Xylophone, timpani and glockenspiel faggots cannot disprove this.

This song just wouldn't sound right without the glockenspiel
Tyler Garcia

Watch this and tell me that the marimba isnt the greatest instrument in the world
Noah Roberts
The marimba isn't the greatest instrument in the world.
Joshua Perez
timpani is the shit you faggot, get fucked. and marimba is the single best instrument for solo work
Charles Sanders
ewwwwww drumline music
Jordan Turner
That sound can be played on the piano and sound better. And, yes, I know that the piano is technically pitched percussion, because mallets hit strings, but because of the combination of both mallets and strings, it is within a different category, keyboards.
Noah Clark
i don't like marimba in marching and drum corps stuff, but other than that both those things are p solid
Christopher Ward
are you fucking retarded OP?
Matthew Jones
better? they're completely different sounds. you say that like a marimba is just a shitty attempt at a piano, which i'm sure you'd probably argue it is, but to me they're apples and oranges.
Benjamin Garcia
They are different sounds, but one of them is better. You have it mixed up. One of them can be better because they are different. If they were the same, then neither could be better.
Samuel Adams
You can say that about mallets but don't talk shit about timpani (the best percussion instrument)
Gavin Myers
If you don't like the way a vibraphone sounds you have no soul
Isaac Russell
"Better" in what way?
Jack Russell
first you must prove why they are "a disgrace"
i'm waiting
Henry Howard
The sound of the piano is better.
Carter Foster
Okay, in what way is it better?
Caleb Gomez
Both of you guys are wrong. Electric pianos are the superior version of both. All the control of a piano with the clean tone of a marimba + it can easily be altered with electronics.
Jace Martinez
They disgrace the name of percussion by being totally outclassed by the piano.
Nathan Stewart
i find the marimba more earthy and piano more clinical. anyway, "better" is subjective. i love them both, but i romanticize the marimba more.
Camden Miller
The sound is better because it has greater range and is nicer to ears.
Ryder Morales
"nicer to ears" is completely subjective, so I'll ignore that.
What do you mean by "greater range"?
Asher Reyes
What about metal banging sampled and pitched? youtu.be
Elijah Fisher
BH is just a shitposter man. Ignore him
Gavin Nguyen
Pianos have a greater range than any pitched-percussion instrument.
Connor Scott
Vibraphones are always awesome in jazzy/post-rock/minimalist bands like the Eric Dolphy stuff, the Peter Kerlin Octet, Tortoise, Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians, Tigue, the list goes on...
Adrian Bailey
He's not a very creative shitposter.
Anthony Johnson
How does it feel to be wrong?
Anthony Richardson
>glockenspiel
That be a marimba
Luis Robinson
Lies. All lies.
Aaron Harris
Is a piano not technically a pitched percussion instrument? It has little mallets inside that hit the strings to make them reverberate.
I'm not the person you were arguing with, just making an observation.
Kevin Howard
Already talked about that.
Dominic Martin

Literally the 3rd best solo instrument. No contest
Carter Gonzalez
Hudson Barnes
Ah, sorry about that. Didn't see that part.
Joseph Taylor
This, everything has its place except for kazoos and recorders.
Tyler Butler
>except kazoos
Hunter Cruz
that thing sounds fantastic. do they just play samples or what is the deal with those?
John Hill
You ignorant piece of shit
youtube.com
Thomas Martinez
I want to start playing xylophone, where should i get one
Samuel Evans
What. You're still banging out rhythms on the keys it's a percussion instrument retard.
Gabriel Gomez
BH is a fucking retard who doesn't even play an instrument so he can finger fuck himself in his corner somewhere.
Mallet percussion is great and there is almost a centuries worth of fantastic repertoire for vibes, marimba, xylo, by people like Musser, Reich, Xebakis, Ivan Trevino, Alejandro Viñao, rags done by Nexus with Bob Becker on Xylo etc etc.
there's a whole world out there a lot of you faggots aren't aware of the complexities and the nuances in these instruments so to be like "yeah x is totally better than y even tho I know jack shit about anything" is dumb and you need to fuck off and do some heavy listening.
Joshua Diaz
A hammer strikes tines that are amplified via pickups like an electric guitar. You can hear the sound of the tines without an amp but it's really quiet.
Kayden Johnson
Recorder has its place, though it is an objectively inferior woodwind.
