Review - Percussive Notes

toKata (marimba) -  Norsk Musikforlag

"Bart Vanderbeke has written a new marimba work that can be performed as a four-mallet work, a two-mallet solo, or a duet of two-mallet performers. All three versions of the piece are fun and challenging in their own ways and would be appropriate as an encore for professional players or as a short recital piece for intermediate students.

4 MOVEMENTS (4 multi percussion & piano) - Norsk Musikforlag 

“This collection is poignant, effective, and engaging from start to finish, whether or not one cares about the novelty of four-mallet multiple-percussion techniques. I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a multiple-percussion “sonata” with piano.”

TRANS4MATIONS (multi-percussion) - Norsk Musikforlag 

“This book transforms the drum set into a four-mallet instrument. It encourages drum set performers to approach the instrument in a different manner. Marimbists and other four-mallet players will find this an enjoyable way to apply their fundamental techniques.”
