How Much?

An excerpt from David Friedman's Workshop. Here he's talking about common tones.

This is a beautiful sound! After hearing 16 vibraphones in chaos during warmups before class, it was great to hear them playing the same tune. What a beautiful sound!

Young musicians beginning their career at this level...

Man Danny Gottlieb was playing the DrumKat today! It sounds just like a drum set!!

I'm curious about other people's experience with mallet break in. I have a set of mallets that sounded really harsh (i.e. too hard) when I first played them and now they sound really great.
