I thought I'd share this because I've gotten a lot from it. It's very helpful getting your mind into the game as a warm up exercise and if you're new to playing tunes in all keys, it's a structured exercise that helps make the relationships and trains the ear. Give it a try. All keys of course.
Hi Guys this month I'll talk about dampening technique.
I will explain how to do scale dampening, mallet to mallet dampening and slide dampening explain some example taken from my tune called Aforisma #8 from my new book: "AFORISMI - 11 etudes for solo vibraphone", published by Musikkforlagene is available on:

Members of this wonderful community,
"Poinciana" - In the home music studio today playing the classic song from 1936. Two of my favorite versions are from great pianists Ahmad Jamal and Keith Jarrett.
Thanks Dana for putting this in the comments of part 1!
Now he is playing a xylophone. I'm sure it's a huge step to a vibraphone. The vibes are way hipper and way more complex than a xylophone! :-)
Who's playing vibes on this?
Hi All,
Fourth of July is coming up fast, and that means the July show is just before, on July 2. I'll play two different versions of "America," Mike Mainieri's from CD Crescent and Bob Masteller's recorded live at the Jazz Corner. I'm also paying my patriotic duty by playing the Modern Jazz Quartet and "The Watergate Blues," which they recorded on Echoes. I do hear the echo.
The first set is dedicated to the season. "Heat Wave," (Cal Tjader) "Summer Nights," (Bobby Hutcherson) and "Water Babies" (Joe Chambers).
