✅ Join our Discord server if you haven't already: adamtanpercussion.com/discord Welcome back to another Let's Watch! Amidst the lockdown here, my Surface laptop and other belongings got stolen from my car two days ago... So now I'm looking at a tiny tablet instead HAHA 😂 anyway thank you for always submitting such awesome performances to the discord! Let me know what you thought of today's videos below ⬇️ #TheStudioFamily
can you help me out a bit, im planning to buy a marimba mallet, should i buy vicfirth m113 (medium soft) , m114 (medium) or m115 (medium hard), ive used medium hard normally , it will be my first marimba mallet that i buy
The crazy long solo with most of the notes on the white keys sounded so so good. I know how hard it is to be accurate when you don't have a lot of black keys in a long run like that and he crushed it. Wow. Reminds me of Teddy Brown
watching that university group perform makes me so happy... i love those somewhat smaller percussion pieces and i want to go to college sooo bad and be able to perform more stuff like that !!
Hey just found this channel. I'm a mallet player and I love the advice you give regarding the marimba techniques with the upstroking and playing palms up instead of thumbs up (French grip). My techs always tell me this and it's cool to see you talking about this in your video! Keep it up!!!
Hey everyone! Thank you so much Adam for reviewing my tape! In terms of the snare grip I had the right grip in practice but I guess I was just stressed out so I went to a more drumset grip lmao, either way, I'll definitely apply what you talked about!
@@JacobMillerDrums, you played really well man! What I would recommend with the Timpani playing is to have a looser grip to the point where you can basically have someone come and just pull them out of your hands. Will make a nicer and fuller sound. Another thing I would recommend is to try and lift your mallets back up after you play, so focus less on the down and more than the down. Will make more of a nicer sound. Still played really well though. Also if you're wondering, I'm studying a Bachelor of Music at UTAS.
I feel like a lot of the technique/hand issues you brought up in the first video would be instantly fixed by having gear at the right height for his body/lowering himself. The marimba especially could probably come up about 4 inches. Sitting behind the timps would help some too. Really solid playing, though! Snare grip especially was very relaxed.
@@AdamTanPercussion here was one of the auditions I looked at and there should be several floating around since im assuming most of them have to submit one through vid for this summer. Hope you enjoy! th-cam.com/video/gelFp_8NP9c/w-d-xo.html
I don't know if the french grip was intentional though since the snare and mallet grip was also very turned out. And it looked very stiff for a french grip. To me, french grip should feel more like stevens, very relaxed.
man idk how you produce such good quality content and get like... no views. these are pretty fun :) nice to see some canadian people too, i've heard UofL is pretty good!!

That was one of the reasons that made me sign up to percussion in college too! You'll love it 🥳

Possibly lowering himself would help too yes!
Adam you should definitely check out Snare Drum Tryouts for any Drum corps groups. They’re pretty insane! 👍
Ok I'll have a look!!

I know for timpani most use French grip over in the US
Ah ok I didn't know that, good to know :)

Can confirm.
Sounds like 5th grade level to me
