MY HOMIE NEVER FIXED THE D NATURAL!!!

[@alyssar7477]

I saw that. Everytimw a key came undone I laughed because my band used to use a glock that when u hit certain notes really hard they popped off. And it didn’t help that the glock was on a diagonal.

[@xPhantomIndustriesx]

And the b flat

[@DzNuts404]

Oof

[@screwdriver4644]

[@alyssar7477]

For anyone who read my comment last year on this video in 2017 about how salty I was about how my tech gave the xylophone part in my band which was easy for me. According to a very trusted source he gave me the part because he that I was annoying so he put me on the most annoying instrument. And I like barely talk ever I’m a very shy person. Yeah so anyway basically the worst instructor I’ve ever had because of that and because he like never showed up so we had to like teach ourselves everything which also caused a lot of drama

[@anirregularmovie4617]

6:55 rip aretha..

[@Fake_ZLJuan]

This is mind blowing cause I’m the xylo for dobie high school in Houston Texas and I have four parts I have to play (xylo, crot., Bells , and crash cymbals. You can check out our show if you look up “dobie high school band Channelview 2018” our show is called angel in the architecture and it awesome, this gives me so much confidence because I’m a freshman and still have 3 years to learn how be as good as Michael.

[@xCentauri]

ItzJuan X weird flex but ok, shouldn’t be hard, you have a director who marched Vanguard so I mean...

[@thadiamond1667]

[@pukc7232]

anyone know what mallets he uses?

[@advirus6879]

QuickPellea No but I am quite curious as well

[@andrewmelita400]

Doplin Flavvindorf all of them.

[@magoosalazar7840]

What was he playing when he played on the pad during the snare feature in the ending?

[@alyssar7477]

I have a question that’s hopefully someone will try to answer. I saw that when he played he was playing on the outer side of the resonators not the inside of them. Y would u play on the outside because I don’t think it makes a difference besides the fact that playing on the inside is easier.

[@KeWDu]

I know you asked this a month ago, but I have an answer. It is a preference of sound. Some people believe that playing in the center of the bar creates a better sound, while some feel the same for just off of the resonator. I've been told to play both ways, so it's probably just what he has been taught to do.

[@danielkuhn4360]

It's probably too hard to play every note in the center of the bar at these speeds

[@ItzEnder27]

My favorite parts are 3:20 7:07 and 9:30 Pd: I like that red mallets

[@ItzEnder27]

He aged out in 2018 the new drum set player is called Michael dy

[@ronald6838]

Yes he is. In the Blue Devils 2019 he was out. Someone named Micheal Dy replaces his spot. I think it was because Zach started in 2016
