Anyone know what mallets he used in this video? Almost all the mallets I own are heavier variations, and I want to look into some lighter mallets for pieces for this
I know I'm a bit late to this but I love the sound! There's an almost Moorish/Spanish flair there that I absolutely adore, and that I think you pulled off superbly
So im looking for lighter mallets that are also low register friendly. Im wondering how much did the few inches cut affect things? I ask because i really wouldnt want to have to cut my mallets. So my question really is, would it be worth it to still buy them withought cutting them. Im currently using the ip240s, if you tried them before, how do you think they compare? Sorry, im just super tight on money and dont have much experience with a variety of mallets. Also, hands down best performance of this piece by far. In my opinion, alot better than pickering himself.
I’ve played this piece with both cut and uncut mallets and it doesn’t really make a huge difference to me. If I’m not cutting the mallets, I’m still choking up to where I would hold them if they were. Cutting them makes a difference in the weight of the mallet and I feel like it really helped get a bit more natural rebound since. But really, cutting them also just gets rid of everything your not using so it doesn’t get in the way at all. There’s definitely a bunch of mallets that would work great for this piece-theses ones just sound the best on the instrument through the mics and feel the best for my hands.
I felt these mallets had the right balance of tone and articulation to get the fast rhythms to speak clearly, but still hear the harmony through dense sections like 5:14. My thought process here was most of the attraction of the piece is in the rhythmic vocabulary--and finding a mallet that sounds good in every register of the marimba is always a challenge.
Gage once again making me feel bad about my ability to play two mallets. Nice work man - this was crispy
Great performance, gage! :-) big hug from Mexico! Congrats to Caleb, too!

These are Innovative Percussion RS30Cs that I cut a couple inches of the ends of to maneuver a little easier around the keyboard
Thanks for letting me know!
How can I get this piece of music, please?
You can purchase a copy here!

Thanks so much!
Dope!

this is awesome, i'm a beginner intermediate player and i'm trying to get to a level where i can play something like this soon
I see two names here, Pickering and Kroljic. Please clarify who is the composer versus performer. This is a spectacular piece!
Caleb Pickering is the composer. Gage Kroljic is the performer.

@@gagekroljic kk, thankss
@@gagekroljic Wait are you using the medium hards or the mediums softs?
Medium hards I believe-they might have changed them up since I bought them years ago.
This is insane.
Wow. Amazing performance!
Nice performance..... Very clean
why is he using vibe mallets

Excellent !! Wonderful piece, wonderful performance!
