About the Mallet Kat metronome.

I love this. This reminds me of David's duo with the sax player. To me it shows that if you can play lines you can play in any situation and make music.

This cat is a true vibe geek. I don't even hang, don't even come close. He's in league with Piper!

Here is how to shift octaves on the Mallet Kat

Since I cannot reach the marimba yet, I had this podium custom built for me.

Here is the rarely told story of my first band. It began as a solo venture, playing unaccompanied pieces on marimba and vibes. Soon I decided to add a pianist, a sort of preview of my duets with Chick Corea, which would come along later on down the road. Next came the need for a bass player, followed by the addition of trombone, clarinet, trumpet, and drums. Not exactly the most logical instrumentation, you’re probably thinking. But, when you only have one brother and one sister, plus two parents, you make do with what you have.

My favorite band EVER!!!! I couldn't find a clip where they actually played it but you can see it in this clip.

Here James puts all the drums together.

This is the book that Stefan is working out of that many of us had never heard of! Contemporary Vibraphone Technique by Dave Samuels

It isn't available from amazon, but Steve Weiss' website says they have it in stock:
