Guys, here’s another one. We’re playing my composition Hope. The intro featured a drone which was Lieb’s idea. I like the mood that it set up for the tune. The lead sheet can be downloaded from my website here: http://www.edsaindon.com/originalcompositions.htm

Part Two can be checked out on my YouTube page here: http://www.youtube.com/edsaindon

I found this also. I think this is piece I heard a while back. I think it sounds great!

This is so deep. The LINES!

In the book 'This is Your Brain on Music', I'm reading about what it means to be an expert. Many scientists use the 10,000 hour theory. That is generally speaking to become an expert at anything you have to spend 10,000 hours working on it. That translates to 3 hours a day for about 10 years.

I thought this was interesting because at least this gives us an idea about practicing in a general sense. He brings up things like Mozart writing a symphony at age eight and argues that you don't have to be an expert to write a symphony.

Vibraman found this vid and did a web link to it. I wanted to get the vid right here and put it in our vibe players section.

Check out Lars Erstrand. He sounds so good, I think.

Great find Vibraman!

Oh man… It finally happened: no more need to practice, any technique, in any key. No more pain in wristles, or bleeding fingers. No more white nights in your basement...

You can all sleep in peace: here is the real future of all percussionists… :o)

HELLO EVERYBODY.I RECENTLY PLAYED IN A JAZZ FESTIVAL IN GREECE AND I THOUGHT IT'S GOOD TO POST 3 PIECES.I KNOW THERE ARE MISTAKES AND WE LOST THE TIMING BETWEEN THE SAX PLAYER AND ME AND THE DRUMMER.ANYWAY IT IS NOT PERFECT...THE CONCERT WAS DUET VIBES-SAX AND THE DRUMS JAMS WITH US.I AM WAITING YOUR COMMENTS.

I spent the night playing through the first chorus of his solo. This is a very serious etude that would challenge most of us on the site, I think!

Hello Everyone,

The tune for this week will be Woody n You. Maybe it would be nice if we would try to do a version in a latin feel.

For those of you who are able to, try to make a duet yourself. So record one part and then add a second part all on your own.

I can also make a play along version, but let's first all study the tune a little and if someone needs help or wants a play along, I can make one during the week, ok?

Hope you guys will join in!

P.S. At the moment I'm doing these
