Jazzy little vibraphone piece today. While a lot of this could theoretically be done by one performer, the focus here is mostly on the trading between the players, hence the panning.\

As always, these pieces are welcome for anyone and everyone to play! All I ask is that you share it with me, because I'd love to hear it done by live players!

1958.

Arguably the best of the many "crime jazz" records that were made in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Self indulgent marching band raph! One verson with and without his mask (Click for better quality)

If the others were also in marching band, I think Mikey would play trombone, Leo clarinet, Casey would march tenors, and Donnie or April would play sousaphone or flute though I’m not sure who would play what

as a mallet percussionist i randomly experience pure fury because of how rude non-band people or non-mallet players will be to mallet percussionists because they call an instrument the wrong name.

so heres the main mallet instruments seen in marching bands, and i think at the same time, concert ones.

these are glockenspiels, also called bells. NOT XYLOPHONES. glockenspiels or bells

theyre small, metal instruments typically played with plastic or hard acrylic mallets and have a high-pitched sound that rings out very well. they do not have resonators

these are xylophones.

xylophones are slightly bigger instruments, made of real or synthetic wood. they have very thick keys and small resonators. they can be played with hard yarn mallets or acrylic ones, and have a higher pitched sound (although usually lower than a glockenspiel)

these are vibraphones.

theyre metal with thinner keys, and theyre yellow sometimes !!!!!!! usually silver though. they have a pedal that control soft pads under the keys, which is how they make both muffled / shorter sounds, as well as loud ringing ones. they have bigger resonators than xylos

these are marimbas. MY FAVORITE EVER !!!!!!!! i heart marimbas <333

marimbas are the biggest mallet instrument, even getting up to FIVE octaves. they are made of rosewood or synthetic wood and have massive resonators. they have a deep, rich sound to them and are very heavy. they dont have a pedal or anything and they have somewhat thick keys that get thinner towards the center.

there you go :3 a silly little mallet percussionists ramble about instruments !!!!

Percussionists please listen

Man you know marching band might have stolen four years of my life and I still have nightmares about it ten years later but

This song would make such a slapping percussion section warm-up oh my GOD

I wish I knew how to write music lol

All the parts are there!!! Pretty much

Like the marimba part would be the most complicated (but certainly not impossible for high schoolers) I think and idk if the snare stuff is easy or hard but it's already written in there as the typewriter and I lov e this song

Vibes/bells would have it pretty easy which is better for beginner players anyway

Idk about the rest though

Anyway just wanted to share ;-; I would send it to my old percussion instructor because he's a master at writing / transcribing but he ended up being a creepy PDF file :') rip
