Well so its just triple laterals which means 3 notes for every stroke, so it's not actually too difficult once you have the technique down, there are a lot of harder parts in this show

@@henwill8 thank god there are reasonable people in the world

they are prototype marimba mallets we developed this year. IP4000 series with a different cord wrap instead of yarn. They were a great option for us to provide more articulation during bigger moments. They were able to cut when the entire ensemble was playing, including electronic layers. I think they will be released at PASIC this year? Keep an eye out.

@@paulrennick995 ah thats really cool, ill definitely keep on the lookout

Where are the time stamps? also hope practicing is going well it’s been 4 years hope to see you soon making one of these marimba cams your self at scv

These are triple lateral sixteenth triplets im pretty sure, nowhere near 64ths lol. Also they weren't splits, each wood board player played pretty much the same part. Still impressive, but Cavaliers did have splits in their FE feature, which is a lot harder to pull of as a full ensemble rather than individual players. Although SCV does have a lot of difficult music, visually they don't perform as well as the cavies do, so imma have to say cavies are still the best front in world class dci. But i can definitely say SCV is in my top 3!

its triple lateral octaves lmao

cavs is ahead of its time with their pit lmao scv is known for their battery tho

We use every one of the 4000 series as well as the new prototype cord wrapped mallets, coming out this Spring.

The bar width changes locking your mallets would cause inaccuracies. Its all muscle memory and practice

officialnovadrome you don’t think 2018 was harder? Especially with the octave runs EVERYWHERE and hand speed change triplet to 16th note 4 mallet octave runs at almost 200 BPM? Idk it looked harder to me. I haven’t seen 2017 in a while

Randy Oshiro There are a lot of octave passages in this show too. Also a lot of the other techniques used in 17 and especially 19 are harder than octaves.

@@Vanito808 they never said harder than '18, he just compared it to '17

@@rgentry so theyre using vibe mallets on the marimba? lmao
