CrownBariDad Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I didn't see a thread on this, but DCI has posted a mini-cam view of the Cavies' show with a camera attached to a marimba and another one attached to a marimba player. View it here. Not for those who suffer from vertigo during Danse Macabre. Enjoy! 2 Quote
Hook'emCavies Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I am not sure if this has been talked about on dcp, but I love this feature! It's absolutely brilliant!!!! Quote
flammaster Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I just got finished watching that show (again) and I saw this. Love the show. Cavies have always had solid pit. (and battery) Quote
Splooie99 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 If I was a percussionist and I saw that, I would want to try marimba. LOL That was awesome. Talk about a ton of notes! Quote
CrownBariDad Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 I played Comedians Gallop once in college on xylophone and barely got thru it (I'm really a trombonist). Those guys have my total respect and awe. Quote
drumcorpsfever Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 It's ranks as a definite "moment" for the 2014 season. 2 Quote
Cappybara Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) I can't imagine the amount of practice it takes to learn a NORMAL marimba part (and the use of 4 sticks baffles me. That type of coordination is crazy to me) part let alone add the drill for the marimbas as well as switching spots with other marimba players. Edited July 17, 2014 by Cappybara Quote
