CrownBariDad 4,276 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flammaster 2,097 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Splooie99 75 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrownBariDad 4,276 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cappybara 11,175 Report post 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.
