12 types of mallet players you will meet / Vibralph 

*Resonators* , not pipes.

I will never meet any mallet players cuz who has a mallet

@@wastedintelligence9040 pipes would still be an accurate description, as it describes their shape.

WastedIntelligence *I was born with an exceptionally high IQ* , not iamverysmart.

Wheatless Bread mallet. What. That’s what you play keyboards with. A mallet.

Chase Gessner that’s me before band starts literally playing megalovainia until the teacher yelled at me

that’s EVERY percussionist in my band

That's me

OMG that's my band

should replace 8

lol not one

Bro at my school there’s only 3 including me and 1 of them only plays piano and not mallets. I would have a stroke if I met 12 mallet players.

Uhh... I’m a four mallet player

@@marina6424 There is only one at my school, 3 in my school at one would be crazy. I only met other ones because I have been to honor bands so I see the ones from other schools

Lol same

David Mills bro

I got here at 12

Oof.

F

Same

same here, i’ve been playing for 7 years

ngl same

13 years! I can now do a piston stroke 😌

I have been playing for two days and know 4 mallet grip, though I do have jazz and piano experience

Jenna Magee that’s so true

And that last note was way too confident for a beginner

They write the notes under the notes

Do they not...? When I was a beginner I wrote in my music... that’s why I’m not a beginner anymore...

Bro I draw pictures in the sides of my music now

Alyssa R the phone The phone is ringing

Watch the metamorph show by the blue devils

blue devils

NAH your actually right lol

Increasingly Irrelevant who are you agreeing to

I want to, but I can't

NeoN he doesn’t sound like gru..

He sounds like gru with a low voice

10,000 subscribers with no videos ...not really

@@evanbookout yes he does

@@wackadack9601 Not that much

Love the anekdote, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Number 8 is one we all admire to be but never truly are.

Me

My teacher wanted me to play louder on vibraphone in marching band, but it worked too well so when I played the steelpan this year I was 3 times as loud as everyone else.

I can't sight. I guess that's why I can't read.

It’s such a mood not even kididng

Joseph Murray the joys of auxiliary

Haha playing the marimba can have it's advantages.

Why the heck was the marimba behind the timpani?? lol

Vibralph lol

Evan Bookout we don’t use the marimba often so it’s mostly stored at the back. We do play it often for recreation but not for orchestra

holynova15 ah gotcha Get your band to play marimba more

Isla Ruiz wow cool opposite My binder is a mess but last year my teacher moved me up to vibe 2 from xylo in marching band because somebody quit. Still a bad counter tho

@@evanbookout I somehow have two copies of music for nearly every piece my band plays... I think I accidentally steal other people's when we finish a practice and pack a way or something because they just keep multiplying

Eleanor Cross heh

He was too late to make the list

Damn, lily must've done something to you XD.

Thanks for the comment! Remember that music is fun and there is no such thing as a bad playing if you remain strong and happy on stage. Will you let me know how it went? :)

I’m kind of in the same situation as you!

Dang your so talented

Thanks ! I'm open for suggestions :D

All us young pit percussionists..

keep at it buddy 🤗

It would certainly fit the way a Joker would execute it.

I think even the most pro readers still have these moments from time to time ;)

Haha as long as you keep having fun, it's all good

Ew why Havana Sorry but why

@@evanbookout because I like it -_-

Trish Young hec sorry 🤣

two years is still pretty beginner anyways

Strongly disagree, percussionists need to have a ton of skill in note reading since our sheet music is made differently from the rest of the band, we also need to know how to play literally every instrument we decide to play since we are expected to be able to the moment we say “I’m a percussionist”. Please, TRY to learn percussion sheet music, try our instruments, try waiting countless measures for your part just for the conductor to make the rest of the band work on individual parts RIGHT before yours, THEN talk about us not needing talent.

Bandpractice? ;)

I played vibes my last semester, and it was fun! I don't play it for pieces that need to be learned in a month or two, because I'm bad with time management, and bad with sight reading

@@linkiislinkii I've met a couple people that were asked to play vibe, but had problems playing with mallets at the same time as using the pedal. They had only played marimba, and playing with mallets had become second nature. When adding a pedal, they had trouble breaking their focus on their hands and use the pedal. Best way to describe to a fellow geometry dasher is getting used to flying a ship and then trying to upside down straighfly. Just another step they weren't use to at the time. Hopefully this explaination isn't just a ramble of words...

I played an improvisation during the show off.

CrimsonP0TAT0 thanks for clarifying that for us

My teacher always tells us that XD

Doesn't matter if the rest is faster than you maybe are. You made the vibes so congrats!

Happens to the sixth grade band at my school lmao

also I'm 100% #10

I use several types of mallets, Most are from Mike Balter and Musser. From the top of my head I used the Musser Good Vibes M-229 in this video

I did not. I started in a classical orchestra. Later on I added bigbands, jazz combos but also popbands and finally studio recordings. But no DCI maybe in the future

I wouldnt do any of this on a Marimba or Xylo but nothing is hard or heavy enough to do any damage to a Vibe

It is called: Improvisation #1 by Ralph Adriaansen

Vibralph thank you sm!

I have thought the same several times. It turns out to be a small screw in the wall
