In yesterday's presentation for the Vibes Congress, David proclaimed that he was NOT Satchitananda Guru. OK. I get it, but... I've spent time in both worlds and, given the things he was talking about, this made me have a moment of "…
Hey everyone,
Here's another lesson on dampening. This is a subtle topic that relates to how you actually physically press the mallet into the bar when you dampen. You can use varying dampening speed to create clean-sounding dampening,…

Attached is me (Vibes) and my Dad (MIDI Accordion) playing a Latin tune called Cumana written by Barclay Allen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumana_(song)
In the late 80s, I bought a kit to retrofit MIDI into my Dad's electronic accordion…
Hey everyone,
Just a little technical exercise I've been working on that has some great applications for using all four mallets in your lines, and for producing a constant arpeggiating effect.
Thinking about dampening, deadstroking, stride piano, sliding, big band shout choruses, walking bass lines, block chords, and much more! Let me know what you think!
I'm always amazed at those old xylo players. Honestly I can't believe that that instrument was that popular. It's bizarre to me.
But Teddy is great, and I'm always watching his videos.
It's also interesting to me to listen to music…
This is likely to be old news for most on the site but hopefully helpful for those who haven't worked through these yet. I don't think I mentioned very clearly that you can replace the fifth of each voicing with the 6th for more color or…

Hey One and All,
Happy New Year!
JazzOn2 is up and running once again, and that makes the beginning of a happy new year. Two months ago we experienced an equipment failure. It took all this time to get the replacement and install it,…
This is a one-man-band hybrid of Ewe (Ghanaian) percussion and repertoire using 4 sticks, voice, and ankle bells. The concept of 24/8 expands the grid of the bell cycle to achieve high levels of independence and composition.

Hello all,
The vibraphone is one of the only instruments we play where you have to work extra hard to control the ending of a note. It requires two separate strokes to play and end any given note with dampening, whereas on, say, the…
Took a little longer getting this all together than anticipated due to holidays and work, but felt I was at a point I could post this stuff and keep on going.

Hello everyone!
I wanted to make a more technique-oriented lesson to give a look inside how I think everyone should practice four mallets. We’ll look at permutations, interval work, and one-handed rudiments in this lesson. By doing these…
