I was there and saw her many times in the 2004 season. Andrea always amazed me. Her control of the outer-most mallets is uncanny! Sounds like not a big deal, but it's not easy
This is Andrea...It is the Bach Chaccone for violin, originally a 14 min. work "drum-corp-ized" to 4 min. There was alot taken out to fit the I&E time limit, and it was taken a little quick. Not ideal, but I decided to play Bach for DCI. My hands were definitely in drum corps mode..it was different at my recital,I swear!:) I used a Low E, on a 5.0 you can use the Low 'D'(d minor),which is generally appropriate when transcribing violin music to marimba. I hope that answers many of your questions
Wow! This is really awesome! The quality of sound is outstanding! You aren't feather tapping is for sure. Are those Giff Howarth mallets? Great job, one of my favorites!
I started to learn this piece, but I hated the arrangement I had. This is a great arrangement, and it's one helluva performance. I know she's teaching DCI somewhere but can't remember where (Academy maybe???)
I can't tell if you used soft mallets to cover how hard you are hitting the marimba, or if you are hitting the marimba so hard because the mallets are too soft for the sound you are trying to achieve. Also, beware mixing MB's and LHS's of any hardness; MB series has a synthetic rubber core and LHS is a plastic ball with a rubber band around it. They produce different tone colors as well as different brightness levels which don't always work together.
Is that a DS 18 in the bass? No! And just because your middle mallets are usually for melody, it doesn't mean they should always be LOUDER! Other than that, I do like the romantic approach.
Technically it's marveously impressive, but musically it leaves me lacking like many of the corps performers. Not enough change of intensity in tone just like a violin player puts more emphasis and different bow directions and inflections into their performance, that is what would take this piece to the next level.
One of the first RUclips performances where I had no improvements to make (except maybe a better video camera). Very very very well done.
Back wrote something in D MINOR!! NO WAI!!
On another page this performance is epic :D
Very nice job! Love it!

to answer adamdawggs question, the top 2 mallets are jim casella 1002's, mallet 2 is a casella 1001, and i forget what the black one is
Totally digging those mallets.
christ the resonance in the higher octaves is unbelievable....it sounds like a vibraphone.
i love you!
This is what makes me want to join dci....way to be.
Chaconne from Bach's violin partita no.2 in D minor.

Ah so nice, I wish she would've played the complete "Chaccone"
