Marimba Skillz: 4 Mallets ON ONE BAR (Triple Laterals) 

I absolutely love this guy. He looks and acts like someone who is streaming from a colourful rainbow planet, with a smiling sunshine that has flying unicorns and showing us lowly earthlings his incredible talent

"140 is actually... kind of pushing it... SO LET'S DO 140!" 😂 You continually impress, Aaron! Super cool insight.

Update! Finally got around to uploading a simple sheet music version of this: drive.google.com/file/d/1zyuK_6A8AmqRTxVKnkcRJhpI46AVgoI3/view?usp=sharing I forgot to ask in the video, would anyone like sheet music to this? If so, please let me know! :)

10 minutes ago I'd never heard of triple laterals or even a marimbist, but I love this guy's videos!

Wow... this was wonderful. Even though I am not a marimbist it was so nice to listen to!

I feel like I'm getting carpal tunnel just by watching this video... Interesting trick and melodies! P.S.: On a side note, this is my first time hearing your speaking voice, it's very pleasant :)

Talent is what I'm hearin'

I love this guy. The hair, the voice, and the marimba skills. This sounds like it should be some countdown sound on a game show.

Aarons personality is so electric, I once heard you cant even hear him speak without an amp (you actually can but its REALLY quiet)

Always impressive Aaron...sheesh!!!✊🏼👊🏼

How does every small thing you do brighten my day beyond belief. You're fantastic!

Thanks for sharing your amazing skill with the world. 🙂

What the HECK dude! You are this good and you only practice every couple of months? I guess you mean, like, exercise/train, right? You must play all the time... Not sure why the algorithm recommended your vids to me but I've watched three and I'm convinced - you are a god amongst humans. That's an easy sub.

I never would’ve thought Michael Jackson would teach me triple laterals

Aaron, you seem like a great person, and this video made me feel genuinely good. I hope where ever you are you are having a fantastic day! And I hope your tomorrow is even better!

always end up finishing your videos with a smile! this was great to listen to! :)

Your energy honestly put me in a good mood.

i love this so much. this dude's just having fun with his instrument, not trying to show off or anything (though he should be)

So refreshing to watch you prectice. I dont play marimba but I certainly got a taste for musicianship and you have tonnes of that. Thanks

I'd be curious to see you try double laterals at that speed at the end. Probably be a good start to warming up to triples at crazy fast tempi!

I love watching your videos simply because of the absolute JOY you have for music. Thank you for always making me smile! I needed to see this today.

This is inspiring. And your playing and attitude is cool. keep a good work. and keep that fun aspect as well.

When you have all four on the same tile, I feel hypnotized

Disappearing in motion, fast and accurate technique, translation of time and knowledge ... thank you very much for this video ! It’s a ton of fun ! (And une goodbye is haha)

I have no idea what this content is but I'm here for it. There's a lot to be said for just... honesty, and pure joy of expression. It comes across!

I love your enthusiasm, always happy when I watch your content.

I LUV THE MARIMBA ITS THE BEST INSTRUMENT EVER, Aaron your skills are 10000000000/10

You have a great talent! Nice video! Saludos desde Guadalajara, México!!

I’ve done this by cheating and going to the side of the marimba on a low A... and man even then did it blow me away seeing you do that 😂

Very cool! Amazing skills

Loved every second of this video

I would've loved to see a transcribed version of this. Triple laterals seem interesting and you make it look fun.

I've been working on a four mallet piece for school. After struggling with a 32 note run, this totally blew my mind. Your technique looks awesome!

You are really talented at that instrument! You encourage me to do a lot of things and you make the best music!

...a human did this. somehow, this is achievable by humans.

WOW , seen a few of your vids, I'm a guitar player myself, who owns a vibraphone, the technical set here just blows my mind, props!!!!

Aaron!! Its ben dujakovich!! Ruskin high school baby!!! Ruskin eagles golden marching band!! ( and the crowd goes willld!! ) haha good to see you. STILLLL at it. So i went to school with charles . Aarons brother and him taught me . MR. WALKER !! Props. Best band teacher

I Never heard of your channel until today I first saw one of the Mario videos. I wanna give you the highest complement you changed my mind on percussion. Being a Bass player for about20 years I have made my share of percussion jokes. Also as a bass player I generally can pick up timpani and a basic drum set easily for so I was never impressed. Yet this skills challenge rocked my world! No way I could do what you were able to do without months if not years of practice. You have shown me the light that mastery of percussion takes as much effort as any other instrument all the jokes and orchestra hierarchy is bull. The amount of coordination you displayed is borderline uncanny. I hope more musicians come to realize percussion is just as enchanting of an art form. Keep rocking!

Man, watching you play four mallet triple lateral that fast on the same note i just about died..... the skill just blows me away

Thank you for sharing your talent. In enjoyed. 🌺🌷💖🌺🌷🌺🌺

I randomly discovered I could do this one day while waiting 151 measures to come in for one cymbal roll 😂😂

Extremely informative and you broke the technique down that it becomes easy to understand. Gained my subscription

Unexpected and fun! Love that marimba enthusiasm. Marimbiasm?

I absolutely love your voice.

Just found your channel. You have unlimited talent.

This was the best random youtube reccomendation I've ever gotten :D

i binged your channel and honestly man u are just Michael jackson but better like dude u got god tier talents

You've got serious talent! I'm glad that I'm subbed!

This young man is absolutely unbelievably talented!

That is amazing, sounding great!!!

Ciao dall'Italia🇮🇹 You are INCREDIBLE!

Much love and respect!

Great video. I enjoy your work, you have a real love of music and you're a killer marimba player.

I have no idea how to properly play marimba but this was actually mesmerizing! Good stuff!

Hello Aaron! Awesome playing! Thanks for upload. Playing marimba is really cool. Greetings, Chris!

🎼 Thank you for sharing all this precious experience! You are a great artist AaronGrooves 👏

You are very talented Aaron, I remember you from the World Stage. You are an excellent drummer as well... keep up the great work!

Awsome It was cool to see everything get Nintendo hard at the end

this is super super neat!! i'm definitely gonna try this exercise out. your technique in mastering the one-note triple lateral is something is really cool to see :)

Very impressive ! It looks like waves.

Do you go to UCLA, or do just have access to the rooms? Also, I'm playing rotation 1 so there's lots of those laterals in there.

Had no idea you existed until RU-vid algorithm put this on my recommandations. I do not regret taking the bait. Asides from your insane skills, I feel the joy you seem to get in sharing them, and feel like you'd be someone very cool to hang out with. :-)

you're a lot of fun. i love music

This guy is really cheerful! Subbed!

That's crazy hard.. Congrats!!

2:42 the magic happens there!

Enjoy to watch just like you enjoy to play

I've started doing triple lats on a single spot too! Never took the time to make it clean like yourself, but I accept this challenge!! Will definitely try this exercise, serious chop builder. PS. That outward lateral at 1:26 made me recoil and rub my wrists 😂

I love your presentation

For me hitting the right note with just one stick would be difficult. But I like when I see people enjoying themselves.

Bro you are an amazing and wonderful person, and I want you to have a really nice day. Thanks for uploading this :))❤️

I love it! Good Job!

Please keep making these. I was never great at keys when I was in band (I was primarily a kit and marching snare drum player) ,I want to purchase a marimba and actually get good.

Woah, just wow

Hermano simplemente extraordinario ... Agradesco compartas tu talento... Eres genial bro ✌️

I would love to hear you try a mainstream hip hop or rock song

You’re insane Aaron, LOL. Skillz!!

160 was the best! Well done!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Your lego pfp made me think you did stop motion for a second

that is sooo great

Mad skills!!!!!

yo bro u should make song covers with that marimba you are definitely awesome 🔥🔥🔥

Amazing.

Bob Ross vibes and I LOVE it

Sweet dude sounds nice 🤙 keep it up.

that was insane

Marimba Bob Ross

Yeeeeesirrrr

your setup is awesome! wondering if you could do a comparison between one of the real marimbas you have and the Pearl EM1 malletSTATION. that would be tight!

Holy crap, that's impressive!

Wait, what do you mean "when I get a marimba"? You don't have a marimba? That is not your marimba? This is unexpected. I am very impressed by both your motivation and your skills despite not owing your instrument. I hope you'll soon get one!

This reminds me of the super fast double lateral challenge!

YEAH MAN! GET IT

WOW!! You never fail to impress!! Might I suggest “Flower Garden” from Yoshi’s Island or maybe the Mission Impossible theme on the marimba? That would be killer!!

The bob ross of mallet based instruments

Nice wrist rotation!

that was way cool.

Yes is very nice laterally best internet friend 🎉🏆

Triple laterals on one bars is so fun 🙃😂

A black Bob Ross! JK Love what you do! Just subbed!
