I'm playing marimba in a fairly loud latin jazz/dance group. We did a one hour show yesterday and my middle fingers got raw. I cut through the mix just fine (I used two mics and hard mallets). I'm not sure if I'm just playing too hard or if my grip is too unstable in the outter mallets. Also I'm wondering if the Stevens grip that I'm studying is a good grip for loud ensemble playing or if it's better suited for solo marimba. All of the mallet players I've seen playing in loud ensembles seem to use Burton grip. Which grip is best for loud ensemble work? I'd appreciate any thoughts on this topic. Thanks!
