[@rynlazorchak574]

You know, when I see six mallets resting on the marimba, I'm always impressed. But there's something about seeing only two mallets and knowing the something super technical is about to happen that gets me excited!

[@myotiswii]

What I always look for is the grip of a mallet player. When they go for Stephen's grip I am always like 'yes, he's on my team! You are awesome' and when they go for Burton I am like 'Although both techniques are basically equal with some minor advantages in either, you are objectively WRONG.' No hate tho lol, I do actually occasionally practice both just to be able to.

[@williamstenberg1220]

@@myotiswii Burton is normally used by vibes players more often than marimba. I’m trying to learn the Stevens and I can’t keep them steady, but I’m working on it!

[@myotiswii]

@@williamstenberg1220 That is not true. It depends on where in the world you are. Americans go for Burton more often, Mid Europe and Japan are more Stephen's. But even then it kinda depends on what they have been told mainly. I did apply for a marching band in the USA once and they told me that they really liked my playing during the online round and when I came to play in person I should 'make a proper grip' I hadn't heard of different grips before and I was like o.O because Burton looks weird if you aren't used to it lol. I did eventually learn Burton, but I never went and applied there because I found a better opportunity elsewhere.

I love how you can visually see the crescendos in Thunderstruck. Also, now I'm gonna see more Metallica for you. The intro to Fight Fire With Fire would be really cool on the Dulcimer. Also, the melodic section of Orion would be awesome on marimba.

[@ezra5737]

I gotta give thunderstruck the most credit. I been playing guitar for many years and its still one of the most challenging things for me to play. Mainly because of the picking. So for you to pick up and put it down that fast and on tempo, its impressive truly

[@MrGorman]

The picking? There is no picking, it’s all hammer-ons and pull-offs…..

[@ezra5737]

@@MrGorman thats what many people think. But you can search it up, its alternative picking. If it was hammer ons and pull offs i wouldve had it by now

[@yourmother__]

Dude, the picking on “My Name Is Jonas” is insane. Learned it as my first Weezer song, big mistake, but I think it was beneficial in the long run.

[@thecheeseman31415]

@@ezra5737 I've seen them playing it with just hammer on's and pull off's in a live video so that's how I play it.

[@ezra5737]

@@thecheeseman31415 maybe, but thats because playing that song live at that age over and over is hard. If they need an easier route then so be it. But the original, true to the song, is alternate picking. So if you arent playing it like that then you're basically just doing it wrong

[@armadillerff]

Now I want a full length version of The Trooper on marimba…I didn’t realize that until now.
