West Side Story Percussion

I got a chance to play West Side Story this year with a 31 piece orchestra. It was definitely an amazing experience playing the full orchestration. The musical director let me have a little fun in the Mambo...I reorchestrated the drums/percussion for that section. Here are some clips from a GoPro video of the show. Enjoy!

I loved the what you guys did with Mambo! Is sounds much more authentic

What vibe mallets are you using? Love the sound sound!

Sounds like you all had a bit fun in the mambo... not that I don't like it, it just sounds different to me and I'm not used it tbh
