This shows the leg frame that I've put on my personal instrument. You'll notice that there are no casters and a lighter-weight leg frame than the piper vibe. I changed my Piper vibe over to this so that I didn't have that extra weight,…

Finals are this week. The final is to play a clear simple solo over St. Thomas in several keys and play it solo. Harder than it looks. Then I hung out with James and talked about quarter notes. Then I did a lesson on quarter notes, based…

I think I've told a couple of people that Pat Metheny is one of my favorite musicians/composers of all time. (I know its crazy). I just think his tunes lay really well with a percussion ensemble. I don't really want to sound like him,…
