Marimbas are so underrated
As a marimba player I second that
I disagree, most of the times at least in the circuits I participate although they are not the main feature marimbas always get talked about in most of the time good ways ( Granted I spend both of my seasons doing mostly marching percussion and WGI soo maybe it’s different in concert settings )
Dylan Lancaster percussion is overall underated in concert settings
I think the reason they are not very mainstream is the fact that instruments like drums, violins, guitars, pianos etc can be played loud and fast in almost a breath-taking, shocking, makes-you-wanna-suddenly-play-instruments kind of way. While this to some people may sound a little boring. Although I'm not on the edge of my seat, I think this is amazing!!!
In marching and wgi settings they’re not at all, the head of the front ensemble is usually marimba, percussion is underrated in concert setting but marching settings you become highly important
This is basically the lullaby version of bohemian rhapsody I'm not crying you are
Johnny Cajon you know what I agree, i was actually kind of waiting for that dramatic "MAAMAAAA OOOOOHHH" part but was kinda underwhelming, but I did like the calmness of this version
Army who?
Jaele Barroga army you...?
I was literally about to fall asleep
Yeah I was just thinking this ia gonna put me to sleep. I have the actually Queen lullaby cd. My son was always wanting to listen to Queen at bed time lol.
It must’ve taken a lot for the crowd to not sing the lyrics
Aye Lmao HONESTLY-
True
Aye Lmao ikr
It took me all my willpower not to sing along, very well done lol
I was honestly expecting to hear a little whisper of someone singing and then by the end the whole room is just "MAMA, OOOOOOOH"
Watch in 1.25x speed
😂😂
I think it’s better some how
Thanks 😅
Put it in 2x speed and pretend it's one person playing!
Thanks men
Me: okay we’re going to stay calm and just listen. No si-
Video: **plays**
Me: *_IS THIS THE REAL LIFE???_*
IS THIS JUST FANTASY???.?
CAUGHT IN A LANDSLIDE 😭
Princess Abí ! NOOOOO ESCAPE FROM REALITYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
OPEN YOUR EYES, LOOK UP TO THE SKIES AND SEEEEE.👍🏻😭
Skare143 I’m JUST A POOOR BOYYYYYY
The guy with green mallets as stressing me outtttttt!!!! His hand was halfway up the shaft on it!!!
Jesus Garcia Me too!!! I had to go on blood pressure medication and start therapy! I also take this way too seriously!
Michael Charles Smith 😂😂😂😂
That's not a bad thing, just a different style
the whole time i was like "how tf does he not have a splinter by now"
That actually helps with more accuracy. At my school we do our all region and it works well
This was fucking phenomenal. Constant shivers down my spine. You 4 were really tight I’m surprised how accurate this was! I want more :D
Shivers down your spine? Body's achin' all the time?
ASMR
BaBBsiMo 268th like
It is not really accurate.
BaBBsiMo Ahaaaa i know they are tight if you know what i mean
Sent shivers down my spine!
Goodbye everybody, I’ve got to goooo
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
wasti_ngtime MAMAAAA OOO-OOOOH. I don’t wannna die.
Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all!
Solo
The only thing that bothers me is how high the guy with the green mallets has his hands on the sticks. 😅 But wow, I have chills! Wish my quartet could perform this for fun sometime!
Hey Hailey, the sheet music for this is finally out for $20 our website. Would love to see your quartet play this. michaelcharlessmith.com/marimbalab
Yea, how is he controlling it
As a fellow percussionist, I just want to say the performance was splendid. Of course, technique can always be improved, but it was wonderful, and I enjoyed watching. Thanks for posting this!
Faith G Thanks Faith!!!
The technique was really rough but it was a good performance
Yay the guy playing the main melody (green mallets) hands look to high up on the mallet
Faith G Same
I was literally screaming I my head. Not to be rude but their technique made me want to jump in my phone and scream at at them. Each one of them had different technique. The girl with the green mallets was literally using French grip. Not to mention they were having a down stroke party.
Somewhat sadder because I imagine Freddie quietly singing this to himself... I feel sad oh poor boy... from a poor family
Superb.
Somewhere, Freddie Mercury is smiling.
Marimba is the Costa Rica's national instrument, and, as a costa rican, I appreciate it a lot. My father builds them. LOVE this cover.
Is Guatemala instrument my friend
Sorry dude! But the marimba come from Africa, before it was the national instrument of Guatemala.
Marimba come From África / Angola
I enjoyed that, a few wrong notes from the lead but that didn't deter from the overall experience
Andrew Castree not to be rude, but nobody can really perfect the masterpiece that Freddie Mercury created.
@@hannahthearmadillo5800 Don't forget Brian may and the rest of the boys.
ok boomer
When you can hear the lyrics even thought they aren’t there
I heard every word, instrument that was played by queen exactly !!!!
Even where the individual arrangements were complex to blend together ,.....
They still nailed it !!!!!!!
Just needed a half naked guy
The iPhone version of bohemian rhapsody
This showed up in my recommended. Very clearly practiced and hard work is apparent. I loved it! Great work players!!
I love how it takes a team work to play a piece in one instrument. there were very well rehearsed disciplined and coordinated
This just goes to show the great musicality of Queen and of course Freddie Mercury. Great Music is and will forever be great!
What made happiest about this was the fact that the gong was finally not forgotten in an arrangement of this song
Homeboy playing the vocals in the beginning is choked up on his mallets so damn far. idek how he plays like that
mrto0tsboi OMG I know! How does he play like that when plays like that for 6:30 minutes? He’s like playing like that the entire time he’s playing like that that way! ICEBHPLTTW (I Can’t Even Believe He Plays Like That That Way).
mrto0tsboi Couple years in Marching band + Nothing to do + TH-cam = Putting down kids
Also the girl with her hands all the Way to the bottom of the mallets
Michael Charles Smith lmao insult the kids you teach i dont understand
Sarah .R did you not cath the sarcasm as well as making fun of what op said, not making fun of his own kids lol
My ACT is tomorrow. I'm supposed to be studying. Why am I watching thisss
Motivation
Cake is amazing because you clicked it
I have to study for 2 test that I have tomorrow, why I'm here
Legit me !!!
Because it’s beautiful
Those Nancy Zeltsman mallets sound great. Phenomenal performance and a great choise in mallets!
I used to have a marimba in my alarm every morning and now whenever I hear marimbas I get alarm PTSD.
But this is very cool.
all the band kids in the comments criticising this are confusing me help
As a band kid I’ll try to explain. There were a few mistakes in the overall song, and you aren’t supposed to use your arm to lift the mallets, it’s all supposed to be in the wrist. Using your arms is considered improper form
I LOOOOOVE HOW THIS SOUNDS
Hola. Soy de Guatemala. Nuestro instrumento nacional es la Marimba. Amo la música en marimba. Ustedes 4 han hecho un excelente trabajo interpretando una melodía muy difícil con un resultado maravilloso. Felicitaciones y éxitos para los cuatro músicos. PS: Procuren agarrar más de la orilla las baquetas, la mano a medio palo golpea el teclado, le resta resonancia a la nota. Saludos y un fuerte abrazo!
Lissette Flores Lòpez también soy de Guate!!! La famosa marimba❤😂
yo también soy de Guate y esto me hizo mi día además que es mi canción favorita y verla en nuestro instrumento nacional me hizo sentirme muy orgullosa.😂😊😘
No matter how many centuries pass this piece will be phenomenal no matter how or with what instrument is played. R.I.P Freddy Mercury
Very well captured by this group of musician. Such a great performance.
Hey percussion teacher, maybe instead of saying bad things in the comments about the students you taught this song to maybe give them pointers after the performance? I play percussion and I would hate to look in the comment section and seeing my own teacher making acronyms about how bad I played. Also this looks like the students are supposed to be playing in front of the crowd and I see moms taking pictures. Maybe you should have played your part on the other marimba that way the girl who also plays on the marimba is full spotlight! This was their performance! You guys did great, I just have concerns about the kids.
@Michael Charles Smith
Thank you for your concern. He is a great teacher!
Sarah .R, though I do agree, I think he was just joking around like most of my teachers do. Even though I am in orchestra, we do joke around about stuff that we're not as, how we call it, "delightful", on and work on it🤷🏽♀️
He is mocking the haters, not his students. r/whooosh
Fantablious !. They had the whole song in there heads. I liked there point where the guy player switched over side with the gal.Very nice !.
That was clearly very practised. Well done!
I don’t understand how someone can look at this and be so offended LOL it’s not the best but holy shit people are triggered
Imogen Jackson yeah no shit Sherlock
@@squarewheel9113 Thank you for your concern. Here at MarimbaLab, we take constructive feedback very seriously. We will contact corporate and quality control to ensure that this does not happen again. We apologize for the inconvenience.
I love marimba so much😢 My family is Guatemalan so they encouraged me to try it and i fell in love with any mallets but Marimba will always be my favorite ❤❤❤
If i ever have kids, they are going to sleep listening to THIS PRECIOUS MASTERPIECE!
My dear Marimba, national Guatemalan instrument, it is just PERFECT!! ❤️🇬🇹
Who the hell put a thumbs down
Alex Coplen Olsen thirteen complete idiots
I did, high end mallets were too hard in my opinion and offsets of it didn't sound right.
Alex Coplen Olsen as of today 24
As of today 42 complete idiots
You mean 53 critics that judge highly.
Although it does have its flaws balance/blend and timing-wise, this was really well done as a musical synced performance!
Props to the quartet for achieving such a thing!
I'm just geeking out over this instrument! I would have NEVER thought that song would work on Marimba. I'm so glad I'm wrong.
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go will you let me go
Bismillah! No we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go let me go
Will not let you go let me go (never)
Never let you go let me go
Never let me go ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
For me
For me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby, can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out just gotta get right outta here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters nothing really matters to me
Anyway the wind blows
I am impressed. I never would have of this performed on the Merimba.
Bravo!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👩🏾🦽🤓👍🏽👍🏽

It’s so good!
The most beautiful rendition of this guitar solo, ever.
Damn this was sick! This should have more views for sure.
Wow!!!!! This is Fantastic!!!!! Love that little girl!!!!
Doctor: you have 7 minutes left to live
Me: *watches this masterpiece*
I LOVE THIS ! Wish I was there in person !...... wow.
SO AMAZING CONGRATS GUYS THIS WAS AWESOME
this version really eased my mind at this point of time, thank you very much.
Awesome, congratulations!
This is one of the best musical videos ive seen in my life. MAGNIFECENT JOB!!!! KILLED IT!!!
I am officially proud of myself that I sang every single lyric.
I'm proud I didnt
Bohemian Rhapsody is my favorite song ever and this version is even better.
This could be played in donkey kong
I never knew this was possible... But it is, and it is glorious.
Excellent! Bravo!
So talented and haunting in an undescribable way. You can almost hear the wildlife and imagine the plains of the Savannah
Why is everyone so mad in the comments?
oddlittleangel because everyone’s a critic
Because we are band kids
Freddie would be so proud. U guys r awesome!!!
They should have played it on the vibes, that way you can get the sustain.
I’m getting so many chills
Hermoso♥️
When I have kids, this is lowkey that one lullaby I want them to remember when they are old and shit, I'm not crying, you are
Instead of enjoying the music I just had to think about there technic because I am in marching band
There thumbs were facing up which reduces mobility and sound
They sometimes reached over instead of moving to the note
They were using there arms a lot which makes it harder to go fast and has a more stiff sound
All of there right mallets were higher than left
Sorry I said that it was still great but I had to get it off my chest
Kody Forsyth I am so gladful for yourn comment about there technic! As ther teacher I am say this things to them all the days! When will they lern?
Kody Forsyth 9th like
Ah man I don’t miss marching band at all but I’m glad someone else noticed this. I enjoyed this a lot but with correct technique it could sound a lot better. It would be interesting to see if someone were to incorporate a vibraphone into a performance like this, it might sound interesting.
Thy hewman thanks I never really paid attention to the there,their and they're I have a really low English mark.
Kody Forsyth agreed. I'm not a percussionist, so I don't know the technique. But the guy with red mallets was making me really mad
i play marimba in band and it’s so fun and this made it so much better
DAM THAT WAS AWSOME PLUS IS MY BEST SONG EVER
As a marimba player, this makes me so happy.
Who's excited for the movie!!?
1 word: Goosebumps
beautiful!
to sing along:
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me
[Verse 1]
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
[Verse 2]
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh, (any way the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me
(Galileo.) Galileo. (Galileo.) Galileo. Galileo Figaro magnifico
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go.) Will not let you go
(Let me go.) Will not let you go. (Let me go.) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh mamma mia, mamma mia) Mamma mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me!
[Verse 4]
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby!
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here!
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows
It was very good but I couldn't stand the guy with the red sticks constantly raising his arm after some notes lmao
Lunanies 😂😂 so annoying like if he’s better then the others 😂😂
He looks a lot older than the others, he's probably their teacher. Also probably just a technique to help the notes ring more
He's playing Legato
thanks for pointing that out, now i cant unsee it lol
That legato technique just sticks out because he probably is more experienced, but this is common in marimba playing. It's easier to notice because of the slower tempo. The one with green mallets should be following through to be more lagato as well, which is kind of why it sounds kind of stiff, but it's still all great :)
Magnifique franchement sa change que d'écouter du métal
When you are a drummer but you also want to learn how to play the piano!
This is the definition of calm
THE BEST LOVE THE SONG
You can still hear the beat drop from opera to rock
Wow amaizing!!
Vocês tocam muito bem
Parabéns
Melhor homenagem
I bet the audience was crying tears of joy lmfao
Surprisingly calming
golden!
Beautifully played, beautifully recorded
the performance was great although - coming from a mallet player - the technique needs a LOT of work & there was alot of wrong notes.. other than that you can tell they have passion and thats all that matters at the end of the day.
Aw I think The legendary Freddie would be happy with this 🙂
The crash at the end needed to be way louder
THIS MAKES ME SO FLIPPING HAPPY
IDK WHAT ELSE TO SAY
THIS IS JUST WONDERFUL
this comment section is giving me bad vibes, i’ll just stick to listening
Here I am on a Sunday night and I am not sad about it. This was amazing.
We call it Gamelan in my country
Que hermoso que maravilla!
Bohemian Rhapsody Asmr
This is The Real master piece
This pissed me off, it was performed on a basketball court.
Not every school can afford an auditorium, Deborah.
Good acoustics in there probably
I mean... where else would you perform a 4 part marimba cover of Bohemian Rhapsody?
@Sea Cat same but we have a stage but we are not up there but my choir group is up there i take two year rounds i take band and choir band is on the bottom on the floor and my choir group is up on the stage
@@nanauii_8952 Have you ever thought about using a full stop in your sentence?
Brilliant artists.
I would’ve been the audience member who sneezes in the middle of the song
Thank you for the good music!
*_Freddy Mercury is pleased_*
Me EMBELEZCO una vez mas al escuchar esta cancion en los SONES
De los Xilofones....Precioso.....un APLSUSO....para los músicos.
