This brings back some awesome memories. Back in 1974, when I was still in Jr.High, there was a 7th grade kid who was one hell of a drummer. Every day he would be in as soon as the door was unlocked and would practice before band, and after school until his mom called to tell him to come home. He was practicing "Flight" but I don't think anyone realized what his plans were. He was working on his solo for state contest which didn't come until spring, and he was working on it in the fall. When it was the week before state contest, he had to play his solo in front of the band. We were all really impressed at his perfection, but what came next shocked us all. He walked around to the other side of the Xylophone and played it again. To say we were stunned is nowhere close to what we thought. On the day of contest, many of us poured into the room where he would be playing, and I would have loved to know what the judge was thinking about us all in there. He did the same thing there, played it from the "normal" side, then walked around and played it again from the back side. Sorry, I was a trumpet player so I don't know how to describe it better than that. That judge sat back in his chair, dropped his pencil and his mouth was hanging open as he couldn't believe what he was seeing. All from memory, no sheet music. The following Monday we all got our ballots with ratings and ribbons. Before the instructor handed this kid his, he read the judges comments out loud to all of us and his rating was a I++++++++. We had cheered for him when he finished it at contest, and we did it again that day. I don't know where he is currently but I do know that he became a pro drummer after college. I should ask his sister some time. Sorry about the book.
Mak@5 i don't know either... i can distinguish between a xylo and a marimba by the Sound of them being played without ever having played or studied any percussion instrument...
It’s obviously a xylophone because of the sound and mallet choice. If the question was on wether they believe otherwise, then no they are probably not joking.
I refuse to believe that this song is possible until someone actually plays this in front of me. Person to person. Face to face. Soul to soul. Eye to eye.
The idea of someone playing this on an inherently funny sounding instrument like xylophone all while staring you down with a smirk on a face is just perfect
Can people stop shitting on him? He didn’t claim he’s a god because he played this, he simply posted something for people to enjoy. If you don’t like it just click on another video.
@@cat-le1hf Sorry, i was mean 6 years ago! Hating on something isnt a cool thing to do... About your feedback: I need musical terms to know what you dont like about my composition. But at least thanks for trying to give me feedback. Do you at least like my tempo changes? Most of them are something called rhythmic modulation.
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts" (hee-eeh) And mother always told me, "Be careful of who you love And be careful of what you do (oh, oh) 'Cause the lie becomes the truth" (oh, oh), eh-eh
Well, technique isn't a fixed thing, this could be considered good in some parts of the world and bad in others. What I see here is someone who took in something that was a bit too hard , so they missed notes, playing zones and potential opportunities for brilliant musicality.
ian starks 2x speed would also change the pitch of each individual bar and as far as I can hear there's nothing wrong with it. and it seems like a average high school sized Marimba so there's not a lot of room for pitch changes.
hellisin666 Yes it does? Taking a video and changing a speed will make noise sound deeper or louder. UA-cam has a speed setting now, feel free to play around with it and see for yourself.
In 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon. 🤣
YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD ALSO BE FUNNY IS THAT IF THEY ADDED LIKE A HAMBOOOONING LIKE WHEN RIGBY SAYS HAMBOOOONING IN THE SHOW REGULAR SHOW, LIKE THAT, THEY WOULD IT BE FUNNY IF THEY ALSO DID THAT. #HABOOOONING
No, in my experience it’s actually harder to play it on piano than it is on xylophone. On xylo you can replicate the same Wrist motion for every note and since you only have two mallets it becomes much easier to play even notes. On piano, with my experience, it’s much harder to play the sixteenth notes evenly and is easier to swing
Rama Aditya I would assume that he could if he has that level of knowledge of the instrument already, as I do as well. I’ve learned this for mallets and it’s not super hard to get the motions down as it’s repetitive wrist motions
Everyone whos saying "sped up" has obviously never played an instrument in their life. Seriously, freshmen in highschool marching band PIT play pieces harder than this. People need to stop putting flight of the bumble bee on a god tier, masters-only status
Ling ling can play 50 notes a second on every strings, every winds, every percussion instrument, play fortnite, be on his phone in the practice room, kung pao chicken, mapo tofu, hula hoop, and solve a rubiks cube with 1 hand at the same time
go on play that big piano withs sticks lol (jk, I just thought your comment was funny cause thats really the most straightforward way to explain the instrument)@@THEXRULAX
The principal overtone of a marimba is a fifth above the primary mode, but for a xylophone it's an octave. The reason is that the marimba has thinner bars, hence the torsional mode of vibration is stronger than for a xylophone. The strongest (primary) torotional mode has a frequency equivalent to a fifth (the interval, equivalent to a (2^(2/3) multiplier of the basic frequencey) above the primary mode.

Isn't xylophone a class of instruments of which marimbas are a member of?

Blueye Demon might as well explain the meat and bones (vibraphone) while you’re at it...
also vibraphones are made out of metal but marimbas and i think (i’m not sure) xylophones are mad of wood
The principal overtone of a marimba is a fifth above the primary mode, but for a xylophone it's an octave. The reason is that the marimba has thinner bars, hence the torsional mode of vibration is stronger than for a xylophone. The strongest (primary) torotional mode has a frequency equivalent to a fifth (the interval, equivalent to a (2^(2/3) multiplier of the basic frequencey) above the primary mode.
