3:20 These are the first things I do when I walk up to a marimba.

[@CalebPickering]

mr. cangelosi can you make a video on howto hold 2 sticks in the same hand? im' still trying to figure out the stephen 2 stick hold. adam di-prince of persia-o also says hello and please make the 2 stick video. thank u.

[@manuelgchapajr4472]

Great Lesson!!! Used this Video in my Percussion Class for several years! My students loved it but I am still horrible at this!!! THANK YOU FOR PERFORMING AT THE FLAM JAMM!!!

[@BartholdyManuel]

Thank you Casey, great explanation and really cool exercises!

[@arthurlipner-archive77]

Nice video Casey, thanks for posting al those years ago :)

[@Us3r-n0t-f0unnD]

Always a sound education ;) thanks casey

[@CaseyCangelosi]

@lgarnermusic Hi and thanks. I think it depends on the speed; as you get faster the three strokes become more loose and thrown, but they must be more calculated and precise at a slower speed. :)

[@TheMayZek]

Fantastic! Thank you

[@dborismusic]

This is VERY useful! Thank you so much! =)

[@CaseyCangelosi]

@esp9762 DOH! Ian, you're right. I'm amazed you watched that far into the video, did you find time away from Starcraft?

[@GarrettJohnsonBand]

Great! Love the video, I am working on your piece "Two Characters." In the context of playing a piece with rolls (such as in Character number one on page two) would you suggest play in the center of the accidental bars or going for the edge?

[@Neuuunng]

i have trouble with triple lateral but in, burton grip. TT

[@CaseyCangelosi]

Hello, it's hard for me to answer from here, but it sounds like control issues that will smooth themselves out with practice. If you can do something of a one-handed roll then you're off to a good start. Keep working, experiment with you wrist position, experiment with intervals, challenge your endurance -I bet your hands will figure it out.

[@CaseyCangelosi]

Hi Aiden, I would say some the F Major Prelude or E Minor Prelude from the set of Five Preludes. They're simple, sparse, and rather short

[@QuickscopingJew]

Does this video work for lateral rolls as well? If not, could you post an explanation of the lateral roll? I like the full and rounded sound it gets rather than the "right hand, left hand" roll. I am jealous...

[@littledrummerpuer]

Thanks for sharing this video, awesome tips! Who have you studied with? I am just experimenting with one-handed rolls. I can play four mallets at a pretty high level, it is just that one handed rolls have always been a challenge, thanks again!

[@lgarnermusic]

Great video! I am curious about something though...are you sort of making a suggestion in this video that the triple lateral technique is the same motion as the one handed roll? I've often felt that in my hands while playing/writing but I've had instructors argue that the motions should be very different based on the Stevens school of playing. Thoughts?

[@ErikKranjc]

@CaseyCangelosi I practiced 1 handed roll while watching TV on a sofa or how do you call it.

[@Lemonjamin]

Only Cangelosi

[@SeanPerhamisme]

@CaseyCangelosi TOUCHDOWN CASEY CANGELOSI.

[@CaseyCangelosi]

@weisnerchild409 it's coming...

[@alxjones]

Judging by Casey's response, I'm guessing they're pretty close friends.

[@thoughtsforthebuilders]

I will try as hard as possible to never forget _huhbuhduh_ 😂

[@mjopling36]

A to Bx is a ninth ;)

[@AnotherGuyInJapan]

What is, in your opinion, your easiest piece to learn on Marimba? I wanna start small and work up!

[@thoughtsforthebuilders]

Libertango (;

[@meowmeowmarimba]

I can play one handed rolls a little, but I'm getting too fast and am losing control of dynamics and sometimes one of the mallets will just playing. The song I'm playing has a roll in the right hand and in the left my hand is in an octave switching from C# to C really fast. Is there anyway to help this better, or exactly what you were doing? I also play marching technique which "prohibits" me from arching my wrist. Thanks!

[@dilequesi]

you are a showman " cuidades del pecado" hahaha

[@sashakindel3600]

I read a guide for marimba scoring that said one-handed rolls on a single pitch are practical, but given that seconds are difficult, I wouldn't have expected that to be the case. Would you recommend avoiding writing one-handed unison rolls?

[@samk2081]

The difficulty of a unison independent roll depends on its context. Often a marimbist will move their arm so that it is perpendicular to the bar (effectively rolling at a larger interval), so consider the placement of notes in the other hand. If the interval between the hands approaches two octaves it will be very difficult. Finally, it is difficult to reach accidentals in the marimba's lower register rolling this way. Few people I know can roll on one note parallel. Hope this helps.

[@sashakindel3600]

Wow, I'd never considered that! Is the tone quality compromised at all due to the fact that at least the lower of the two mallets can't strike in the middle of the bar?

[@KingstonCzajkowski]

@@samk2081 "If the interval between the hands approaches two octaves it will be very difficult" Heh, tell that to the cadenza from David Maslanka's "Arcadia II"

[@KingstonCzajkowski]

@@sashakindel3600 Striking on the edge of the bar changes tone quality very little when done well, and is generally considered acceptable, although if you listen closely you can hear the difference in some contexts

[@CaseyCangelosi]

@CaseyCangelosi besides, they just pay me to look good.

[@Solbashio]

How the f- I don't know if I'll ever be able to do this

[@mrfiber]

TOWN!

[@CaseyCangelosi]

@mauledby18bears :) :)

[@CaseyCangelosi]

@weisnerchild409 Hi, I've made an answer video for you. Check my videos :)

[@vinskilindqvist4554]

Great video, I liked it! :) but please don't chance the camera angle at all. It kind of disturbes.

[@williamland2646]

That shows how smart you are, he messes up one time, and you call em out for it... Do you even know who Casey Cangelosi is? Cause if you did, youd know your in no position to tell him anything that has to do with percussion, because i know for a fact, he is 100x better than youll ever be

[@zRhid]

so your exercise for learning one handed rolls is playing triple laterals... why...

[@esp9762]

A to C# is a 10th. I can't believe they let you teach at a college.
