I have added links to all of the mallets and instruments used in the video to the description.

[@BoHista23]

When Usnavi went off-tempo I would've gotten eternally distracted. Props to you for being able to focus so well for two entire hours.
EDIT: Multiple times a week no less.

[@charlotte.grubbs]

And people say percussion is the easiest 🙄 I’m soooo done😂

[@JoeMartone]

Hahaha thanks for watching

[@shoe_bird]

Those conga parts are so clean 😌

[@silasreimer]

I've been waiting for something like this. Seeing videos like these helped me with playing percussion in the ensembles I'm in.

[@JoeMartone]

Awesome I’m glad it helped.

[@MongerOfStrings8222]

I've been watching these again and I've never noticed how much nuance is really needed for playing congas.
It looks easy but the hand movements are so specific and precise

[@ismailavci1822]

I am a 8 year pianist. After watching your videos i changed my mind. I will become a percussionist.

[@MusicalRocky]

I need more videos like this in my life.

[@antiv]

So cool. Please keep posting pov vids like this

[@JoeMartone]

I'm working on some right now. Stay tuned

[@antiv]

@@JoeMartone Awesome!

[@AndreyOkhrimets]

Thank you so much. Great videos. Gives you insight, about work of percussionist in various setups.

[@AndreyOkhrimets]

wow, this is insanely good. Bravo. Such diversity of sounds.

[@ignacio.gonzalez.osb_dc]

Fantastic, Joe! All of the cues have to be spot on and perfectly-timed -- I'd never be able to do what you are capable of doing! I'm also a pianist/organist, but wish I were a percussionist after watching your video. Thanks for this great behind-the-scenes look at what makes "In the Heights" such an amazing work of art!

[@etienneperley8240]

Wow Absolutely AMAZING JOB man that is some tough percussion stuff just incredible!

[@Adrian-dl9nb]

Awesome!

[@styphox7841]

OMFG KEEP IT UP :0

[@jessefair4970]

What attachment do you have on your triangle where you were rolling with mallets and it was playing the triangle?

[@sgeekmc8530]

Jesse Fair its called a Miller Machine!

[@spike6192]

I bet you if I was singing, everyone would throw tomatoes at me, so ima stick to percussion and not singing. No way!

[@JoeMartone]

Same here

[@thatwookiee9275]

When were these performances going on?

[@JoeMartone]

A few years back now
