This weekend at the first-ever online vibes bootcamp, David Friedman spoke about the importance of following the movement of the bassline and the harmonies when choosing chords for My Funny Valentine (and the same goes for many other tunes…
Pretty self-explanatory. Tony thought there weren't enough gongs on my last post.
Well... gong solo this time.
Need I say more?
My apologies to Juan Tizol. It was a great tune before this happened.
This weekend is our VW Bootcamp.
David is working in his class on the My Funny Valentine. He put up a version and so did Hauke so I wanted to do one as well.
I have not played the tune in a long time but I thought I could bang it out. I…
Recently purchased the Late Night mallets which arrived today. The heads are larger than I expected, which makes them a tad unwieldy, but used them for a while and I think I'll get used to them. Its sure nice to play my vibes with the…

I'm always looking to see and hear how people play in different situations and whether it holds my attnetion.
David Patrios is a great mallet player. Just look how he plays in this duo!
He's on a .... is it a Balifon? Or do I just call…
"Send In The Clowns" composed by Stephen Sondheim in 1973 for the play A Little Night Music. A beautiful song with deep lyrics sung by many vocalists including Judy Collins, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand and Betty Buckley. All great…
This one's cool. You have to be careful with the pedal so notes don't ring over to the next chord. The rest of the etudes I've recorded (eventually all of them) are on my YouTube channel and on this site!
This one took me three takes because at the end on the Bb chord, I kept hitting a C in my top mallet instead of a high D. That's one of the harder chords for me to reach in this book. I also strayed a little from the Gregorian chant-like…
Tony has been asking me to do something with vibes and gongs. So, I have been working on it, but to be perfectly honest, most of it just isn't ready for prime time yet. Playing solo, as many of us are finding out in quarantine, is very…
explanation please of Double Stopping . Is it a technique to ease 4 hammer playing > arms crossing?
Some other aid to technique ? Or does it just mean hitting the same note one with hammer after the other?
I saw a video lesson on here…
I'm still making these here and there.
standard option for most traditional vibraphone pulley belt drives available

I just wanted to make you look. Soft mallets don't suck. Well not all the time.
I saw a great student of mine play recently. He's a great up and coming vibe player I think. I was listening to him comp and could hear nothing. I know he…
Transcribe my solo.
1st chorus - quarter note solo
2nd chorus - simple solo
Play my solo, then do yours.
Your first chorus needs to be quarter notes
Second chorus, simple and swinging.
I've attached a file with only brushes. You can use…
This is my last of the three Bud Powell solo arrangements I worked on. I really leaned into the big band vibe for this one -- there's a shout-like intro over a pedal and big hits during the melody (like that one classic jazz rhythmic…
Here's a video I made with my buddy down in Chiapas, Mexico. When you enter his town there is a huge (I mean huge) sculpture of a marimba. The cool thing is I think it's made out of metal. Touche! We win!
On Marimba is Alexander Cruz a…

I think this is probably his most famous tune, and it's great so that makes sense. This might be one of my more elaborate arrangements of a head I've done. I really tried to make the head itself have an interesting arc where every A…
