BASED Chris octave lateral vertical stroke paradiddling runs at 2,391 bpm god

[@the_mangerine]

I'm genuinely in complete awe at the sheer skill people in top front ensembles have. I don't think I could ever even dream of becoming this good at mallets, this performance is absolutely insane.

[@pacibels_cannon]

Marimba chops are crazy

[@SWilla00946]

you def can If you're a high school student rn, then you have the time to get to his position. Your biggest barrier is you. (And if you're not in hs but still dci age , you can still get to a top front itll just be a bit harder. )

[@_tayp8850]

@@SWilla00946do you have any tips or anything you can share? I also want to get to his spot but I don’t exactly have access to a marimba all the time. Currently a sophomore in high school, and also just don’t really know what to work on

[@cocoafox]

@@_tayp8850 the truth--and one of the unfortunate realities about this activity--is that the best way to get good at playing music like this is simply.. playing music like this. or slightly easier than this. that's why it's very rare to see someone come into a corps like BD as a wgi/dci rookie; the chops you gain by playing in a lower-level world class corps, or a higher-level open class corps, are very difficult to replicate by just playing concert percussion or doing warmups in a typical practice environment. it's possible to do, but it takes an understanding that you're directly competing against people who will have spent 1 or more summers doing nothing but this for weeks on end

Ima try my best but prolly won’t make it that advanced😂

[@hichloesvlog]

Bro @ 12:35 I LOVE THAT PART I keep watching that on repeat ✨️

[@VeeVer.1]

[@OliviaGraceCrochett]

I get to be center marimba next year (I'll be a sophomore) bc all of our other mallets are graduating, which is great, but I'm gonna miss them so much

[@chrisnott7686]

Ever? Not even close. But still a very good ballad.

[@johnnydasuper]

it is so beautiful! I was familiar with the song before BD used it this season. I am so glad they chose it. It is a beyond beautiful song!

Dang bro jumped from Xylo all the way to center marimba

[@bauerdrums72]

What camera did you use to record your headcam?

[@chrisnott7686]

Gopro hero 11( I think)

[@BreadHere]

i got bored and learned the intro cuz marching season is over for me and i miss marimba lol

[@ethanol3800]

I feel that

[@danielsenzaki8768]

What kinda of camera are you using?

[@pacibels_cannon]

Just wondering, is it better to hit off center on the bass barss on 4.5 and 5 octave marimbas?

[@chrisnott7686]

It is all subjective to what type of sound you want to create! It also varies depending on what type of keys you’re playing on but generally hitting dead-center will sound more round and slightly off-center will be more sharp/articulate and clear, especially if you hit the keys harder

[@pacibels_cannon]

@@chrisnott7686 Thanks man! Just started having access to a 5 octave marimba and that advice helps a lot ☺

[@NohtanoNohtano]

No because he really hit that hoe at the five minute mark where he used the shaft

[@randycolaianni4937]

Whoever thought putting the cam on a marimba player was a good idea was way wrong. Nauseating at best. I could only watch for a couple minutes and listened for a few more. Sounded like it was really good but could not watch.

[@shadowkille8r99]

So instead of clicking off the video you decided to…leave a comment that no one asked for?

[@randycolaianni4937]

@@shadowkille8r99 I put in the comment hoping that this group doesn't do that again. If it bothered me, I'm sure it would bother many more. What do you mean nobody asked for? What is this comment section for? LMAO

[@Bike36_]

I understand it could be nauseating, but i personally find it pretty nice, and you are definitely not in the majority. I think a better way to say it would be that the group(s) definitely won’t change just because of your opinion, so your comment seems unnecessary to other people.

@@randycolaianni4937 you don’t have to watch it 😂 just because YOU get nauseated doesn’t mean the majority does
