I'm in a weird phase with sticking. I'm really messing around with combinations. If I had time (and I just might) I want to transcribe a great Gil player. Those guys have amazing independence and I think we can learn a lot from them.
Watch Joe Pass. I say guitar players have basically the same problems as vibe players. We can play most of what guitar players play. Not exactly but they're a great source of learning for playing our instrument!

Lots of great things ahead!! First, if you missed Gloria’s vibe radio show last Sunday, there’s another broadcast as usual this Wednesday. Then have a look at our project of VDOP “Virtual Day Of Percussion” Feb. 15th, one whole day of vibes through the net; and be a part of it! Last this time… if you’re in Europe early next month, it’s now about time you register for our Winter European Vibes Workshop with Tony, David, Matthias, and even more teachers this year!!
Hey everyone,
the VDOP is another way to try and get the word out about the vibraphone. Official the day is called 'VIRTUAL DAY OF PERCUSSION: FEATURING THE VIBRAPHONE'.
The plan is to play and hang all day. I'm planning a google hangout throughout the day, live performances and videoed performances.
If you want to participate video yourself playing something well. Put up on youtube as UNLISTED (not private) and send me the link. I'll do all the rest.
I've asked some pros and long time members who are playing out and about to do something already, but all are welcome.
It kills me! The music is so great and simple and the audience goes nuts. I just love music like this that is acoustic and simple and makes people happy. That's life, huh? life can be that simple.
All the information for the day will be here. Links, info, timeline, etc. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO REFRESH THIS PAGE. WE WILL ALSO USE THE CHAT BOX ON THE RIGHT (have to be logged in) FOR INFORMATION
I can't lift my legs that high!
Also check it out at about 6:00
listen to this guy play. listen to the first couple bars. you can tell he's a great young player, right? his phrasing i think is right on. has a little terry gibbs maybe in? i dug his playing.
Hello everyone,
I wanted to reach out and wish a great 2014 to all the members and supporters of vibesworkshop. We started off the year with a tremendous vibes congress in NJ, and I'm looking forward to the things we do on this site in the coming year.
Great intro by David
