I've come across two different ways of playing, http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/Documents/BandOrchestra/Percussion_Tips_Gronemeier.pdf The first is the idea of stevens grip base and the second with the Burton grip base http://www.robpaterson.com/writings/essay-introduction_to_my_six-mallet_technique.html After I read both of these articles and tried them both, maybe im misreading something, but is there any way to get the middle mallet to move indepedent from the outside mallets. Like say you had a Triad, C, E, F. I know it's possible to play C , F by lifting the middle mallet up, however is it possible to just play an E only by using the middle mallet? Is it possible to play a sort of 1 hand roll between 3 mallets, C E F C E F C E F, or any combination? -------------------- Percussion Performance Major at University of Lethbridge Alberta, Teacher : Adam Mason Post Extras
