    Maikel van den Boomen (16-years-old) plays his own written 'Harry Potter Medley' on a 5-octave Marimba, a Vibraphone and a Glockenspiel. It's composed by John Williams. In my opinion, the best film music composer in the world.

      This is also a different setting. With marching band you typically have a conductor to lead you as well as several other players on the same part. In this case he is playing several different parts in one take, AND he is able to have them to line up which as a very hard achievement especially with no metronome or headphones to hear other parts.

    your technique is simply superb. reminds me of high school... I played marimba then.
    most other videos I find are terrible because of sound quality, because they don't know the proper way to strike with the mallet. you can't simply hit it, there is an area where you should strike and getting the mallet to kind of rebound or bounce off of the instrument gets that lovely resonant sound.
    very well done.

    • @juststeveschannel
      @juststeveschannel 7 лет назад +2

      Can't say how he did it, and regardless of how, it's very impressive and a great job, but one way of doing this is to record the first (and longest, most complete track) and then play that back at a very low level as you record the other layers. Since the first layer is then brought up in the mix of the later layers, it easily covers any "echo" of having two tracks of it playing.

      I quote myself: "...muggles LIKE THE DURSLEY'S", i.e. muggles who hate magic. Hence why there are dislikes from them, because they're muggles LIKE THE DURSLEY'S, whom hate magic.
      The other muggles here enjoyed this video, because we like magic.
      Reading comprehension.
      The fact I am a muggle, which you brought up, was already validated by my comment, I know I'm a muggle, but since I'm not like the Dursely's (in the way that I don't hate magic) I liked this video.
      Seriously, it was a 7 word sentence and you basically sipped the last three?

    I agree. Mr. Williams is the best composer for films. "A window to the past" is my favorite melody. It reflects sadness, melancholy and hopefulness for the future. Thank you for this interpretation!

    The two guys on the top must have practiced for hours to get the 16th notes, back and forth, to flow so well together. Great job guys.

    whats the difference between a xylophone and a marimba?

    • @polar534
      @polar534 7 лет назад +2

      redhed645 Xylophones are made of different wood (I want to say it's thicker and more woody but that just doesn't sound right or professional), giving a lot less deep pitches as the marimba. Also, a Xylophone doesn't contain as many octaves as the Marimba either.

      thank you for the explanation

      The way that it's notated is also different. Xylophone transposes everything up an octave so everything is higher than it is written. It also has more of a "bite" or aggressiveness to the sound than the marimba which is more mellow

      marimbas have metal keys where a xylophone is made of wood

    • @MileenietheMarshmie
      @MileenietheMarshmie 7 лет назад

      Actually, marimbas do not have metal keys. I think what you're thinking of is a vibraphone. But, marimbas like vibraphones have metal tube resonators under the keys to help the sound project
