Did you have the sheet music or did you figure it out by ear? This is awesome! I have always wanted to do something like this, that is why I am asking.
I left youtube playing vibraphone/marimba music to nap to but this one woke me up as soon as my ears heard it. Then it put me back to sleep- in a good way.
Listened to this while doing my book report on the Hobbit. As a marimba player and percussionist myself, this is truly spectacular to hear! Fantastic Job!
Just incredible. You are a FANTASTIC arranger and I hope someday you make lots and lots of money as a composer/arranger, because you deserve it! This is my favorite film score ever, and your interpretation makes me feel like I just heard it for the first time. Thank you!
Magnificent. I enjoy the sound track CDs from the Movie. However, the transcription, arrangement and performance you made captures the whole feeling of the work even better.
Fantastic! The Lord of the Rings series are my favorite movies, and I listen to the soundtracks all the time. But this gave it a wonderful new feel. :)
I am both a percussionist and a lord of the rings lover. That was absolutely beautiful.

2:12 Your timing for the glockenspiel and vibraphone entrance was PERFECT
From what I'm seeing this is off memory and not a ear piece. Mad skills.
Great job arranging and playing all of that music! Your medleys are incredible.
Glad to hear that from a fellow youtube-musician! ;)
Yours are great too!
***** why not an arrangement of something between the two of you? I think it'd be awesome :)
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! Looooooord of the Riiiiiiiiings!
Thank you for this video!!
Ally Link RINGERS FOR LIFE!!!

dammit man...this is better than the pirates one...well done indeed
My favourite movie/book franchise meets one of my favourite instruments! Thank you
I'm new to even hearing these instruments, and am and avid LOTR fan. This is incredible.
When he is not playing you can see him thinking the music....truly and talented wonderful person!
concerning hobbits is my favorite piece of the soundtrack. I also really love the elve's lament for Gandalf
18 peeps never picked up an instrument in their life and have no Idea of the work needed to get this good.
Just incredible. You are a FANTASTIC arranger and I hope someday you make lots and lots of money as a composer/arranger, because you deserve it! This is my favorite film score ever, and your interpretation makes me feel like I just heard it for the first time. Thank you!
haunting is hard to do on such a happy instrument, but it is done.
You inspired me now I've been playing 5 years thank you
YESS he's back
your viva la vida solo is what really motivated me to get good at marimba now I spend all day locked in practice rooms with a marimba
Impressive, J.R. Tolken would be proud
My musical Hero
Those "Tubular Bells" fit this one like a glove :)
Awsome. Impressive. Epic.
From instrument, to videos, compositions, setting: great!
Do an Elder Scrolls/Skyrim melody please.
This is so crazy good. The talent, arrangement, and I can't even begin to imagine the logistics of putting everything together.
That was great! I look at it and do not believe that all this is played by one single person!
I Love Lord of the rings AND I Love Marimba so ist's really cool
Dude, just great man! Listen to it in the middle of the night in your bed in a dark room and it's so perfect
Omg I love the music for LoTR it's so peaceful.

I'm a marimba player myself and I have loved watching every video of yours. :) Totally wish I had that much talent. Keep going at it! :D
Superb arrangement perfectly performed! Thanks!
