Me explaining to my parents why I’m spending money on mallets when I just bought custom ones: “It has his name! HIS NAME!”

MY NAMEEEEEE

Quite soft, but definitely very characteristic of the style of your music, kinda feels just right for the type of stuff like “a tender feeling” from SAO

"Look, it has my name on it" - my favorite Adam quote of 2022

You know everyone is excited for your mallets when no one has asked about that mini preview of a new piece yet lol. Congrats Adam!!!

Congratulations, my friend! Your own signature line of Encore mallets are hard earned and well deserved! You've worked so hard and it has paid off for you in spades! I couldn't be prouder of you!

Finally! I’m so happy for you and excited that you get to take this awesome (and quite frankly dream-like) step in your career. I’m spending my summer building my own 5-octave marimba, and it looks like I may have to pick up a set of these to help break it in once I finish 😂

Congratulations @Adam Tan 🎉 indeed Encore mallets makes good mallets! You have made your mallets collection warm/ articulate sound with a nice bass soft mallet, curious what the final product sounds like. 🎉

This is so cool and awesome! I’ve been a fan of yours since 2017, (my freshmen year in highschool) and now I’m majoring in percussion performance at the University of Michigan’s School of Music! I hope that we can meet or even play together one day! I’ll definitely be investing in your mallets.

Nice! Any stores in Europe selling your mallets? Can't find any of the stors on Encores site selling them.

Would love to get them!! would you still use the grad set for a 4.3/4.6 marimba or only for 5 octaves? Im stuck between 2 pairs of AT3s and the grad set. Would be a great help if someone could give me some advice!

Hey I want to learn "a cricket sang and set the sun" I'm in 8th grade so I think that that will be fun! Might need to get these mallets for that piece!

how did you make your own mallets?

I can’t decide if I want to get these or the Calum Huggan mallets 😭

The lowest c on thet marimba sounds weird. Probably just the mic that picks up the overtones way too much, but it sounds off

@AdamTanPercussion

2 жыл бұрын

Haha yes it always picks up the overtones in my studio 😬

Before even watching the video I know they will be lightweight mallets so I doubt I will buy them but congrats buddy!! To further explain... I like my mallets as heavy as possible. I work with my hands all day as a plumber so my grip is overly strong and I find more weight to be easier to control and gives me a far wider range of dynamics as well as allowing me to use free-fall strokes (I honestly don't know if that's a real thing or something I've discovered on my own) when I play fast licks so that I can alternate the muscle groups I use even during the same run to reduce fatigue.

Check out my edited comment. ☝️ BTW, I challenge you to spend a week solid if you haven't before using the heaviest mallets you own and forcing yourself to make great music with them. It's the only way for me, lightweights may as well be toothpicks in my hands.

When I first got my own marimba last fall I bought those $17 mallets you featured here. They are a great value but dang they are feathers. And I played with them for several months untill my arms developed severe pain every time I played. I then realized it could be the weight of the mallets. I bought some heavier mallets and everything was fixed instantly, the warmth of my marimba improved ten times over, and the pain was gone. I believe I was using muscles on every stroke to force the mallet down and up with no use of momentum at all and that was destroying my arms with the lighter mallets.

He just put a sponsor in a video that is about selling mallets. Not that it is bad, just odd
