Always amazed by the quality of the value video! Would definitely love to see you review the She E Wu mallets if you could get a hold of them, either way keep making them vids Adam 👏
Javonis Adams Haha thanks for the suggestion, I don't get much success from mixing Marimba One mallets because they are too ergonomically different. Might work for some people though!
I know other people have already recommended it, but you should really check out the Thomas Burritt mallets from Innovative Percussion. I love their sound, especially on Bach. I played Bach's first cello suite last year on a Marimba One 3100 with a set of 4 TB-3s, and it had great blend and tone at all registers.
I personally like these better than the Ivana Bilic mallets. I felt no matter which Bilic mallet I used, they seemed a bit too clunky. I felt more of a balance and more control with the Round Sounds. I used them playing Virginia Tate and Restless, using a soft mallet for mallet 1, and the rest mediums.
Hey, you should do a review of the concerto series from Malletech :) Also you should try to get the other set of graduated mallets from encore (Anthony DiSanza Two Tone Series)!! Love your videos!
Thanks for the suggestion man! I've tried the CN4s before as a bass mallet and they were okay, a bit fluffy in terms of contact sound but not bad :) I'm trying to get a few things from Encore so maybe they'll send me that! Thanks for watching!
Hey Adam! I'm loving the videos! (both the vlog and studio series) How do you go about the Variations on a theme by ____.? Do you rearrange a piano part or just go with what you feel? Keep up the great work!
Hey Kyle, thanks for watching both channels :) I usually just figure out the chord pattern (you can see I gravitate towards pop songs which have easy chord patterns HAHA) and then I put the melody in my right hand and just try and put the chords in a traditional marimba style arrangement. Something like that!
First off, I really like your videos, great job! It might be hard to get a hold of but I'd like to see some reviews of the Elite mallets, preferably even some comparison.
I play the Miqeul Bernats signature mallets (I have all six sets) and I have never played with any other mallets that sounds better (in my opinion). I've played lots of other mallets but I have never played any mallets that sound the same. I think you either hate or love it. Would be cool with a comparison video!
Well, yeah. But I also think that you either love them or hate them. There is not much in between. I've owned the van Sice, the Daniel Berg, the LHS, the Kevin Bobo, the Summits and probably some more that I can't remember at the top of my head. I usually love them to begin with and two days later I'm back to Bernats! It should also be mentioned that I've tried lots more than the ones I've owned! Perhaps it's acquired taste.
Definitely! I think there is definitely no right or wrong choice when it comes to favourite mallets, and it's exciting that you have finally found a series to commit to :)

Thanks brother! I have been interested in those for a while as well, but thanks for watching :)
you should do a video where you mix different marimba one mallets to find the best four mallet combination
Javonis Adams Haha thanks for the suggestion, I don't get much success from mixing Marimba One mallets because they are too ergonomically different. Might work for some people though!
I'd love it if you would revive Daniel Bergs Elite Mallets from Percushop. Amazing channel!
Great suggestion - I've had a look at Elite mallets before since they're also from Percushop (like the Inakis). Thank you for watching!

Elijah Gray Wow everyone keeps telling me about them, I've definitely got to try it! thanks for letting me know 😀

TenorGuy9913 I agree, the Bilic series is very weighty compared to these!

Viktor Hallin I'd always been intrigued in Elite mallets too. Thanks for watching man!

I just had a look at those... man they look crazy! I'd be keen to give it a try :) They must be pretty good if you have all six!

Really digging your channel! I'd like to see a review of the IP She-e Wu series.
Thanks keep it up!
Thanks for watching! I would really like to try the She-e Wus as well so I'll keep it in mind :)
Could you do a review on the sandi rennick mallets from innovative percussion plz
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm guessing those are marching mallets right? I learn something new every day hahaha
On all my mallets I tend to put lines to designate hardness just as well.
Mallets for dayz Oh wow, that's a clever idea! Wish I'd thought of that...
Adam, innovative percussion soloist series
you should review the Cangelosi mallets by Innovative percussion
Mmmmm so many good things from Innovative that I want to check out...
the mark fordsare nice too
Yup someone recommended those too! Hahaha you guys are on a roll...
Are the heads on the round sounds smaller than the usual mallet head? I would like to buy these for fast 2 mallet pieces. Great review!
Maheen Kara I’ve been wondering that too, I think they are, they are more compact
Might as well review the Myckas 😂
It's coming man, don't worry ;)
Woo! (:
Hey Adam, big fan I was wondering if you could review the Evelyn Glennie mallets? Keep up the awesome videos :)!
Great suggestion! They're made by Promark right? If I can get them I'll give it a go. Thank you for watching! :)
Adam Tan Yeah Promark thanks for making awesome videos :)!
Could you do a review on the Thomas Burritt mallet series if possible
Thanks for the suggestion! I've been asked to do this one a few times so I'll definitely consider it :)
There is a rattan option on thomann. Btw great channel! :D
Luka Ivir Thanks for watching! Strange that Thomann would have it because there's definitely no rattan option ahaha
Ok I take it back, maybe there is one! Woops...
"Not 6. Not 5. Not 21. [21???]" Dude youre hilarious
Couldn't help myself ;)
Hey Adam, I was wondering if you could do a review of the Mark Ford Series from Innovative Percussion. Love the videos
Thanks for the suggestion man, I've been asked to try this series out before, maybe I should just buy one...
Review the innovative percussion soloist series
Hahahahahaha okokokkokk
Are you gonna do vibe mallet reviews in the future???
Maybe when I have a vibraphone to play on! Ahahaha... I'm interested in it though so we'll see :)
Sweet man!
Innovative Percussion Soloist Series Adam
Should I buy these for regular use
How would these mallets sound on a vibraphone?
TheGlock They'd probably sound okay but I think the balance would be weird for something like vibraphone... not sure though 😀
Anyone recommend this for 2 mallet?
I think they are ok for 2 mallet! Reasonably easy to get going :)
I'm sorry, but I do not know English, I use the Google Translator ...
FIFTY FIFTY
These mallets look like watermelons
Legit though that's exactly what I call them LOL
