Moon, by Adam Tan (world premiere performance)

[@JJJBoys]

I guess you can say that’s Adams marimba

[@saltwestlo5023]

JJJ Boys badumm tsss

[@AdamTanPercussion]

I was JUST WAITING for someone to say this... you know someone actually came up to me and asked if I owned the brand LOL

[@williamshipercussion]

@@AdamTanPercussion was that Therese's marimba?

[@AdamTanPercussion]

@@williamshipercussion yes it is!! Good spotting :)

[@AdamTanPercussion]

This is the first of a few 'Song and Dance' uploads coming this week, as well as the new marimba duo 'Meet Again'! Thank you to everyone who supported us in real life and on the stream, it means a lot to us! Make sure you subscribe to Therese too for more marimba videos: kzbin.info And of course you can get this piece RIGHT NOW at www.adamtanpercussion.com/download :) #TheStudioFamily

[@sfivsbebrgishlbefi]

i think ill just have this on loop for the next month

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you Andrew!

[@stephano447]

playing this at .75 is how i get in my feels

[@jaytubing607]

Haha, I’ll try it too

[@mintsurvivor7722]

Beautiful as always!!! Also sweet tux!!! Red is my favorite color, seems to suit you really well!!!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ahahaha thank you! I probably won't wear this jacket anymore though, worn it for at least 3 years ahaha

[@Andriale]

I personally think it sounds even better at a slower and more emotional tempo, great performance!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Me too! Now I wish I didnt record it so fast ahaha... thank you :)

[@maddox4897]

I’m so happy Adam has made it this far, you’re doing a FANTASTIC job representing percussionist and showing how the marimba is truly an amazing instrument

[@EpicProvider]

beautiful piece, if i was still in school i would totally play this as one of my recital pieces

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you man! There's no reason why you can't just play it for fun ;)

[@MarimbaMaurice]

That part at ~3:00 seems really hard. But what a great piece Adam!

[@jaytubing607]

Yeah it really does look hard! Especially keeping the piston stroke going, I’m still learning how to play faster with 4 mallets.

[@monkeyepicify]

sounds like a studio Ghibli piece

[@AdamTanPercussion]

If only ahaha, thank you :)

[@jaytubing607]

I agree, either that or another anime😎

[@alexpullen7276]

Awesome Adam such a lovely piece!! And I love the sound of the alpha!! :))))

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Yes it's a great sounding marimba! Thank you man :)

[@malharlakshman]

This is so good, the progressions have even more depth with the overtones at this tempo. Well done

[@AdamTanPercussion]

I think so too, thank you man :)

[@jaytubing607]

I hear people in my front ensemble playing this, so I asked what song it was, and now I’m here! I just really love listening to this!!

[@davidvladovsky1962]

ahh that chinese/cantonese vibes

[@junethanoschurchill6750]

yaasssss

[@AdamTanPercussion]

yaaaassssss

[@Mia-hj2ls]

*marimba (hehe)

[@jaytubing607]

Kenny Yeah

[@carychuah1309]

Adam playing on Adams!... Nice playing!

[@songbirdincorporated]

I love your work Adam! This has to be one of my favorite marimba solos. Keep up the great work ^^

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it :)

[@songbirdincorporated]

Adam Tan No problem ^^^^

[@maccody3139]

Awesome performance Adam I can tell there was lots of feeling behind your playing, great job!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you man, there was this time for sure :)

[@allenlouanglath1318]

I’m seriously considering buying this piece and playing it as a solo at my chamber ensemble concert

[@kaylaelzie4808]

i would love to play this omg ❤️it is so beautiful 👏🏾

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Please do!!! I'd love you to :)

[@Infinitlylaconic]

You're killing it Adam!!

[@mackenzieusher8025]

Great piece, bravo! It was a pleasure to listen to. The marimba needs more accessible repertoire like this, for players and listeners alike.

[@TheZebraz1]

wow hearing this makes me want to cry it’s so good

[@jaytubing607]

I really want to play this like the people in my front ensemble, but I’m still learning how to use the 4 mallets even better. I just started using 4 mallets this year, and I’m still learning the right techniques and trying to perfect it! One day I will learn how to play this song though!! 😎🥳

[@christophereverett276]

im actually thinking about playing this as a prepared piece going into music school lol

[@hanxia6087]

It’s a mixture of Chinese music style and Adam style 😃

[@ClassyXxGamer]

Awesome performance Adam! Love this piece!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you so much!

[@moirbasso7051]

Lovely. I'd like to learn this piece (if I ever get this good).

[@savisbaddd]

what a beautiful performance. congratulations adam!!!

[@satomizukutomekitoari6144]

So beautiful! Thinking about using this for my future drum corp auditions! 😍

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you man! Hope you get to use it :)

[@trevorsams6318]

Beautiful!

[@telloox2003]

Beautiful.. im glad I discovered this :D

[@thejleeproductions]

This reminds me of Final Fantasy for some reason

[@AdamTanPercussion]

I got that impression too when I first heard it!

[@mackenzieusher8025]

Personally, it reminds of this one from Chrono Cross! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZKln4msbpebi7s

[@nilshigdon]

Cool piece! I love pentatonic stuff. I think you used the pentatonic scale once or twice in here. :)

[@brockfreeland7115]

so good :)

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you Brock :)

[@danieljungwirth7751]

Why is this giving me some nostalgic Naruto vibes

[@Katorade]

i thought the same thing haha

[@재효박-m7k]

Sound is veryvery beautiful😃😃😃what’s the name model of mallet??

[@keithfriestad3949]

Mike halter keiko kotoku. They are really great (I have some) but they are discontinued.

[@tomsmith2417]

Those octaves that fast… how

[@taemonge3835]

that low e on the ascension is classy i'll def do that too

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Yes sometimes I do that without even thinking about it ahaha... I'm glad you like it!

[@raulosuna8174]

Beatiful

[@spugucci1148]

This sounds sooo GOOD. I’m planning to do a marimba solo and I like the orient and asian vibe it gives does anyone else know any other good one too?

[@liyana_ngel]

Looks like I have a new marimba piece to listen to when I wake up and before I sleep ❤️ #marimbaenthusiast

[@biggysmoovemusic7777]

I'm thinking of Performing this Piece for solo ensemble next year.

[@iKentEven]

Mr. Mitch Infinit AKA: BiggySmoove I don’t think it’s applicable for competition anywhere yet. Otherwise I would play Path for state this year.

[@biggysmoovemusic7777]

No big problem. I have other pieces of choice.

[@iKentEven]

Mr. Mitch Infinit AKA: BiggySmoove But Adam Tan should somehow get his solos eligible for competition in Texas Wink Wink

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Funny you say that Kent... we submitted Path and Moon for consideration in the Texas area ;)

[@biggysmoovemusic7777]

Well I guess I might perform it after all

[@johnsivertfrystad3720]

Which mallets are you use??? Love the sound, and the piece❤️❤️

[@connormeissner3089]

So talened

[@shadowlapras2673]

The main melody reminds me of Lugia's Ballad

[@duskmoon6391]

Great performance what method u use for 4 mallets

[@JesusGarcia-ub7yg]

austin moore He uses Stevens grip if that’s what you mean by method

[@duskmoon6391]

I ment grip it a Monday

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Yeeeees I'm a Stevens person ahahaha

[@michaelpolheber2173]

Reminds me of satorl marsh from xenoblade chronicles

[@shavedbird694]

getting zelda vibes

[@davidlemper3843]

why tf am i here im majoring in flute

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ahahaha move to our instrument!!

[@thangaraninavaratnam3143]

Asean countries the names

[@thejazzman5231]

this fit is way too snazzy adam

[@zachwax22]

*kaching*

[@AdamTanPercussion]

💸💸💸

[@zachwax22]

Adam Tan OMG a KZbinr replied to my comment!!!!!!!!!

[@joe-dc1fe]

I heard a lot of mess up compared to the first time he played

[@danielmahanpour8285]

relaxednine 226 no one’s perfect :P

[@joe-dc1fe]

ya but he made the song so he should know it perfectly

[@JJJBoys]

relaxednine 226 even if he knows it’s perfectly it doesn’t account for accuracy and nerves

[@junethanoschurchill6750]

His video debut was almost certainly the best of several takes. You can’t do multiple takes during a performance.
