Comping for myself with the left hand is tough. I was trying to set a 120 bpm pace and couldn't get past 105 without running past brain speed and accumulating glitches.
John Keene I always say is our local historian.
He mentioned a vibe player I never heard about before.
So if John Mentions him, I always check him out.
He is great!
Hi all,
I want to get some more information about this vibraphone. A local drummer and vibes player has passed away here and his son wants to sell this vibraphone.
Does anybody know the rough age of it and have any idea about its value?
Im in Australia so prices will be be a bit different but it would give him a starting point.
Cheers Kym
This is a mallet dampening etude I wrote for the 2nd online vibes boot camp. This is the first time I ever used mallet dampening, so I tried to use it in as many ways as I could. Hope you all enjoy!

Hi Vibes Workshop! It's been a while since I've posted so I thought I would share this John Coltrane solo I have been working on with you all. I attached a pdf if anyone is interested in checking it out - I think there are so many brilliant things about this solo, not to mention it is just a fun way to practice technique and feel with a record!
"Never Never Land" from Peter Pan - Fun exploring on this great song with music by Jule Styne and lyrics from Betty Comden and Adolph Green. Such a hip song with wonderful chord changes and a memorable melody and lyrics.
"How Deep Is The Ocean" - One of my favorite standards by the great composer Irving Berlin.
This is another entry in my ongoing effort to write, arrange, and play solo vibraphone. The Pop Up Classes focused on single tunes have been a great opportunity to develop my approach. I recorded this a week ago after the first class on "Bluesette". I think I can play it a little better now, but I haven't had a chance to record again.
