I Can't Stop Thinking About that Youtube Video

I've watched the video I linked to above here several times now. There is a whole study out of how this guy plays. And I think if any 2 mallet player incorporated that into his playing he opens up a whole new world of things.

Since the instrument is pentatonic I realize there's a sort of drum factor happening there, but still that guy makes so much music out of that instrument, I'm floored.

Recording vibes, low thumping noise?

This is a sample of something I recorded today. It's a short sample of me playing along for a demo, but I noticed something that John Piper mentioned after one of my earier recordings. There is a low thumping noise coming from the pedal.In the second sample I did some EQ, and it kind of worked...

I'm using a Zoom H4 that goes into an EMU soundcard that goes to my laptop.(you might also hear some laptop noise...)
