[@JJJBoys]

[@saltwestlo5023]

JJJ Boys badumm tsss

[@AdamTanPercussion]

I was JUST WAITING for someone to say this... you know someone actually came up to me and asked if I owned the brand LOL

[@williamshimusic]

@@AdamTanPercussion was that Therese's marimba?

[@AdamTanPercussion]

@@williamshimusic yes it is!! Good spotting :)

[@AdamTanPercussion]

This is the first of a few 'Song and Dance' uploads coming this week, as well as the new marimba duo 'Meet Again'! Thank you to everyone who supported us in real life and on the stream, it means a lot to us! Make sure you subscribe to Therese too for more marimba videos: kzbin.info And of course you can get this piece RIGHT NOW at www.adamtanpercussion.com/download :) #TheStudioFamily

[@sfivsbebrgishlbefi]

i think ill just have this on loop for the next month

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you Andrew!

[@stephano447]

playing this at .75 is how i get in my feels

[@jaytubing607]

Haha, I’ll try it too

[@monkeyepicify]

sounds like a studio Ghibli piece

[@AdamTanPercussion]

If only ahaha, thank you :)

[@jaytubing607]

I agree, either that or another anime😎

[@Andriale]

I personally think it sounds even better at a slower and more emotional tempo, great performance!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Me too! Now I wish I didnt record it so fast ahaha... thank you :)

[@mintsurvivor7722]

Beautiful as always!!! Also sweet tux!!! Red is my favorite color, seems to suit you really well!!!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ahahaha thank you! I probably won't wear this jacket anymore though, worn it for at least 3 years ahaha

[@maddox4897]

I’m so happy Adam has made it this far, you’re doing a FANTASTIC job representing percussionist and showing how the marimba is truly an amazing instrument

[@EpicProvider]

beautiful piece, if i was still in school i would totally play this as one of my recital pieces

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you man! There's no reason why you can't just play it for fun ;)

[@alexpullen7276]

Awesome Adam such a lovely piece!! And I love the sound of the alpha!! :))))

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Yes it's a great sounding marimba! Thank you man :)

[@davidvladovsky1962]

ahh that chinese/cantonese vibes

[@junethanoschurchill6750]

yaasssss

[@AdamTanPercussion]

yaaaassssss

[@Mia-hj2ls]

*marimba (hehe)

[@jaytubing607]

Kenny Yeah

[@malharlakshman]

This is so good, the progressions have even more depth with the overtones at this tempo. Well done

[@AdamTanPercussion]

I think so too, thank you man :)

[@jaytubing607]

I hear people in my front ensemble playing this, so I asked what song it was, and now I’m here! I just really love listening to this!!

[@carychuah1309]

Adam playing on Adams!... Nice playing!

[@MarimbaMaurice]

That part at ~3:00 seems really hard. But what a great piece Adam!

[@jaytubing607]

Yeah it really does look hard! Especially keeping the piston stroke going, I’m still learning how to play faster with 4 mallets.

[@songbirdincorporated]

I love your work Adam! This has to be one of my favorite marimba solos. Keep up the great work ^^

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it :)

[@songbirdincorporated]

Adam Tan No problem ^^^^

[@maccody3139]

Awesome performance Adam I can tell there was lots of feeling behind your playing, great job!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you man, there was this time for sure :)

[@Infinitlylaconic]

You're killing it Adam!!

[@allenlouanglath1318]

I’m seriously considering buying this piece and playing it as a solo at my chamber ensemble concert

[@mackenzieusher8025]

Great piece, bravo! It was a pleasure to listen to. The marimba needs more accessible repertoire like this, for players and listeners alike.

[@savisbaddd]

what a beautiful performance. congratulations adam!!!

[@moirbasso7051]

Lovely. I'd like to learn this piece (if I ever get this good).

[@thejleeproductions]

This reminds me of Final Fantasy for some reason

[@AdamTanPercussion]

I got that impression too when I first heard it!

[@mackenzieusher8025]

Personally, it reminds of this one from Chrono Cross! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZKln4msbpebi7s

[@ClassyXxGamer]

Awesome performance Adam! Love this piece!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you so much!

[@kaylaelzie4808]

i would love to play this omg ❤️it is so beautiful 👏🏾

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Please do!!! I'd love you to :)

[@jaytubing607]

I really want to play this like the people in my front ensemble, but I’m still learning how to use the 4 mallets even better. I just started using 4 mallets this year, and I’m still learning the right techniques and trying to perfect it! One day I will learn how to play this song though!! 😎🥳

[@TheZebraz1]

wow hearing this makes me want to cry it’s so good

[@telloox2003]

Beautiful.. im glad I discovered this :D

[@christophereverett276]

im actually thinking about playing this as a prepared piece going into music school lol

[@satomizukutomekitoari6144]

So beautiful! Thinking about using this for my future drum corp auditions! 😍

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you man! Hope you get to use it :)

[@danieljungwirth7751]

Why is this giving me some nostalgic Naruto vibes

[@Katorade]

i thought the same thing haha

[@trevorsams6318]

Beautiful!

[@nilshigdon]

Cool piece! I love pentatonic stuff. I think you used the pentatonic scale once or twice in here. :)

[@hanxia6087]

It’s a mixture of Chinese music style and Adam style 😃

[@재효박-m7k]

Sound is veryvery beautiful😃😃😃what’s the name model of mallet??

[@keithfriestad3949]

Mike halter keiko kotoku. They are really great (I have some) but they are discontinued.

[@johnsivertfrystad3720]

Which mallets are you use??? Love the sound, and the piece❤️❤️

[@brockfreeland7115]

so good :)

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you Brock :)

[@tomsmith2417]

Those octaves that fast… how

[@taemonge3835]

that low e on the ascension is classy i'll def do that too

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Yes sometimes I do that without even thinking about it ahaha... I'm glad you like it!

[@raulosuna8174]

Beatiful

[@spugucci1148]

This sounds sooo GOOD. I’m planning to do a marimba solo and I like the orient and asian vibe it gives does anyone else know any other good one too?

[@biggysmoovemusic7777]

I'm thinking of Performing this Piece for solo ensemble next year.

[@iKentEven]

Mr. Mitch Infinit AKA: BiggySmoove I don’t think it’s applicable for competition anywhere yet. Otherwise I would play Path for state this year.

[@biggysmoovemusic7777]

No big problem. I have other pieces of choice.

[@iKentEven]

Mr. Mitch Infinit AKA: BiggySmoove But Adam Tan should somehow get his solos eligible for competition in Texas Wink Wink

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Funny you say that Kent... we submitted Path and Moon for consideration in the Texas area ;)

[@biggysmoovemusic7777]

Well I guess I might perform it after all

[@connormeissner3089]

So talened

[@shadowlapras2673]

The main melody reminds me of Lugia's Ballad

[@duskmoon6391]

Great performance what method u use for 4 mallets

[@JesusGarcia-ub7yg]

austin moore He uses Stevens grip if that’s what you mean by method

[@duskmoon6391]

I ment grip it a Monday

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Yeeeees I'm a Stevens person ahahaha

[@liyana_ngel]

Looks like I have a new marimba piece to listen to when I wake up and before I sleep ❤️ #marimbaenthusiast

[@davidlemper3843]

why tf am i here im majoring in flute

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ahahaha move to our instrument!!

[@michaelpolheber2173]

Reminds me of satorl marsh from xenoblade chronicles

[@shavedbird694]

getting zelda vibes

[@thangaraninavaratnam3143]

Asean countries the names

[@thejazzman5231]

this fit is way too snazzy adam

[@zachwax22]

*kaching*

[@AdamTanPercussion]

💸💸💸

[@zachwax22]

Adam Tan OMG a KZbinr replied to my comment!!!!!!!!!

[@joe-dc1fe]

I heard a lot of mess up compared to the first time he played

[@danielmahanpour8285]

relaxednine 226 no one’s perfect :P

[@joe-dc1fe]

ya but he made the song so he should know it perfectly

[@JJJBoys]

relaxednine 226 even if he knows it’s perfectly it doesn’t account for accuracy and nerves

[@junethanoschurchill6750]

His video debut was almost certainly the best of several takes. You can’t do multiple takes during a performance.
