Guys, here's a tutorial on the "four to the bar" style on Stars Fell On Alabama. Had some fun with adding the hats. I use to do this with piano but not vibes, so it needs tweaking. Would have picked a smaller/thinner and quieter set of hats but beggars can't be choosey. Ha!Ha! Hope you find this helpful. My thoughts about note selection and considerations for the comping are in the video description. Let me know if you have any questions. Ed.

I had a talk with Stefon Harris a while ago. I don't think I've talked about it here yet.

The argument is this: The piano is part of the percussion family but percussionists don't learn piano. The piano is in a performing way, NOT part of the percussion family at all. It requires a lot of dedicated and unrelated skill and has moved out of the percussion family. Not how it's made of course, or the mechanisms that make the sound but in a performance way.

Hi everyone,

Tony and I discussed our new TOTMs. We thought it would be a good idea to include a ballad in this one, so we'll study You Don't Know What Love Is along with Green Dolphin Street.

I'm kicking off the new TOTMs with a dampening etude on Green Dolphin Street!
