HUGE thank you to Marimba One and Optimum Percussion for helping me get the One Vibe on the show EXCLUSIVELY for you guys! When I first talked about the One Vibe a year ago I didn't think we'd actually be able to get one in the studio... and look what we have now 😁 Hope you enjoy this very special episode! Thank you so much for watching 😊 #TheStudioFamily

[@ItsBeastiee]

Adam Tan I need help with my Marimba skills. Can you help me? I added you on Snapchat

[@AdamTanPercussion]

For sure man, will get back to you!

[@clonebin0]

as a relatively new viewer i'm really impressed at how high quality your old videos are, it's awesome

[@Genius-zf5xx]

Adam, I've been watching your videos for a few months now, and I want to thank you for everything you've helped me with. I picked a good marimba, I know what mallets I want to use, I have an amazing repertoire of music and exercises, and now I'm the head marimbist at my school. Thank you again, and take care. I hope your channel continues to grow!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Wow that is awesome man! Thank you so much for watching all this time, I'm glad that I've been able to help you in some way and you've done great for yourself :) Keep it up! 🙌

[@oomenacka]

I'M IN LOVE, I WOULD SELL MY SOUL FOR A ONE VIBE. Awesome channel, btw!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Definitely close to a luxury vibraphone hahaha, not sure if I'd sell my soul for one just yet 😂 thank you for watching!

[@alskyfajardo7361]

NEEDS JAZZ

[@AdamTanPercussion]

HAHA I JUST SUCK TOO MUCH

[@DavidEra]

Literally the most creative review thus far on this channel! This has absolutely made my evening 😊

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you so much David, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@robledoangel]

Sounds awesome. Thanks for the demo.

[@jacobhanekamp2534]

I got to hear the Silver version live (with front row seats) when Chris Dingman came by and did a concert at my college. The sound was crazy!

[@thesharkhunters123]

What a beautiful instrument and fantastic improv may not have been special but I really enjoyed the last test was truly beautiful gave me goosebumps. 👏🏼👏🏼

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you so much David! I'm not the best at vibes but I'm glad you enjoyed that at least :)

[@ThereseNgHoiYan]

Impressively well done Adam! I believe you just made the most pro vibe review on KZbin B-) p.s. all the sad songssssss....... are beautifully played :)

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ahaha thank youuuuu Therese 😊

[@fuzzylightning]

I am honestly thinking about buying one of these beautiful vibraphones. Great video!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

+Sarek Gutierrez Thank you so much Sarek! Let me know if you decide to get one ☺️

[@marwanthelittleviolist273]

Such a very beautiful and quality instrument !

[@christopherpederson1021]

This thing sounds so good with the vibrato on!

[@juanbustamante86]

Excellent!! Does this means that you will be doing some vibe mallets reviews?

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you Juan! I'll be doing a couple for sure :)

[@robbiebremner8019]

love it!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thanks man

[@fadededed]

I realized that the Vibraphone is like the child of the Marimba and Xylophone that lost a chromosone

[@AdamTanPercussion]

HAHAHA I have never heard such an interesting explanation 😁

[@matthewmcconnell3442]

This is one of the most humour filled videos yet, it was awesome! We appreciate the amount of time you put in these videos Adam Also I'm thinking of applying for the assistant role for Rob Knopper. How do you like working for him Adam?

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you so much Matthew! You should definitely apply, I'm looking forward to see who our next team mate is going to be :) And yes #TeamKnopper is great ahahaha

[@Abby-wj5je]

I’ve never heard of vibe motor fan things. I’m not a mallet percussionist, I marched DCI blue coats for 3 years, tenors. I guess marching bands don’t have them because they don’t have a place to plug it in

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ahhhh yes motors dont have much use in outdoor scenarios! But yes definitely something that has been around for a while, although I agree I didn't know much about them until recently either hahaha

[@johnboyle3297]

My old premier vibes were a nightmare for setup/breakdown fantastic to see more modern/easier set up arrive after I retired lol

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Yessss I’ve played on a few of those, takes way too long

[@bradleymayfield1778]

I loved that variation of Pure Imagination!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you man! I made it up on the spot so I’m glad you liked it 😅

[@bradleymayfield1778]

I just realized I rhymed there XD. Even better!

[@carsonlemke3929]

Great video as always! Could you do a review of the Vic Firth M70 & M71 mallets please?

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Those are the corpsmaster ones right? I'll look into it! Thank you for suggesting :)

[@carsonlemke3929]

Adam Tan Yup! No problem :)

[@Malletesis]

waow amazing sound bro....

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you man, appreciate it!

[@nicholassimmons9706]

Are you going to review any more vibraphones? I've been looking around but there don't seem to be many on the youtube or internet in general. Also, do you know if the One Vibe is tuned to 440Hz or 442/443Hz? I was looking at at Adams vibes; are you aware of any percussion stores in the western United States where someone can actually view vibes/ marimbas from different brands in person?

[@nicholassimmons9706]

Also it seems like the One Vibe doesn't have a digital setting of how fast to set the rpm of the paddles. This seems like a major overlook to me. Rather than a slider bar it would be great to be able to set the rpm of the paddles from 0 up to 200 or wherever in increments of one rpm.

[@SalimSivaad]

The biggest percussion store west of the Mississippi is Lone Star Percussion in Texas. That might not best what some folks consider “the West”.

[@NOOBS511]

Hey adam, so i have a question. Im currebtly spending a year abroad studying in Beijing and unfortunately my school doesnt have any mallet percussion instruments and im struggling to find a place to practice, i havent played in qell over month, and im asking you for any tips on where i should try and look. I have no idea how to use the internet for local uses here and everytime ask someone they just look at me like wtf is a "marimba"

[@AdamTanPercussion]

This is a really good question! I have never played in China before so I wouldn't know where exactly to go but maybe it would be a good idea to email some of the universities around there - I know Peking University has a percussion department so you could try that :)

[@coolatta1]

ahhhh i need to play more vibes nowwwww

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Me too....

[@vxla]

Does the One Vibe have two positions for resonators on the low end?

[@Alex-sm4wi]

Omg kiss the rain, i wish there were a proper arrangement for this! (marimba as well)

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Kiss The Rain can be directly transcribed to vibraphone from the piano score! It's got such a small range for most of it ahaha... also I just made it up so I don't know if that's exactly the right notes 😂

[@Achilandia]

Oh what?! Literally was thinking, "Hope I could hear this vibraphone w/ a nice pair of Toney Miceli mallets..." What?!? Adam, you mind reader, you.

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Hahahaha TONYYYYY

[@dillonstephenson2629]

adam just wanted to let you know that im a huge fan! i would really apreciate if you could tell me what the name of the last two songs you played! thanks

[@AdamTanPercussion]

It's a chinese song called 靜靜的 by Harlem Yu :) made it up on the spot lol

[@dillonstephenson2629]

thanks man!

[@boboddybiznis]

I’m playing the Emmanuel sejourne concerto at my school and I was wondering what mallets you would suggest to use for it

[@AdamTanPercussion]

I know people use the Resta Jay Jean Geoffroys for it a lot :)

[@filippkarandeev139]

Nathan Brown pius cheung graduated for 2nd part, and some medium-hard mallets like keiko abe yamaha, bacanu adams or even zivkovic

[@ThereseNgHoiYan]

Master Adam, I have some questions always wanted to ask you.... if you are free to answer :) If you ARE free to answer, please answer at least 3 ok. So, what brought you to learning percussion and later on focusing on marimba? Who was your most inspirational teacher and what did he do? (if you had one) What was your first 4-mallet piece? What moved you to write Path? Or did it just come to your mind one day you woke up. I really wanna know about the story behind. Why didn't you learn some proper vibraphone music and just playing pop songs all the time even on the vibe? (getting violent) If the world didn't have black and white color, what color would you pick your suitcase? And your mallet wrapping tape. And your hoodies. Many thanks!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Hahahahahahaha okay I'll answer these in the next Q&A 😂

[@tanchwa3740]

Majestic and Yamaha also have gas lift on their vibraphones. At least with their field frames.

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Yessss that is true but they are a different kind of gas lift, I think it's more of an assist than a lift because it doesn't hold the weight up on its own 😅

[@israelmtz3453]

Just subscribed.

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you so much!!!

[@theglockenspiel]

What’s the song called that’s played in the very beginning and very end of the episode?

[@AdamTanPercussion]

It's Smoke Break by Brock Berrigan, such a good tune: soundcloud.com/brockberrigan/smoke-break

[@shlongdong1371]

I've played the vibe for 3 years going onto 4 and it sounds waayyy more better than the vibe I play.

[@dillonstephenson2629]

what is the name of those last 2!!!!!!!!!!

[@oppotato5440]

If the vibraphone things always stop vertically what happened at 11:43

[@KirksDrumRoom]

Adam, see you at PASIC 17!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Yes I will see you there Kirk! Thanks for watching :)

[@agtangjr]

Is it bad to use Steven's grip on a vibe? I've always had a pet peeve of using the Burton's grip but I feel like that's the normal grip - I've only really practiced with Steven's 😅

[@pie213]

Joven Ronni Agtang you do you, man. Personally I use the burton and switch to Stevens on marimba , but I'm sure it's more comfortable for you and Adam to use different grips on vibes

[@pjm4w]

Tbh, the grip shouldn't change anything. Certainly, each grip has it's advantages and disadvantages, but it isn't ever "bad" to use whatever grip you're most comfortable with. I (and everyone at my uni) play burton exclusively, both vibes and marimba and it works perfectly fine. It's just like cello/bass players with french vs german bow, it's just preference and shouldn't make the music any different.

[@AdamTanPercussion]

I agree with what everyone's said below - yes Burton has its advantages on vibes, I feel like I'm a bit restricted when I use stevens sometimes on vibraphone. But that being said, someone who is fantastic at Stevens grip playing on vibes will still be better than someone who is somewhat okay at Burton :) Grip is just one factor, just like mallets and other technical issues and there is never a single 'right' answer 😬

[@marinasimmons3553]

This made my day Adam!!! So pretty!!! Like I said before, Marimba One has taken EVERY pet peeve I've ever had about vibraphones and made them better!! And after 6 years of being on a vibraphone only, I got a list!! Especially over the motor!! Now I'm going to say something I never thought I would.....the more I look at the One Vibe....maybe the silver bars wouldn't look to bad.... I was going to razz you about no Lionel Hampton but then you played Pure Imagination and all was forgiven! Do you think you will get a chance to review the Lynn Vartan vibraphone mallets? I love her marimba mallets and have been tempted to buy the vibe ones just because.

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you for watching Marina! Yes the silver onevibe looks great also, and I think they really have got most of the brief down :) Ahahahaha I should have more vibe experience, I am such an amateur... I will give the Lynn Vartan's a play on camera soon, not sure if they will make it into a full video but I think they are not bad - that being said for the price I personally think there are definitely better vibes mallet options out there :)

[@marinasimmons3553]

Let me know what you think either way because they are a bit on the pricey side. Since I joined up with a local concert band, I am having to purchase all new mallets. Years of Jazz Band torture gave me my only real vibes experience! HAHAHA!!! You didn't miss much!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

TORTURE hahahaha really that bad! At least it's some experience 😅 I definitely think for the price of the LVs you could get something like the micelis or even the dragonfly vibe mallets (reviews coming soon!) for better value ^_^

[@marinasimmons3553]

hahahaha!!!

[@jacejenkins8813]

I know there is a Marching group that uses Marimba one vibes and Marimbas for there show, their director made percussion section disassemble there mallet instruments...

[@Dannyhaleperc]

I would love yo get a copy of that pure imagination piece ;)

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Hahahaha I made it up man! It's totally doable if you just play around with the chords :)

[@e.steven106]

Dang! I too was hoping to find the music for that one too! It sounds so good!! Excellent review video by the way!!

[@no0ne361]

What's the price of this vibraphone?

[@chrisnott7686]

ADAM do a vibe solo top 10!

[@charliegomez1165]

Are there any crazy two mallet marimba solos you can recommend

[@annamellick]

Charlie Gomez Gene Koshinski has a lot of really nice two mallet solos!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ahahaha in before everyone says WHITE KNUCKLE STROLL... If you haven't already try the Paganini caprice in a minor (not technically a two mallet solo but it's pretty much like one) :)

[@jameswalker210]

I want the music for test 7 and 8 its really good!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

I made it up though ahahahaha but yes it is a popular Chinese song called 靜靜的 :)

[@khadijokwabena9737]

I just might buy one, cause my Adams concert is not that flexible.

[@rybred]

2:33 Actually that's not true. They also made 3 xylophones as prototypes then scratched the idea. One of them being housed at Humboldt State University in Arcata, CA, another at their headquarters in Arcata, and lowkey im not sure where the third one is

[@johnboyle3297]

Impressive sound, build quality and design, not too keen on gold tone bars but that just me. at the same time I curse this fucking arthritis in my hands 😢

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Man that sucks 😔 but thank you for watching anyway despite that!

[@3rd-d748]

15:13 Kiss The Rain♥

[@notmattmclellan]

How do I have your job? Like you wanna trade lives? I'm a music student and it's all yours hahaha

[@AdamTanPercussion]

HAHAHA hey I was a music student just a couple of months ago! In fact I kind of still am, I wouldn't say this is a job just yet ahaha...

[@TelsonWoodworks]

For whatever reason "dat curve" actually bothers me because it's an aesthetic thing and is a waste of material to me. Regardless the vibe sounds awesome.

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Hahahaha agreed, definitely up to the individual's taste! I do agree the vibe sounds awesome though 😊
