well-known melodies in the space of three
minutes and ten seconds! Including symphonic

Mallet
Maniacs
(Mallet
Percussion
Feature)—Mark Williams. You've got to check
this one out! If you have mallet percussionists
in your band, whether they play marimba,
xylophone, bells or vibraphone, you'll want this
piece in your library! Mark Williams has written
an incredibly appealing tune with a nostalgic
comic flair, featuring light syncopation over a
fun bass line, but that's just the beginning. The
real magic in this one is found in the awesome
mallet parts, that can be played by one or many
percussionists! The parts lay easily as well, and
only require two mallets. The glissandos are on the
"natural" notes, so it sounds much more difficult
than it is. Very highly recommended!
