What’s YOUR favorite mallet instrument?
Marimba, Glockenspiel, Xylophone, and Vibraphone.
Hey why not pick them all, right?! They each have their own great qualities about them!
@@ZacharySavinsky Yeah I know.
vibraphone + steel pan+ my favorite paino
Oh steel pan is so cool! Wish I knew how to play.
I just dropped by to get basic information, as a friend just gave me a student xylophone.
But, as you know, the amount of knowledge shared here needs more attention than a drive -by viewing. Very impressive with your vast knowledge base, the overall presentation of the video, and most of all, your confidence level as a commentator. Because I'm older,(61 complete revolutions around the Sun) I can't help but think about how proud your parents must be. I certainly am...(& subscribed)

Like your mood. Explanation's rhythm are just perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Helped me majorly with my music appreciation class.
Glad the video helped you! Let me know if there's any other content you'd like to see👍
Hi! My school just had a gift from some local organization and we got a few instruments for our School's marching band. One of them is a Marimba, around 3 octaves long i think? Just had them a few months ago, and i was soo happy to have the skill for it, since our marching band officers told me that I was the one who's gonna play the marimba from now on. Just came across your video and thought it was very helpful, since i still feel new around my Marimba despite using it for many band practices. I didn't know that a Marimba was basically a percussion instrument so i guess that makes me a percussionist? Still have no idea about that one. Just wanna say thank you for creating a video about these cool instruments, definitely will check out ur other vids man!
-sending love from the Philippines 🎉
I’ve been doing percussion for a long while now, but I’m only now getting the chance to really get into mallet percussion. I’ve had a couple glockenspiel parts here and there, but nothing major. This quarter though I have a very big xylophone part along with my first marimba solo! This video has been really helpful with getting me to better know these instruments so I can better improve my own playing. Thank you, and I can’t wait to see what I get to play next.
You're welcome! Let me know if there's any other videos I can make to help you on your journey!
Hey! Great video! I just want to say that as a percussionist myself I’m very happy that you want to educate people on mallet instruments and how different they are. I will say that you did leave out a very rare mallet instrument that I don’t think you knew existed, there are only 6 of them made and I just so happen to have one in my house. It is a 5 octave marimba but it has three more notes that are lower and is called a 5 and a 3rd. Have a great day!
Wow amazing video. So hard to find videos about percussion. Thank you
You’re welcome! Let me know if there’s any content you would like to see in the future!
Wow, what an informative video! Found this when I couldn't think of the name of the vibraphone and glockenspiel kept on coming up in my searches, which I knew was not correct, lol. As a former violinist, it's so interesting how the sheet music is printed and read! Still sounds complicated to me and is breaking my brain a little bit, but I get it 😄
Excellent tutorial. Aloha from Hawaii.
Thanks Zach !
You're welcome!
Great video! Super informative and straight to the point. This is a great resource. Thanks for making!
I appreciate your kind words! Thank YOU for watching!
10:57 You don't want to know the price of that Concert Glockenspiel she was playing... although, with the right Mallets, you can make that Glockenspiel sound just like a Celeste Piano.
I'd like to know iff I'm correct. Thier is a song by the Fortunes ( Rick n Roll) " That Same Old Feeling" Are they using the Marimba wood Xylophone with the Resonators. I just love that tune it's sounds soft !
Have you ever seen or heard info about a tenor xylophone? Some orchestral works call for one (like Orff's Trionfo di Afrodite) but there's no info about them anywhere that I can find. I'd presume w/o more info that it just has a lower range but sometimes range differences comes with a bit of a color shift as well so I hate to assume.
Hi, are there any cons on using wooden mallets on the Glock?
hi dear friend good evening how are you? excuse me is there a glockenspiel instrument but it's first note to be c 4 in the middle octave and this model of glockenspiel instrument that you have spoken about it it's first note is almost in fa and sol 5 octave? and please guide/lead me.
What four mallet technique was she using in the vibraphone demonstration?
Cross Grip! It's more effective when playing on vibraphone over Stevens Grip. Mostly due to the flat surface of the vibraphone over the raised "black keys" of the marimba/xylophone.
Great informative video. Can you recommend a marimba or vibraphone brand/model for beginners? Not kid-sized but for adults. I don't want to break the bank when starting out.
Mallet instrument are sturdy. You wouldn’t break anything for a few good years. That being said, my band uses a lot of Majestic brand.
for what you want, check out the yamaha ym-1430 padauk marimba. it's about $4000, but it's a hearty fella
thanks
You're welcome!
How would you tune a vibraphone?
You don't. The tuning of the bars is set by the manufacturer. And for whatever reason they use A=442 or 443 Hz almost always, rather than A= 440.
Is the Marimba the one you usually hear in film scores and corporate ads doing the low notes?
Yes. No xylophone or vibraphone can go that low.
