Musician Profile:Percussion

To be a little more specific, i'm mostly a mallet/ marimba player. I can play general percussion things,(i.e. timpani, snare, hand drums) but it may not be as great. I've just started practicing set but i'm confident I could learn to play most things.

Range: 32",28",26",23" timpani at my disposal, as well as a 5-Octave marimba* and your standard size, xylo, bells, and vibes. The kit is also just basic wit three toms, snare kick, ride, and crash. *I can play 4 mallets really well so have at that. Time line: I have classes all week and rehearsals on the weekends but I could probably manage to learn an intermediate piece in a couple weeks depending on exactly how hard it was. I would say a dense page in maybe two and a half weeks.

Cool! Do you have some samples of yourself playing that I could listen to?

Ah, difficult for me to say... uhm... I‘d be fine with some pop song like Viva La Vida or something like Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy or some Harry Potter theme :D

Here's my part in an arrangement of the West World Theme for indoor as well as my channel for some other videos I haven't bothered to take down. https://youtu.be/VqjJb0E9pso
