My friends told me to buy red but I think white is better

This has always been one of my favs, the guy on the left is the best.
That first tune reminded me of the [theme song to Monkey Island.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra44hAf1nP8)
Jesus Marimba!
They are pretty good!
[https://youtu.be/h6umJsmhktI](https://youtu.be/h6umJsmhktI) Just went down the rabbit hole watching this instrument played I have a marimba but these things are way cooler
Man, crazy how such a simply designed instrument could make such nice noises!
Im one of those people who would constantly hear the guy beside me and end up playing his part instead of my own.
damnit.
marimba ws my favorite thing to play in band class
Really awesome. What’s really cool is you don’t get to hear instruments like marimbas, xylophones, or vibraphones played in multiples at once. They sound when they can harmonize is so unique and beautiful.
Highly recommend you listen to all of these with the best sound system you have. Phones and and most headphones cannot recreate those low ends and it is such a crucial part of the mix.
Good for a car ride! These guys are super talented and just a joy to watch!
that’s not a marimba, that’s a balafon
PLAY Darude – Sandstorm!
Just found my new ringtone.
I like it a lot!! As a percussionist who spent a lot of time behind one of these- there are a few things I wish I could show them. There are much better ways the draw a pretty sound of these instruments beyond swinging a mallet down hard. Great melodies and I love the energy!!
What are the song names? I know they are current but I can’t recall the names.
I have a sudden urge to replay the Curse of Monkey Island
Its hard not to smile watching this
It feels like the shortest guy here is 6’4″
That was flat out way cool. I was mesmerized for the entire 4:15 run.
Does anyone know if this was this an original composition by these men, or an adaptation of a cultural tune, or something else entirely? The YouTube comments didn’t shed any light on it.
Along the same vein, ever hear a steel drum band? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI4PbSh6g_Y
fire.
This sounds like the music boxes from Minecraft.
They are exactly what everyone thought they were on xylophone day in elementary school. These guys are awesome.
I would like to have as much fun with playing an instrument as they have
Wow that was really cool
instant happy mood, everytime
HELL YESSS!!! It’s da weekend! 😀 enjoy it!
These guys are a YouTube Dav away from a GOT Talent show.
My town used to have an amazing marimba band but it turned out to be a weird sex cult.
Anyway, here’s wonderwall.
Its amazing what?
Anyone else think those were giant nutsacks while scrolling past the video?
I felt like at any moment the coffin dance guys were gonna pop out
Sounds like a Flo Rida beat….or one he would use.
