Some people can never be satisfied and you are discouraging people. People make little or no money from music these days, not here or elsewhere so there is a limit to what young people should spend their time and effort on because when they get older they need financial reserves which music does not offer any more. I was extremely impressed by the skill and the piece - my compliments Miroslav. We used to be in the arts; whatever you do there's always someone coming up with clever advice, knowing what to do.

@@ThatCheapDrummer Well, it's nice that the ladies and gentlemen can share in civilized discourse. Kudos to ThatCheapDrummer for keeping cool, especially since Ally Haup-Gurski's comment is fodder for the Manipulative Turd Regime that attempts to conceal brainwashing and mind-control as SUGGESTION (shame on you Turds). Regarding ThatCheapDrummer's sound quality comment: it is very relevant because within the first minute of this excellent performer's video, I found myself DISCOURAGED because I had to turn the volume down and back up, and down again, and back up. The HARSH attack of the mallets-on-bars hurt my ears...then, it didn't...then it did. THAT is the PERFORMER'S choices/preferences regarding INTERPRETATION of the COMPOSER'S written information, and I am not and will not pretend that me judging the performer's choices is just, warranted, valuable, or anything other than something personal to me. But... it's my right to make such observations, and it's anyone's right to make any SUGGESTIONS regarding the presentation. So, CONTRARY to Ally's manipulative comment, it is the PERFORMANCE/RECORDING that DISCOURAGED this listener. ThatCheapDrummer's comment actually ENCOURAGED me. Christ...hey... (oh, yeah...did I mention that I think the marimbist is a really skilled one?).

You're a true inspiration to all be that percussively or not! 😃💯💯

Whoever wrote this has a lot of variety in their composure! There's a lot of galactic vibes in this, and then suddenly STEREOTYPICAL SPANISH BULL FIGHTING! Proceeded by more galactic groove. And the mallets and marimba sound quality add to this effect of variety. I love this in so many ways! Well played.

What type of brain he has? Seriously, this is way too much. Clean sounds all the time. The repertoire of techniques is absurd, and more absurd is the flawless execution.

I actually translated the chorus to piano and it’s sick and I can play it fast

Triple laterals are great

Ricordiamoci che i tasti della marimba sono di legno, e quanto più suono si riesce a cacciare (non forza) meglio è. A volte si sente solo legno perché troppo forte. Detto questo, complimenti
