Thanks so much! Maybe someday I will be able to record them for an album for Apple Music, Spotify, etc. Until then, we have YT! :) All the best for your music!
looking forward to playing this one as a solo this year, i just really how melodic the whole piece is! kinda sucks that there’s no lyrics i’d totally sing along while playing :D
Wonderful! Actually there are lyrics to this one! When I get time I will look them up and post what we have here as a comment. I do remember the chorus starting at the pick up into mm. 21 as "Hey, hey, Hey! Yes we love you! And our love grows and grows more each day......" Enjoy the music! Strive to make the texture in the beginning rich and dark with the chorus brighter and joyful. Practice every day and good things will happen!
I'm playing this as my first 4 mallet solo (freshman in high school) and I'm pretty sure it's way to hard for my first one but I can play the first page of it along with you at .25 speed
Thank you Harris! While Hey Hey Hey may be an ambitious first 4-mallet solo, you can approach it one phrase at a time. Go slow and allow each section to serve as a technical exercise. Record yourself often playing one phrase (or section) and listen back carefully while you study the music. Make notes in pencil on the music to help direct your practice goals. Consistent, dedicated practice over time will bring you good results. Good luck!
Sorret_ Super! You don’t have to wait! Let this piece help you develop your 4-mallet Technique. Isolate short 4 or 8 bar sections and use them as technical exercises. Gradually in time you will be able to play the entire work. Play every day and record yourself often. Good luck!
Definitely one of my favorite pieces to play, but even more to listen to. Simply amazing!!!
Many thanks! I'm very happy that you like Hey Hey Hey!
Man I love all the songs from marimba baby and I wish they were on Apple Music or something

I’m planning on playing this solo for my junior year once I correct my 4-mallet technique
This solo is so beautiful and I'm playing this for my solo this year and I hope to make it to state

This sounds awesome! what mallets should I use when I play this?
Sorry for my delay! I'm using my signature Innovative Percussion Mallets: IP813's with an IP812 in the #1 position (bass). Thanks!
mozzarella sticks
@@haydenharper4195 I think that that should work too
Is this piece a 5 octave?
Sorret_ Yes, Hey, Hey, Hey is written for a 5 octave marimba.
Sorret_ Thanks for listening! 👍
