I came up with this definition of what a professional vibe player is. I was hanging with Harvey Price.

What do you guys think?

Plays in time
Can comp competently and solo as well
Knows about 50 tunes (which means they know tunes) chords and melody and chord melody
Plays a solo that can hold interest

I was trying to keep it simple and general. Any thoughts?

Another great month! The VDOP (Vertual Day Of Percussion) took place on Feb 15th with live performances and recorded videos online. If like me you were not there, you can check out all the recorded tunes here: www.vibesworkshop.com/node/11134/

It's funny from where I'm at, isn't it!
