My favorite marimba feature of all time by far and away, you played it absolutely beautifully

[@calebcameron4021]

This is so amazing! Best thing I’ve seen tofay

[@Myname1swalterhartwellwhite]

i dig with this

[@griffin8er845]

Wait till you see the one I just posted

[@langmartin4275]

It was good but especially in the triplet and sextuplet section, it sounded a bit choppy so my best critique is to smooth the measures out a bit and it will be perfect

[@marissa1428]

Hey! Just curious, how did you transcribe this? Did you do it by listening, or watching marimba cams? If so which marimba cam did you use? Thanks!

[@griffin8er845]

Yeah there were other recording that I listened to. I transcribed before the the cans came out so I could only use my ears. That is why some parts are a little inaccurate

[@Schwidey]

Do you mind if I use part of your transcription for my full score transcription.

[@griffin8er845]

Go ahead! I would love to learn the transcription you create! I’m currently working on SCVs show rn so can’t transcribe much of this show.

yoooo this is awesome!

[@liamr269]

i tried to transcribe this a little while ago but gave up, so I’m glad you pulled it off! killer stuff!

[@griffin8er845]

@@liamr269 it’s really impossible to do any of it until they post a really good video which they did like last week or something

[@Nickystuart]

[@sychokillin]

[@thespy2664]

[@griffin8er845]

Demorrow, full five octave padouk, no resonators, $3,000

[@obesepiglet3089]

Can we have the music for this?

[@griffin8er845]

I just pasted the link in the description, sorry about that!

[@marcog.4718]

Hi I'm Italian! What marimba are you using? I would like to buy a marimba without resonators

[@badvillage4]

You can take resonators off of marimbas

[@griffin8er845]

The demorrow marimba is what I used it’s like 10k cheaper than a normal five octave because it doesn’t come with resonators

[@brianhsieh5419]

Can I know what mallets you use?

[@griffin8er845]

The 1003s

[@brianhsieh5419]

Thanks!

[@madzila26]

Which 4 mallet grip do you use?

[@griffin8er845]

This is Steven’s but in others like Libertango I use Burton

[@yourlocaldrumaddict]

No resonators

[@mykull799]

the only way to describe the sound is "congested marimba"
