Vibraphone

I hosted the vibe coffeehouse hang today and made some games.

Here is a "guess that vibraphonist and tune" game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mJdIlmds4w&feature=youtu.be

And here is a jazz standards puzzle: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M4fvMH_6Np30Y30DHw75YeAq2vidBxvD/view?…

If you weren't at the hang, feel free to play and write your guesses here in the comments! :)

Hi everybody!

I am sure this topic comes up pretty often, but I am looking to expand my mallet collection and wondering what vibraphone mallets you are all liking lately?

I use Tony's mallets for just about everything and I love them but I'd like to start investing in some more options for different purposes.

Does anyone have any suggestions/favorite pairs that might suit the following?
1. A general purpose set of mallets that are more lightweight
2. A set of soft mallets for quieter settings

Thank you!!

Hi Everyone,

This is the first part in my phrasing series, where I'll hit my main thoughts on dampening, pedaling, sticking, and articulation. This video is on sticking.

We were talking about this solo in the Vibe Coffee house (meets on Sundays).

Mike Mainieri transcribed this when he was a kid.
