The last one is just sadistic and impractical. What’s the priority, the wave or the complicated bass part? It’s really ridiculous to ask for both, especially with a beginner/intermediate ensemble. Notice how even an advanced percussionist struggles to do both well? (and it looks dumb). You have to choose in a situation like this, is the visual of the wave mandatory? Then you better make the music simple, because I guarantee the director will be all over the basses if it looks bad.
Which percussion instrument should I cover in the next video?
