhhh, I don't think there were enough octaves..

[@danhurd1333]

2:33 to 3:00 .... so dope.

[@danhurd1333]

Just in case nobody noticed... That's a right-hand Groove on the ride and a left-hand living in hemiola-ville on the marimba.

[@danhurd1333]

How long did it take you guys to break that down beat by beat and get it clean?

[@allwellallgood5947]

Dan Hurd ... that was SICK! 😵

[@theman5th]

What settings were your gopro on? I have mine on 2.7k and 48 fps, but the videos are coming out kind of grainy. It might be the lighting? Usually when I'm recording it's at night on the field

[@ConnorRydland]

theman5th I did everything at 4K 30fps

[@bigtrodasmallloda2208]

that little circle part was so tight

[@briannar19]

as the synth/piano player for my high school band, i wonder how hard the music is for dci groups, especially for this piece.. very curious.

[@SilverTheFlame]

its brianna Look up some DCI synth cams, then. They're usually involving a lot of multitasking with 2 main synths/controllers and other equipment like a launchpad or aux instruments.

[@JohnGaroPiano]

brianna ramirez I was the piano player for SCV 2017. My music was mostly played with a standard piano patch and several other patches layered on top (strings, electronic effects, etc.) I didn’t have any samples; those were executed by mallet players with sample pads. Some of the music was challenging but overall very achievable

[@yokathan]

Anyone else clicked because of how cool his last name is?

[@kylesongy6986]

Ballad is God.

[@RHG_Drums]

8:08 to 8:33 is the besttt

[@jaceharris0]

After watching 47354737262 times I have but one question: There is some sort of faint bass sounds that are keeping time in sections that would be hard to play together and help the ensemble’s tempo and they sound like they would be dutting but are just bass sounds specifically for the ensemble... What are they/where are they coming from??? (you can hear them in areas like the first few seconds before he starts playing if you listen hard enough)

[@jaceharris0]

They are most obvious in areas like 0:05 and even more at 0:16

[@xCentauri]

Jace Harris It’s probably from the guy playing himself, clicking his tongue inside his mouth

[@garygordon4116]

does anyone know why he's missing the low C crotale?

[@trnny4thewin]

Hi there, I’ve been playing instruments since the third grade. I know how to read notes and count time. But this school year I’ve been doing percussion. What I’ve noticed is that on the xylophone I can’t read notes in second octave; it confuses me when it comes to reading and I find myself writing in the note names to get it right so I won’t freak out. Are there any tips that can help me with not freaking out as much?

[@tylerprimeaux575]

Daniah Colomathi - writing in notes to begin can be quite common, but I would advise to step away from that habit. The more music you read the easier it will become to recognize the notes you’re having trouble with. Sight read everyday :)

[@pokemonman957]

Does SCV have any other mallet series besides the Sandi Rennick series??

[@tylerprimeaux575]

Our vibraphones use the Anconas and Anders series, but the marimbas usually stick to the Rennick series!

[@tylergash3175]

Tyler Primeaux I have an old set of the rennicks. Are they still super short?

[@jacobtorres4540]

I know this a marimba video But what's the point of sandi rennick having vibe mallets if the vibes use anconas and the Anders series?

[@iainoam2565]

They might switch between the different series during the show? Idk just my guess

[@jelliebee_e]

HOW

[@nicks4251]

This is why he is center

[@fishdinners7760]

[@thomaspate9328]

8:25 was bomb

[@MinecraftPlayer56378]

is it just me or does the audio quality start ultra, then sounds sorta muffled, then ultra again, then repeat?

[@ConnorRydland]

Crusty Rusty the GoPro hero5 has audio issues since it is the first generation to run stereo mics, so yes that happened

[@kyleray_music]

I want to know what mallets those were

[@saltwestlo5023]

Kyle Rannell they are the Sandi Rennick series by IP... I think they are 4002, 4002.5 and 4003

[@SaneTheBro]

This guy teaches at Guardians now

At 4:11, what is that instrument the girl is using next to him with just her hands? I've never seen that before.

[@henwill8]

That's what I think everytime I hear it

[@iainoam2565]

Both shows happened to have it the same year as a coincidence. Since they both did it at the same time no one really copied each other but since metamorph is the more popular show people think it is.
