I finished arranging and recording my Dev cover...I did a marimba interpretation of "Canada" and it sounds really cool...at least I think it does.

However, I need help posting it on here somehow. What's a good way to do it?

I really hope this makes it to the HevyDevy site!

how big's the MP3?

This is me playing my arrangement. It's a really simple piece for 4 mallet marimba (2 mallets in each hand). I decided to take out the middle section with the slowed down "bird" kid, I had a part written but it just didnt sound very good.

Also, recording it was tough, I was in a very small room (but on a very big marimba...6 octaves) and so some of the notes are too loud and some are too soft. I hope you'll all get the idea though, this isn't really about my performance of it as much as it is about seeing what it sounds like.

fuckin A!
you fuckin rock!

is the marimba difficult to learn?
how long have you been playing?
do you play in a group?

what song is next for 'marimba-ification'?

(i especially enjoy the riff @ 3m10s)

I'd add a little more reverb to the recording, but thats probally not even worth saying as, it is AWSOME!!!! haha dude that took some real vision to come up with that its awsome, congratulations.

That was terrific man, that sounds so great. Good work, chap!

Wow, that is REALLY cool!

Bravo! A very interesting interpretation on a sublime sounding instrument. Nicely done!

ever thought of doing awhole record of metal covers on the marimba
i bet u'd be the only one. also cool marimba tribute to dev like those string quartet tributes. very cool cool version u did on the song.

omg damn I wish i'd heard this before i burnt my mom a CD of devin's soft stuff. It's awesome!!!

Awesome!!!

Boy, that's crazy...
I'm really fond of all these awesome covers. If any of you's got some of his own (of this quality), please share!
