    • Album - Holmes Percussion
    Snow Globe is a brand new (2020) vibraphone solo that is inspired by music from wind-up snow globes and music boxes. The performer must combine great left hand technique/dexterity with rhythmic independence to draw out the subtle melody over dense, moving harmonic accompaniment. This piece features a vast array of technical demands for the performer while still offering a memorable melody and musical fulfillment for the performer and audience.
    Mallets: Vic Firth Terry Gibbs Mediums (light blue)

    I wonder if people understand the complexity of having to use 4 mallets so effortlessly AND change their position to change chords so quickly and seamlessly

      And in the hardest grip in my opinion too

    Played this piece - and Hall of Mirrors - just recently for a percussion ensemble concert, and playing Insomnia for another one soon. It was, is, and will be a delight to play these pieces. Thank you so much, Cody and Benjamin Holmes, for the wonderful music you’ve written.

    Of all the instruments I ever wanted to learn, the vibraphone is at the top

    I think it's the harmony being used and the overall feel, but this reminds me so much of a mix between No Surprises and the new version of True Love Waits by radiohead lol, very cool

      Love radiohead. Wasn't thinking of these specific tunes when writing this, but I do love those songs.

    Oh wow this it so beautiful, someone told me about this vibraphone solo a while back and now that I’m lessening to it I’ve gotta learn it for my next year percussion solo so I can perfect it! It feels so calm and kinda sad at the same time, so many emotions at once. ❤

      Started learning this piece a few months ago but got frustrated with that left hand part and stopped. Just watched this again and inspired to dust this piece back off!

    This is so relaxing to listen to! Also, what kind of mallets are you using? I love how they cut through without being too sharp and I've been looking for a pair like this for a while

    • @HolmesPercussion
      @HolmesPercussion  4 года назад +5

      Thank you! They are Vic Firth Terry Gibbs Mediums - the light blue ones.

    Could anyone tell me which cross grip he's using?

    • @HolmesPercussion
      @HolmesPercussion  Год назад +1

      I’m using Burton! Grip doesn’t matter a whole lot. It’s best to use what you are comfortable with IMO. Also can depend on what you are playing.
