Jeff Moore has a GREAT handout in the Percussive Notes archive (PAS). Several others contributors to mill through on the archive as well. (Potter and Burritt come to mind)

I think a good piece to practice independent left and right hand rolls is 2nd mvt of Ney Rosauro’s first concerto for marimba. Hope to see your comments on this. All of my respect, from Costa Rica. ✌🏼

I use this sticking pattern in triplets while holding perfect 5ths in each hand: 343 212 343 434 | 212 343 212 121. I start in C and move up the keyboard chromatically at about 80 - 105 BPM depending on what it even rhythmically and relaxed/legato in the hands. You'll notice that each triplet is in either the right or left hand. This pattern is RLRR LRLL with triplets in each hand stroke a compound paradiddle (The marimba 'Shirley Murphy' for you drum corps fans)! I first saw this exercise in Michael Burritt's lesson hand outs and have seen it reprinted in Percussion Tech textbooks and various articles, including my own PAS article "Singles, Double, Triples.

Im in love with Eriko 😍 haha she's so beautiful and play in the same way... When I practice marimba roll I start with a 4th/5th interval with rythmic modulation (from quarters to 32's) at a slow tempo, then I open or close the interval to its maximum and minimum spread, then speed up the metronome 2/3 numbers and again the same. All of this with mirror or parallel hands.

I learned a numbered technique builder and warmups: Numbered: Starting with the lowest (left) note mallet, 1, then up to the last in the right hand (probably 4, but could be up to 6), use these permutations: Slow to fast, back to slow. Slight accent on the first of each group of four: 1234 (then reverse) 1324 (then reverse) 1243 (then reverse) 1423 (then reverse) Then shift the starting note over one, the second shift. So, 2341, 1432 3241, 1423 2431, 1342 4231, 1324 Then one more, third, shift (A fourth shift would just be the reverse of the first groupng, so you now have all the permutations) Think of them as rhythmic inversions (of which they are!) Warmups: When in the hall but not near the instrument, have your mallets, and on the back of your arm as if it were a marimba bar. LEft, then right, very softly but bring the mallet heads up at least 4 inches. You can do these exercise on a flat surface (best), piano, guitar fret board, etc when a mallet board is not available. If you are doing these with just fingers, (as on a table or piano or board), do them lightly - no need for any FF here - and tips up at least to 3 inches above the plane. Doing with just finers use your thumbs and little fingers as subs for he mallets. Remember, doing these without mallets is buidling your coord and stamina and muscle memory. Will inderectly tramsnalte to when you have the mallets. Try not to use mallets on a piano keyboard, though!

I don't think there is anything wrong with bringing the wrist up higher to have the angle larger between mallets and keyboard, to have a mellower sound and poofier attack (especially in left hand) it can actually be a little easier technically, too sometimes

@DanLoFat7 жыл бұрын
I like how she has marked her mallets (for density/dynamics) on the handles - looks like colored shrink tubing - which would be good for non slipping and wouldn't feel all that awkward, and would probably help prevent those inevitable early blisters (because we always forget we will get them and forget our box of Band-Aids!) RE: Band-Aids - a trick I learned from Dean Gronemier while at NIU, he used the pads of band aids lining the pads up where the sticks make contact, ordinarily to the skin but now not so much, then the blood would build up, and we would get calluses before the skin broke! IT really save a lot of blood and pain. No pain = No gain isn't Always needed.
