[edit] Advanced mallet techniques

This is just a list page with a made-up name. "Advanced mallet techniques" is not a formal/common name. I don't think this list adds anything over Category:Percussion performance techniques, and it is most certainly not complete. – flamurai (t) 07:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

After prod was removed, I am putting this up for VFD. I just don't see any use for this article. "Advanced" is inherently POV. There is no clear way to determine what should and shouldn't be in this article. – flamurai (t) 08:44, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Category:Percussion performance techniques already does the job, and the information is alerady in Burton grip and Stevens technique Kcordina 11:44, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • delete as per Kcordina. Gtabary 12:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • redirect to Extended technique --Ruby 20:03, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: It's hard to call four mallet playing "unconvential", since it's the basis of the (Western) marimba as a solo instrument. Not saying it would be a bad redirect, just that what's there now is something that is done by every classically trained percussionist on the face of the earth (though some of the things in extended technique, like multiple stops, are common, as well). – flamurai (t) 07:12, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The listing as such has no value, and the things being listed are already described more extensively at Stevens technique and Burton grip. - Andre Engels 10:44, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
