"Four to the Bar" Tutorial on Stars Fell On Alabama

Guys, here's a tutorial on the "four to the bar" style on Stars Fell On Alabama. Had some fun with adding the hats. I use to do this with piano but not vibes, so it needs tweaking. Would have picked a smaller/thinner and quieter set of hats but beggars can't be choosey. Ha!Ha! Hope you find this helpful. My thoughts about note selection and considerations for the comping are in the video description. Let me know if you have any questions. Ed.

The genius of Milt - transcription

I was listening to some older Milt tracks and came across a version of Bags' Groove with one of my favorite solos, which I remember I had transcribed when I was about 18 years old. Fortunately, I still have this book of transcriptions so I wanted to share it.

The album is called "Wizard of the Vibes" (2001 Rudy van Gelder remaster). But this track has appeared on other releases. It is one of the classic versions of Bags' Groove. I suggest you seek out the recording, because the notes are only one aspect of this - the FEEL is what it is all about.

APInstrument Alessandro Pellegrino Mallets

Hi guys,

Today I'd like to talk about a good Friend of mine that, besides being a great percussionist and human being, he's an artist of creating hand made mallets.
I've met Alessandro Pellegrino during the Italy Pas 2 years ago and I got the chance to try out some of his mallets.

I was really surprise about the worm sound a great round attack and, of course, the rattan he chose because it was exactly what i was looking for getting the right mood in my playing.
