Odessa by M. Lorrick played by Miroslav Dimov 

I think you try an easier piece for exemple Alice Gomez Rain Dance

@@nemethtamas1100 Nah that's too easy.

But the odessa is too hard after the yellow

@@nemethtamas1100 yeah I know 😂😂I was just trolling. Luckily I never had to play Yellow After the Rain

This comment has my dying I love you!! 😂

Luke Jacobs wowwww you played it when you’re a junior? I’m in 3rd grade and I advanced to national competitions with this 😤😤😤 -every kid in solo comments ever

As a junior? Jesus fucking Christ kid.

For a second I thought junior high and I es wondering what I was doing with my life.

As you should! Congrats, man!

yo that’s bonkers well done

Didn't think I'd see you here, love your Super Mario Bros. marimba arrangement!

@@Yonaseen Thx!

Hey Aaron! Thanks for the kind words, Miro is a great player! This is Lorick, the composer. Would love to do a collab with you at some point! Really enjoy your videos. Let me know if you would be interested! mlorick89@gmail.com

L M woah is that actually you

@@simeonlee3207 yep! Nice to meet you! Send me an email and I’ll send you some music!

Preston Dowling I agree 100%

idk why, but that part always reminds me of Bowser's castle

Ovations for you Mr Lorrick . The music you wrote is fabulous.!

Hannah Ulrich me too...

Brandon Nesmith lol well said

Brandon Nesmith arent you so cool, being all pretentious?

the only issue is notation

Rhiannon Mueller hey thanks! Very nice of you.

fr why is it so hard😂

totally agree

Some people can never be satisfied and you are discouraging people. People make little or no money from music these days, not here or elsewhere so there is a limit to what young people should spend their time and effort on because when they get older they need financial reserves which music does not offer any more. I was extremely impressed by the skill and the piece - my compliments Miroslav. We used to be in the arts; whatever you do there's always someone coming up with clever advice, knowing what to do.

@@hauptmannbalalaika That was a bit of an overreaction. I said this is the BEST performance I have seen of this piece (that statement still stands 2 years later as evidenced by me returning to the video). All I was inferring was that it's a shame that such a top notch performance has meh audio and video. No harm meant :)

@@ThatCheapDrummer Well, it's nice that the ladies and gentlemen can share in civilized discourse. Kudos to ThatCheapDrummer for keeping cool, especially since Ally Haup-Gurski's comment is fodder for the Manipulative Turd Regime that attempts to conceal brainwashing and mind-control as SUGGESTION (shame on you Turds). Regarding ThatCheapDrummer's sound quality comment: it is very relevant because within the first minute of this excellent performer's video, I found myself DISCOURAGED because I had to turn the volume down and back up, and down again, and back up. The HARSH attack of the mallets-on-bars hurt my ears...then, it didn't...then it did. THAT is the PERFORMER'S choices/preferences regarding INTERPRETATION of the COMPOSER'S written information, and I am not and will not pretend that me judging the performer's choices is just, warranted, valuable, or anything other than something personal to me. But... it's my right to make such observations, and it's anyone's right to make any SUGGESTIONS regarding the presentation. So, CONTRARY to Ally's manipulative comment, it is the PERFORMANCE/RECORDING that DISCOURAGED this listener. ThatCheapDrummer's comment actually ENCOURAGED me. Christ...hey... (oh, yeah...did I mention that I think the marimbist is a really skilled one?).

John John you took the words out of my word. Albeit you conveyed my thoughts in more formal and respectful way

Thanks dude!!!! Man next time youre in Bwood we gotta hang!!! Hope you and your fam are doing great!

Actually a lot of this piece is doable without a 5 octave but sadly the last 32nd note run and some chords are not possible on a 4.5

well then, with this information i may be able to actually play it. Im actually pretty good at note accuracy, but are the triple laterals not the difficult part? I am not very good at those

What about the triple laterals

@@bradenprice5826 ive actually found that to be the easiest part, it just requires u to do excercises if you dont have experience with them. The hardest part for me is that i get so burnt out. U need monster chops for this

@@laya.mani2015 Yeah lol they ended up being pretty easy, I got a 1 at solo and ensemble and took it to state last year

@@bradenprice5826 Congratulations! Im a sophomore and I just finished learning the notes. Im going to play this for solo and ensemble in the spring as wel

Thanks! :)

Large amounts of dedication and practice can accomplish anything

You are definitely right. I was making a joke.

Mallets for dayz how much you wanna bet

Well, I can actually play this now lol.

this piece hits different now that Odessa is in ruins and many innocent people are dying

It’s traditional grip

@@timmitny6310 ur pener smowl

Honestly still relevant a year later. Also it is depressing that I fell short of the 69th like, with me being the 68th

69th xD

@@Adam.Clark. i was 68b -_-

Lone Star percussion has it on their website.

May I ask where the score of this song is found?

冯义彪 www.pmeurope.com

babyboidev I bought the music for it and am planning on learning it later this year, and I'm in 10th grade. Looks like you beat me to it

I'm playing it in 8th grade. Edit: It's very difficult because my hands are very small and I'm using steven musser grip haha

EggSensei yo man same on the grip. its definitely a challenge. hope everything goes well during the process of getting it down. btw thats impressive, it would be dope to see you play it.

adamjack7891 no matter what it's gonna a challenge for most young percussionists. its going to be really fun at tempo though. not that im close or anything haha

Video or it didn't happen

Matthew Lorick Wow, thanks composer! I am finding this music and mallets( the better sound to play this music) Thank you for your advice:) Odessa is very nice music. I love it!!! from. Korean percussionist:)

@@marwanmoussa6835 oh yeah because the inner mallet is on bottom with Burton. I just watched a video of Burton (idr his first name) talking about his grip on the Vic Virth channel and I noticed that people including myself get confused between Burton and traditional. Either way I like to see people use grips outside of steven

He was my teacher and right now he is making another song called kiwi fruit

maybe try something with rattan shafts. it might be a technique issue. Even when striking the bars with extreme force similar to Dimov in this video, you should still be focused on pulling the sound out of the bar, not beating it into submission and forcing it to sing.

thank. i was using some crapy mike balter mallets that tore in the first 4 days.

ravel111 steve weiss music

You can google it and find it in like lone star percussion or something similar

joe Gonzalez sd1 general

At least you have a bottom Db. The lowest my school’s marimba goes to is an F. Be lucky you can afford that big of a marimba

Gamefly Mc Be lucky yours could afford an F, our lowest was an A natural. Only 4.3 octaves for a low income school with padouk bars

@@sergiosrandomco.362 Be lucky yours could afford an A. Mine only had a 3 octaves.

Axel Gray Bro thats a xylo, lmao

@@axelgray260 be lucky u have atleast 3 my school only has a 2.3 octave marimba

that is stealing. please save up and purchase the score.

Nicolas yes

Mallets for dayz thats what I want to know. Im buying the sheet music and I want to get mallets with it but I can't tell what mallets hes got

Mallets for dayz Exercise your wrist and practice a ton

I already do that. My 4 mallet callouses are half the thickness of my finger (from Stevens grip). I try to use my left hand as much as I can in everyday life to work it.

it shouldnt be that thick. you sound you need to lighten up. A lot. being relaxed is the key to playing loud and fast. It's also the key to not hurting yourself

He is using Burtons grip

+Sam Hardy Dude, you can see it from the video
