Carl,

What I was wondering was more along the lines of "are there any xylophone-specific issues that make a four-mallet technique less practical on xylo. than on other mallet instruments, like vibraphone or marimba"?

Cheers,

Hey all,
Are most orchestral percussionists comfortable using four mallets (2- mallet grip in each hand) on xylophone? Or is this more of a vibraphone/marimba technique?

Most of the pros I work with and see in symphonic orchestras are "percussionists," They play all of the percussion instruments, and can mix and match as needed.
