Goated

Dude! 🔥!

Impressive!

My friend and I played this at our high schools percussion concert. It was a super fun piece and people loved it. Would recommend

My 8th grade class did this. so much fun.

More like a comedy routine

What mallets were used?

I am currently a high school percussionist in Texas. I really wanted to perform this solo, and I finally got the chance to play it at solo and ensemble. At first when I was playing this solo, it was just for solo and ensemble purposes. However, the piece was so beautiful that it became a part of who I was when I was performing. Not only did I get a one at state, but I also received the prestigious outstanding performer award. Good luck to everybody that's performing this solo in the future, and my one advice would be to actually embrace what you are playing and play it with all your heart.

Forever and always a standing. Ovation for certain. My inspiration back then and still today no doubt.

Nice ✊🏼

anyone in 2024?

Unbelievable

Awesome performance. Kinda wish everything was mike up individually so it could be mixed better for stereo. Or maybe some eq to balance it a little better. Regardless, this is great.

what did you use as the mutes? is it something simple that I could just DIY or is it a specific product?

Charlie (Owen) who arranged this was the percussion professor at the University of Michigan for many decades. Terrific percussion teacher. Very nice man. But this is quite corny. I remember that he eventually preferred this to be performed on marimba, as he felt the newer modern xylophone tone color was a bit too "glassy" and sharp as compared to the older warmer tone quality of xylophones when he had originally arranged this long, long ago...

Absolutely beautiful

we got both floor play and LD smooth for my percussion ensemble at school and everyone always goes crazy for them

Great music but how about some colorful clothes, more smiles and a little bit more movement on the hips! Are they instructed by adults to be "proper" or something?

My middle school is playing this and i am marimba 1

Such a cool piece! Thanks!!!

Excellent Piece! I'm considering ordering this one for my students as a piece to shoot for in the near future!

Beautiful

Beyond beautiful who do I reach out to to get music 🎶 for my self as a business 👩‍💼

very nice

YEAHHH

soo good!

This is such a mesmerizing piece

I'm definitely not jealous of how the higher percussion group got to play this piece, but not our group. Definitely not.

If I heard someone open a solo like that live my pants would be pissed before the show even started

lolo im laging

you can tell Roger loves prog rock with the 7s influence one can hum out some Rush/ DT in there

wow!

0:35 1:05

I couldn't hear the slapstick

All these lines sound the same today...no originality.

Love it ❤❤

Yall I have a concert on Monday and I do NOT want to play this

Hi! I’m performing this piece for my senior recital, and I’m curious which death whistle to get?? There’s so many options and I want to make sure I get a decent one. What mallets are you using as well?

At 1:09, I love the way they decrescendo and crescendo their way back up at 1:19. Beautiful performance throughout!

Perfected song with such precision

My high school is playing this piece on Tuesday and it is a beautiful piece!! This is my favorite piece that I have ever had the joy of playing in

My school orffestra is gonna play this and it’s almost identical to this

Love that amen break

Great Video; Thank You! Always love it when advanced performers record some of the easier repertoire to model for our younger musicians. Oh yeah, we appreciate the low music stands.
