Kaleidoscope is really well known for its six-mallet movement, but its energetic four-mallet movements are also worth noticing - and Therese once again does an amazing job of emanating energy in her performance!

Final upload of the Marimbadreams concert (with SIX MALLETS)! If you enjoyed the recital uploads please let me know down below! Thank you for watching 😊 And make sure you subscribe to Therese if you haven't already: kzbin.info

[@geeklette99]

You know shits getting real when she whips out the extra two mallets Beautiful song and playing!!1

[@AdamTanPercussion]

AHAHA I showed this to her and she was hysterical... thank you for entertaining us ;)

[@avarettig]

i love how expressive and passionate therese is in her performance!! i aspire to be this kind of musician :)

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Isn't she great ahaha, I aspire to be as good as her too!

[@emilywong4601]

Working digitally with tone.js, will try to recreate miramba effect.

[@jmperc]

I bought the solo for myself. I severely underestimated how hard it is to play with 6 mallets, I’ve bought books on how to master it but it gets really difficult to gain independence and dexterity with each mallet. What Therese is doing here is just mind-blowingly impressive.

[@overocean754]

Hello! I saw you comment. I was just here checking out this piece. I was searching for solos for marimba that I could purchase and practice. I find myself seeking challenges lately. I have to ask, are you highschool age? Just wondering, because that's where i am, and I watched a video of yours, and your skill set was very good. If that's not a good question, may I ask how many years you have practiced? I also have to say I don't think books may be the best way to try that. I mean, information is information, but I have also never been good at music theory, aka the names and rules that come with music. I listen, and then project what I listen to. I also practice over and over again till I get a satisfactory result. I don't know if you would learn better from trying to project what you hear and see, or if the books do help. Just another way to think about it, I suppose. May we all improve ourselves further in pursuing our passions!

[@jmperc]

Hey man. Nice to see that you’re looking for marimba solos to play, there’s just an awesome amount rep to immerse yourself in for the instrument. Yes, I’m in highschool, for reference I’m a sophomore. I started percussion when I was in kindergarten and did that for a few years. I took a break for a bit and got back into it in 8th grade with a new teacher her and I’ve been going hard at it ever since. The way I’m approaching developing my 6 mallet technique is through the resources put out there by Joe Porter (you may know home from his KZbin channel.) he has a whole book outlining every detail of 6 mallet technique with pictures , with a ~90 minute video guide that I’m yet to check out. He also wrote another book which includes plenty of 6 mallet solos and technical exercises to go with the technique book. I’ve always taken to learning material by ear observing technique from videos I see of people playing. That’s just what I’ve been doing, but I still have a long way ahead of me to reach my full potential. I wish you all the best in exploring marimba and any other percussion endeavors you may have!

[@marimba_man1]

I saw the thumbnail with six mallets and watched immediately. Great job Therese!!

[@ThereseNgHoiYan]

Gakupurple thank you! :)

[@deltaashkrafte7440]

dude... SIX MALLETS WHAT A LEGEND OMG

[@AdamTanPercussion]

She really is ahahaha

[@Cube-sb9tp]

D E L T A Ashkrafte Eric Carr of emcpriductions plays with 8

[@chancecaprarola932]

That’s fake when he does that, man

[@deltaashkrafte7440]

I'm pretty sure my hands would break

[@eboone]

@@chancecaprarola932 I mean at least he knows how to hold 8 mallets to begin with lol

[@ThereseNgHoiYan]

Thank you Adam ♡ :)

[@JohnnyViviani]

Im not sure how i feel about the low E being slammed but great performance!

[@Madison-ui9qu]

thats why theyve got an extra marimba in the back just in case haha

[@ryancarlisle7909]

This piece is the reason i learned to play with six mallets!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

It’s such a great movement!

[@oldenmusicianco.4527]

She's a world-class marimbist to say the very least. Truly amazing technical ability, accuracy and power especially with 6 mallets!! Impeccable 6 mallet technique. Phrasing and character is just gorgeous. I'm surprised she hasn't uploaded this herself, I want to give her the credit directly!

[@fuzzprobably]

I've watched this video about once a day for the past 2 and a half weeks and I'm not tired of this piece. Watching and listening to Therese play this is absolutely mesmerising and just... wow. I've never enjoyed a marimba piece more. Therese Ng is truly an inspiration.

[@AdamTanPercussion]

She really is amazing!!

[@percuss3757]

everyone always talks about the 6 mallet movement but can we appreciate the third movement? Its so lively and she played with so much spirit and hope

[@AvaAshes]

Whenever i need inspiration to practice i just come back to this video to give myself the hope that ill someday be a portion of how good she is! Lol

[@hedoesmusic]

This moved me, an absolutely awe-striking performance!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Me too, isn’t she amazing! Thank you for watching!

[@langadubazana]

Yo this is legendary! I love how she performs with her whole body. Really entrancing.

[@satomizukutomekitoari6144]

Make a six mallet guide or feature someone who proficiently uses six mallets please :’) I wanna learn how to so badly, and you’re a great teacher when it comes to your exercises and feature great musicians on your channel! 😩❤️

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Mmmm I may ask Therese to give a bit of a talk about it in March!

[@MasonCookMrFamous]

Yes please. I’ve been looking to try some six mallet stuff recently and they sourced I’ve found have been few and far between.

[@JoePorterPercussion]

Hi Satomi, your post was passed on to me. I have a book and DVD on the subject: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmOmaIponrB1adE All the best, Joe

[@DeeboComing]

I was just about to buy this music then I saw her turn around with six mallets. FML man.

[@marimbist1281]

I love this piece! Great job to her. And yes i enjoy these uploads because the bring music to my marimba playlist collection. x)

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Glad you’re enjoying the uploads man, we should all share more marimba music!

[@That_One_YouTube_Video]

I'm going to be hearing the whacking sound of that lower octave in my nightmares, thanks.

[@marimbaninja4304]

Wow the 6 mallet part is simply beautiful omg awesome😊😍

[@jeremyporter2126]

I’m still waiting on two pairs of the Jupiter series that I ordered on September 25th.. but this was a great performance!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Hahahaha they only just got back into it man! Thank you for watching 🙂

[@slimjimmy5159]

I’m not even sure my private lessons teacher (who was center marimba in the troopers) can teach me 6 mallet.

[@occy1498]

Feel free to drop his name here I may be interested

[@rileygiesepiano]

One of my favorite solos, hoping to learn 6 mallets in college!

[@nilshigdon]

Holy crap, she is awesome. A++

[@pabloescuderop3]

amazing

[@harmonyrodriguez4033]

I wish you had a Spotify so we could listen to all your solos continuously :) And any other solos on your channel

[@stonethecatboss3542]

a little bit sweet Thereses'new album

[@santasayaboy6438]

Wow but also is the marinba okay

[@daltonpage240]

That's insane, shes moving so fast

[@christopherpinckard176]

I use the Burton grip for marimba and apparently Therese uses it too. I haven't figured out how to hold 6 mallets for it does anyone know how to do that??

[@THE-X-Force]

I think any alien civilization, after viewing this, would have to say.. humans really are quite impressive, and capable of amazing things.

[@daltonpage240]

I'm going to try to play this for part of my auditions for julliard summer camp next year, it seems impossible for me

[@Z6D4C4]

Wow. Good job!

[@jakelance5786]

At 1:20 , was the mallet supposed to hit the edge?

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ahahahaha nooo that is a mistake!

[@Centttttt60]

Sshhh, that was done totally on purpose for the dramatic effect 😉

[@anjagoller]

There is a marimba one Izzy standing around and she uses the Yamaha? :-O The bass notes would sound so much better on this one. But aside of this: great performance! I really like the last movement.

[@李仁-l8x]

this is a good song and it is a good show. but where can I find this song.

[@joeysmith04622]

I saw the six mallet thing and the first that went to my mind was, wait is this a legit thing

[@reannakwan8773]

6 mallets omg legendddd

[@ChrisM-dx8up]

Hey Adam, (unrelated question) what do grades in solos mean? I’m learning rotation ii and it says it’s a grade 4 or 5 solo but what does that even mean? And Therese is super good.

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ahhh the grade thing is really in proportion to whatever else they put it - it’s an arbitrary thing and I don’t think it’s a standard! That being said, Rotation II is definitely an intermediate level piece! And yes she is ahahaha

[@mangotaco3036]

The beginning sounds sooo painful

[@filipecalixto6569]

Is that Burton or Traditional? Looks Burton but just out of curiosity...

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Therese plays with Burton :)

[@filipecalixto6569]

Adam Tan really? Cause, as a Burton player myself, that is some impressive six mallet technique... I've been trying to learn six mallet myself but since all my teachers think that 6 mallet is too much work none of them actually know how to play. And since there aren't a lot of Burton 6 mallet tutorials on KZbin so I've been basically teaching myself which is pretty hard.

[@daltonpage240]

I'm working on 6 mallets. Think she or you can help please?

[@joshpatrick_]

when she walked over to the marimba with 6 mallets my first thought was "thats illegal but sick" lol

[@hallekaye9166]

Any advice on 6 mallet playing? Where should I learn the grip?

[@bendrummond9876]

Love this! I decided on the graduated set of Nancy Zeltsman’s. I am playing Ballet for Percussion Ensemble, which sounds really cool, you should listen to it!

[@spenceralger3600]

Ben Drummond Look up the recording on the Vista Ridge Band Video KZbin channel

[@bendrummond9876]

Spencer Alger I just finished listening to it and it does not sound bad at all! If you are still working on it, I would say practice coming in to parts together and getting synchronized rhythms and then up the tempo but other than that, good job 👏🏻.

[@spenceralger3600]

Ben Drummond Oh that was my school from a few years ago, I'm not playing that, I'm playing an ensamble called Teamwork

[@marimba_man1]

What mallets were you using for the first and third movement? They must be pretty durable for that power of playing. The second movement seems to be 2 sets of Nancy Zeltsman's mallets.

[@daltonpage240]

Hey I cannot find this piece anywhere, can someone help me please?

[@xaviersanders5675]

😲

[@AdamTanPercussion]

My reaction exactly

[@keithfriestad3949]

Wow someone else using cross grip?

[@cesarefornasiero1350]

The Gerd me

[@anjagoller]

Me (Traditional)

[@maxencedetraz4351]

Most of people are using Burton grip in France

[@ghostmuffins822]

Unpopular opinion six mallets is stupid

[@violasun1468]

I did not know that Notre Dame de Paris’s melody is in this piece!!!!!! I should’ve known way earlier

[@ezramcwilliams1614]

WHERE DO I BUY THE SHEET MUSIC FOR THIS IN THE US OR IN DOLLARS NOT EUROS
