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…

Before Tony and Leigh developed the awesome Late Night Mallet, there was the Deschler 114. There was a lesson in the studio downstairs, so I was playing with soft mallets up in the living room. Nothing fancy here, just a Zoom recorder…
