So, for those of you who don't know me that well, it will suffice to say that after years of pretty much only playing jazz on the vibes (occassionally working with some R&B or latin groups)I began to play music in and around the yoga community about 5 years ago.
I thought Tony's simple question was so funny, that I decided to do another one. Here it is:
When you have a gig, how many times do you check to make sure you have every part of the vibraphone?
WHY IS IT EVERYTIME I PUT MY STICKS ON THE VIBES, ONE.... ONLY ONE..... MALLET FALLS OFF. EVERY TIME.
THAT'S IT. JUST A QUESTION. BOY IT PISSES ME OFF.
Always fun playing with Mr. Sergio Salvatore. Here we are playing one of my tunes called 'Unrequited'. I have to thank Leigh Stevens and Malletech for the new gorgeous 'Omega' Vibe. Also, a big thank you to Mr. Mike Balter who designed my signature mallets.
Filmed at PASIC 2012 in Austin, TX.
Do you know Patrick Simard ? Canadian drummer. A Berklee guy also. Great fusion drumming and pretty good at vibes as well !! Love his phrasing !
Transcribing is a good way to practice !!
This is a LONG but great lesson.
Who can play this etude? I'll buy Giovani's cd for the first person to post their version.
I can get some free housing with Matthais' friends. He said it wouldn't be a problem If you want the free housing email me tonymiceli@gmail.com. Not sure how many spots he can find, but iI know it's a few.

I'm selling one of my M55s. No motor and in good shape.
If you're seriously interested you can email me for more info at tonymiceli@gmail.com.
I'm in Philadelphia, PA. Wouldn't know how to ship it so that's probably not a great idea.
