The ‘Super Mario Bros.’ Theme Song on Marimba by percussionist Aaron DeWayne.
When he switched to the dungeon theme I lost my mind
This makes me happy :)
I cannot get over the skill required here. He has to be able to tell EXACTLY how far apart those sticks are just by holding them between his fingers. He has to generate enough force to make a sound–while HOLDING THEM BETWEEN HIS FINGERS. He is playing FOUR. FOUR sticks. That’s FOUR different sticks, hitting at DIFFERENT times, at space intervals he’s determining by the feel IN HIS FINGERS because he can’t look at all of them at once. And half the time he’s not looking at ANY because he’s smiling at the camera. He twirls and jumps right back in without missing a beat. He’s relaxed. He’s charming.
HE. IS. A. MUSIC. GOD.
