Vibraphone

Hello vibes workshop, I hope everyone is having a great summer!

Duo playing is one of my favorite configurations. I wanted to share with you a video from my duet project with guitarist Brad Shepik.

This particular one is a live studio footage of us recording one of the tunes from our debut cd, "Flower Starter", released this summer. CD's and digital are available over at www.beckhamshepik.com and also at CDBaby.com.

Thanks, hope you enjoy it.

Hi Folks,
Realizing that my Malletkat rig is never gonna get through TSA security and am wondering in anyone in the Los Angeles area has a malletkat I could borrow for a week for a few gigs out there?

Thanks!

Me and my dad have been playing a lot with programmed bass lines! Im totally open to any constructive criticism. Ive been playing vibes since January. Im really enjoying myself trying to pick up this instrument

This year at University of Delaware, the xylophonists joined forces with the vibists for one epic, 2-hour long mallet concert.

Great étude – will try to post a better performance next week. Had accuracy issues – and first time I was trying my tablet with a Bluetooth pedal for turning pages :-) not that pedaling and dampening and learning music is hard enough. it was quite an experience – that I might only try at home! :-)

Obviously I will practice slower and stay relaxed – thoughts???

We are updating the site. Well we've (Stephen) been updating it for 2 years. The software upgrade from 6 to 7 is so dramatically different we've had to rewrite code (well Stephen does) and sort of work from the ground up. It's soooo much work, it's driving me crazy.

I'm a little light on my lessons for the site and this is partly why. Stephen has written a few thousand lines of code JUST to move the database. Drupal (software) is a drag.

It's really come close to giving up a couple times, but we're (he's) still at it.
