I'm fairly certain this is the same guy from the Catching Shadows Sextet performance from Eastman. Much respect to you, Mr. Um. I dig watching you play!
I love this piece. I find it especially interesting that the difficulty of the piece isn't technical, like Scirocco or Symphonic Marimba, i.e., everything here is physically easy to play. It seems the main challenge of the piece is musical, in the sense of pitches and rhythms, and wrapping your head around 10 mins of the subtleties encapsulated in this piece should be quite the task.
Looks like the Robert Van Sice Mono-tonal series. Those start with M11 and then have 1-6 in hardness levels as the last number (m111, m112, etc.) I'm assuming he's using a combination of the m113, m114 and m114. Maybe m113, two m114 and an m115?
The sound engineer did amazing! This is such a bright clean sound!
Gah the pacing around 9:00-9:30 with the syncopated rhythms and such... SO GOOD!

Thank you very much!
Sam Um Do you have an exact graduation of the mallets you used in this piece?
Note to self: Match mallets and outfit next time
ecks dee
It's the mark of a truly great musician when they can match their outfit to their mallets. Trust me, I'm in college.
This video gets more impressive as I try to learn this
Mesmerizante.
So amazing. Bravo. 😀
Damn how is he able to reach so far so easily!
