Mike,
All of her albums sound pretty good, but her concert at PASIC was definitely lacking in the sound department, and I don't think it was due to her mics. I think her mallets are WAY too hard. You're right she uses rattan because of her grip, but I definitely don't believe she has the best sound. Check out the post below where someone says they visited her house and most of her keys were broken. Too hard of mallets. Hard hitting style. Nonetheless, she has probably done more for the marimba than any other human being, and definitely took playing to a new level.
