@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

Thank you to Buffalo Percussion for giving me the opportunity to try a padauk keyboard and rosewood keyboard on the same 5.0 octave instrument! Let me know down below how you went with the blind test - did you guess all 3 sound tests correctly? P.S. Thank you so much for 18K subscribers! You guys are the best! #TheStudioFamily

@nzane1216 4 года назад

You can tell almost immediately from how resonant the low end is, other than that, pretty interesting how close both boards are

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

Yes I think that might be the only way to tell haha, and I swear they sounded even closer in person...

@Flar3on12Gaming 4 года назад

I was actually surprised at the resonance of the Padauk. In my experience it has been much sharper. I got all three right but, what I heard was where much more harsh tones like the mallets where harder than they should have been on rosewood.

@collinallen5356 2 года назад

Exactly what I thought! I like the low’s of the rosewood and highs of the padauk. But the rosewood is better quality and has more resonance according to research so I choose rosewood.

@sivadepilif 4 года назад

The perfect marimba: Lower half, rosewood Upper half, padauk

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

Hahaha or a hybrid material, rosedauk 😅

@someone-yc1pc 2 года назад

@@AdamTanPercussion what is this was an actual thing.

@alskyfajardo7361 4 года назад

Padauk has a brighter color than rosewood, but it's not a bad thing at all, just a preference. I own a padauk 4.3 from Majestic and it sounds beautiful with good sustain.

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

I totally agree! So many other factors which are important :)

@averillstevenson2168 4 года назад

Al Sky Fajardo Agreed. Brighter. I guessed all 3 correctly.

@ohok180 4 года назад

How long did it take to ship? I was gonna get a Majestic as well

@noahgirdler 4 года назад

I got 1/3. That's crazy how close they are. I love the low-end of that padauk. It made the resonance blend a lot better with the pieces than ringing forever.

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

Yes!! I think the quality of the wood and frame is more important than just what wood it is

@christopherpinckard176 4 года назад

I think it’s sad that even though I’ve been playing marimba for 3 years I have yet to play on a full wood marimba. All the ones I’ve ever played are field frame synthetic. Also Adam you have literally the BEST percussion channel I’ve seen in a while keep it up please

@wilk3rdrummer895 4 года назад

Marimba_Kid334 Same I wish I could play a rosewood marimba but I think my school is saving up for one

@christopherpinckard176 4 года назад

WILK3R DRUMMER see I moved from a big school with big band and like 5 marimbas then I moved to tiny band with 1 marimba but it’s still a marimba so no complaints here

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

Don't worry man, playing a marimba at all is already really good! I'm sure you will find heaps of different marimbas as you keep playing :)

@Nikayoiam 4 года назад

I love how he uses Nintendo switch sounds

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

Most versatile sounds ever haha

@Happiness-ut7nn 4 года назад

I guessed correctly! The rosewood has more of an attack, more of a "woody" sound if you will. I think the padauk had a longer resonance and a warmer attack but that's a preference thing when it comes to purchase. Thanks for making this video! It was super interesting!

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

Thanks for watching! Crazy how they're so close haha

@nurhanna4705 4 года назад

I always wanted to hear the direct difference between rosewood and padauk, thanks!

@arnhuber5115 4 года назад

Ive always wanted to have a nice 5.0 octave but I don't really make enough to save up to get one but I think this padauk one is perfect for me I love the way it sounds and I think this is a good option for me I'm going to start saving immediately Thanks for introducing me to this marimba I truly appreciate it keep up the great work

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

That's awesome man! Thanks so much for watching and hope you can get that 5.0 soon :)

@jwagy Год назад

This was very helpful ! I chose correctly each time, and each time I surprisingly chose the Padauk sound each time over the rosewood ! Amazing video

@loganpbarney 4 года назад

3/3 - I work with both types nearly everyday, I should hope I can tell! I like that someone sat down and did a proper comparison. Synthetic keys definitely have more of a resonant sound than that characteristic attack that rosewood has. I think the appeal of rosewood is a more natural sound, its timbre is noticeable in a solo recording. Because the sounds of synthetic keys are so similar, the notes are more likely to "blend" than rosewood. The sound difference you normally hear when you swap keyboards depends much more on the resonators than you think at first. Really interesting video, Adam! Enjoyed the quiz.

@Bluejay617 4 года назад

Wow I’m actually impressed I got them all right! I could tell from the lower octaves, in the rosewood it’s more of a warmer tone then on the padauk it’s a little barkier. Both sound beautiful though.

@TheMan-ok1zo 4 года назад

I don’t know if I’m judging wrong but to me it sounded like the Rosewood was softer while the Paduk was more hard hitting

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

That's a pretty accurate observation :)

@andyzou7890 10 месяцев назад

You're exactly correct.

@davidnjudi 4 года назад

Thanks for this comparison. I’ve often wondered how much of a difference there would be, all other things being equal. For me, there was a noticeable difference and I still prefer rosewood, but for half the price the padouk held up much better than expected.

@ryanpritchard6956 19 дней назад

Padauk can definitely sound great. I find the biggest downside is padauk can be temperamental when moving from room to room, environment to environment. It’s doesn’t seem to do nearly as well as rosewood with temperature and humidity changes.

@juhorasimus00 4 года назад

Both sounded great here. The difference between the two keyboards was very small but still notable, also padouk had a lot of resonance (maybe) because of the pro-level resonators. Currently rocking 4.3 Adams concert marimba with padouk bars myself and could not be happier. Price/sound value is just about perfect for my practice needs.

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

Yes the oval tube resonators really help! I'm glad you're enjoying the Adams padauk marimba!

@jacobputnam5508 4 года назад

Nice to know I can tell the difference between rosewood and padauk

@phantis7064 4 года назад

I got the second 2 out of 3 The Padauk sounds somewhat brighter to me most of the time and I suprisingly preffer the Rosewood.

@notpieceoftoast4269 4 года назад

I got all three, the padauk peaks sometimes I’m audio, mean while rosewood doesn’t not, but overall the both had very nice clarity in sound and sounded very nice

@iplaybadgames317 4 года назад

personally i hear the difference right away the rosewood sounds more ummm smooth in a way it does. it more of a hhhhhh while the other one was like HHHhhh if that makes sense

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

HAHA I LOVE THE "HHHhhh"

@duelmaster33 4 года назад

with what sounds I personally like to have in a piece, i would go with padauk for its bass sound. it me it feels more of what I would compose. nice vid for comparison

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

That's not something you hear often! Thanks for watching 😁

@jjmarigold2120 Год назад

Padauk sounds more mellow with less high harmonics to me which I actually like! Good concept and well executed w/o any bias

@wilk3rdrummer895 4 года назад

You inspired me to play mallets, thank you so much

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

That's awesome man, hope you keep on playing!!

@anotherdrummer2 4 года назад

Do you think the test would have had different results had you used the M1 resonators? Specifically in regards to your preference, could it be that particular combination of padauk and resonators which formed your opinion?

@pawnstarsofficial9083 4 года назад

I used to own a buffalo marimba and I felt the paddock wood was very warm

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

That's awesome man!! Never thought I'd hear padauk and warm in the same sentence haha

@JasonDeCristofaro 3 года назад

I actually preferred the paduok - also, great playing!

@jamesmichael20910 2 года назад

I read somewhere recently that rosewood was the preferred wood for high-quality marimbas. Is it just ANY rosewood, or rosewood from a specific area (e.g., Honduras or Guatemala)?

@zyllofmitain 4 года назад

I came up with "drier" sound to describe the rosewood. The padouk was more resonant. I got the first one wrong but once I knew which sound was which I correctly guessed the rest. The padouk also had a couple bars in the mid range that weren't voiced completely evenly with the rest, and gave it a unique signature. EDIT: the A above middle C, I think.

@zyllofmitain 4 года назад

The rosewood sounds more like... raindrops? Bloop, bloop, bloop... The padouk was like doong, doong, doong. More attack, slightly longer sustain.

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

Interesting character isn't it! Probably comes down to personal preference after a while :)

@revs759 4 года назад

Hey Adam, I’m playing your piece “Moon” for a performance but due to time restrictions i won’t be able to play the whole piece. Do you have any suggestions on a good place to stop?

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

I'd say just before the octave section would be good!

@cpatlynch 4 года назад

I would love to hear equal priced marimbas made out of different wood (i.e. select padauk vs rosewood, both at $12k or something like that). cool video though thanks! Also, as a side note, one of the biggest differences between Padauk and rosewood is that rosewood is significantly harder so Padauk is much easier to dent (They are both similarly strong though). As far as sound goes, Padauk is supposed to ring for a shorter amount of time (i.e. decays faster) in the higher range, and in my experience that seems to be the case.

@Z6D4C4 4 года назад

Rosewood is inherently more expensive than Padauk. This is the most equal comparison.

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

Yes unfortunately padauk will always be cheaper than rosewood, even the most expensive padauk keyboard won't be close to entry level rosewood :) and your observations are correct!

@mellymeluwu8043 2 года назад

got them all right lol, there's more of a slapping noise for the padauk marimba so it stands out differently for me.

@skatardrummer1 4 года назад

Padauk sounds way different to me. Always has. It is quite plunky and has more cutoff. I don't care for Paduak for all repertoire. It has its applications.

@dtopham100 2 года назад

Adam, What would we sacrifice if we play a marimba without resonators? i.e. Just volume? Or also tone quality? Any difference in rosewood and padauk in that case?

@AdamTanPercussion 2 года назад

You'd lose the resonance of your tone, so it will not project and will sound more 'thin', but yes still a difference between rose and padauk even without resonators, the padauk won't ring nearly as long or warm as the rose.

@TOOMUCHDOG-lv7ly 3 месяца назад

what i noticed was that the padauk seemed slightly louder and seemed to have that fat base sound while rosewood sounded slightly warmer

@Pabloperez-rd5wg 7 дней назад

Mayas invented the marimbas which we play the most is a music traditional and we play the most in Guatemala 🇬🇹

@davidpulanco2715 3 года назад

The bass notes of the rosewood were more resonant. I also feel there was a bit more attack in the rosewood, but I don't play marimba :)

@pipebandrudiments 2 года назад

got the first and third ones correct. the second/Bach piece I couldn't tell, got it wrong b/c I was just guessing. the difference for me was all in the low end regarding resonance. there seemed to be better resonance and less attack on the rosewood in the low end.

@bradalpert6995 4 года назад

Malletech now has a 5.0 octave padouk marimba with resonators for $6000 at Steve Weiss. I have an Adams 4.3 padouk concert series and love it (Rosewood bars are also available). I am hopeful that they will soon have a 5.0 octave version. They have conversion kits to go from 4.3 to 5.0 octave for some of their rosewood marimbas. I hope they make one for mine. Don't forget, rosewood is an ENDANGERED SPECIES. Other than price, that's another good reason to use padauk. What do think Adam?

@miguelangellorenteferrer7056 4 года назад

Hi Adam, I love your videos, I have a question for you: Did you specify if the rosewood marimba is rosewood from Honduras? I think I am almost sure to see the pictures in the minute 2:36 that it is about African rosewood, without a doubt it is another tree different from the family of Dalbergias, it is about the Swartzia Fistuloides Harms, a wood of hardness similar to the rosewood of Honduras. but a little drier even than the African padouk. Or maybe I'm wrong ... A greeting!!

@jordant717 6 месяцев назад

I actually prefer the padauk sound a teeny bit more in this video...wondering how much the floor makes the difference as well.

@JonathanHernandez-zw1zj 4 года назад

@anonymousone3998 4 года назад

Rosewood has a "depth" to its sound that padouk lacks. Having played and recorded myself on a padouk, however, I actually don't think padouk is THAT bad and some brands sound pretty good. If someone has enough money for a padouk instrument I wouldn't discourage it if waiting would be over a reasonable period of time for a rosewood.

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

Yes I think high quality padauk instruments are still concert worthy!

@oxoelfoxo Год назад

For half the price I'd take the cheaper one if I were to ever buy a marimba.

@percussionpro8607 4 года назад

I got 1/3. I need to compare padauk and rosewood more.

@rubennys8086 4 года назад

1/3 right :/ tho i've been playing for 11 years. I had a cheap 4,3 padauk for the majority of the time and only recently acquired a 5 octave rosewood. Pretty impressive with how well the padauk one sounds in your video in comparison to the one I have.

@AdamTanPercussion 4 года назад

Yes it's crazy! High grade padauk instruments are usually on par with entry level rosewood :)

@JoseFlores-rk5ti Год назад

The Paduk had a clunkier sound and the Rosewood sounded smoother and less like a mallet was hitting a sodden block. (Coming from a Woodwind player)

@JoseFlores-rk5ti Год назад

Wooden*

@andyzou7890 10 месяцев назад

To my opinion, padauk and rosewood sound almost exactly the same on stage (though I haven't really brought on stage a rosewood marimba lol), but when you put them in a small, tight room, you'll notice the difference. Padauk would almost always produce aggressive notes, creating a sense of "explosion" or distortion. Rosewood would still be as nice, rich, and mellow as it would be on stage. That's how I differentiate the two.

@BMWHP2 Год назад

I build classical guitars. In classical guitars, Padauk (to my ears) sound better than many Rosewoods. 1 problem is, that there is not 1 type of Padauk and not 1 type of Rosewood. It is more about taste than tonal quality.
