    God, not only is Ivan Trevino (the composer), amazing at writing good pieces, but their interpretation of the music is so perfect for this piece.

    I am now in love with Ivan Trevino's writing. I love this duet, Catching Shadows, and 2+1. I really want to start learning some of his pieces. They're just stellar, and amazing players too!

    I love how you can hear the attack of the mallets but it's still soft and pleasant. Awesome recording!

    2:30 makes me feel at peace I'm in high school and this by far is the best piece I've heard In a while

    Sounds like a remix of Catching Shadows, this is beautiful and love the chemistry guys

      @minablack2004 Год назад

      It's got some of the best ideas from both Catching Shadows and 2300 Degrees along with its kwn complete uniqueness especially in the chorus around the 2:45 mark that shows up a couple times

    Dang! I bet the sheet music looks black with all of the notes they're playing

    • @virginia1273
      @virginia1273 5 лет назад

      It's actually not so bad! Yes it's a lot of notes but there are a lot of repeated patterns/melodies.

  • @ChaseHarrington0523

    Gaaaaa so tempted to ask my band director to buy this for me and my friend to play. This is great. I listen to it every night while I do my homework.

      How long did it take you to learn it?

    • @ChaseHarrington0523
      @ChaseHarrington0523 8 лет назад

      Thanks! I'll keep that in mind when we look for a song to play at our spring concert next year.

    • @ChaseHarrington0523
      @ChaseHarrington0523 8 лет назад

      If you don't mind me asking how old are you? Like sophomore, senior,... I'm just getting an idea of how long it might actually take.

    You guys play so beautifully together and everything grooves so well and sounds great. I have been working on this piece with a student, we hope to virtually record it together and I have listened to and watched this video many times. It never gets old. Great playing, thank you for sharing it with all of us.

  • @homerinchinatown2
    @homerinchinatown2 4 года назад +3

    Beautiful piece, beautiful playing, beautiful audio - but what's the story on the video quality? I don't tend to fuss, but this looks like it was shot using the NASA mars rover or something. I watch classical guitarists and other similar things sometimes and it's just simple and elegant. This music and performance deserves the same....

    Excellent performance! Quick question, how do you find the Burton grip compared to the Stevens grip on Marimba?

    • @ericpercussion100
      @ericpercussion100  8 лет назад +13

      I find it does not add extra strain to my hands like Steven's grip had done to me in the past. It is important to understand no Four-mallet grip is perfect and all have their pros and cons.

      +Manuel Mota I am using Van Sice's mallets through Vic Firth. I believe Brant is using Stout's from Malletech.

    Stupid Question: Does this have to be on two 5 octaves, or can it be on two 4.3's?

    • @ericpercussion100
      @ericpercussion100  9 лет назад +1

      MrMagicpantz200 It is intended for 2 5 octave marimbas, however we have played this with one 5 octave and a 4.3 before and switched interments half way through.

    4:20, brown hair switches technique. Are thumbs supposed to be inside the the stick or on it?

    • @hereb1
      @hereb1 8 лет назад

      He is playing cross grip, which needs the thumb inside at times to expand to larger intervals.

    @rachelaganmusic 5 лет назад

    After playing this myself I feel like it's safe to say that the balance between you two was not as good as it could've been. So much low marimba, not enough of the high marimba, even though that's the part that usually has the melody.
