Drum Percussion

Recently purchased the Late Night mallets which arrived today. The heads are larger than I expected, which makes them a tad unwieldy, but used them for a while and I think I'll get used to them. Its sure nice to play my vibes with the resonators on in my apartment and not worry about volume. Btw; they sound amazing on suspended cymbal! These will be my go-to mallets for orchestral cymbal work. No impact; just the sound of the swell. I'm sure they'll sound nice on low end marimba too.

It's the most famous "pop" song every written so I had to do it.

Hey my peeps,

Final Concert at the South Pole -

WHAT IS MUSIC? Music is different for different people. I’ve learned that it is not the privilege of the audience to experience an artist’s music but rather it is truly a privilege for the artist who gets to present their musical expressions to a receptive audience.

I just attended PASIC for the first time. I enjoyed it, but for me there were also a number of frustrating moments that I wanted to give voice to, because I think frustrations like these are sometimes invisible if you're not experiencing them firsthand. Here's a link to my blog if you want to read it with photos and nice formatting. I'll also paste the whole entry here.

Sitting here in the fire house - McMurdo Station, Antarctica with fingers crossed that our plane (LC 130) gets fixed in time to leave for the south pole tonight at 23:00 (in about 3 hours from now). Just amazing. Anxious, excited, very tired from an earlier call today. Working all day and now it looks like we just might be leaving for the very bottom of the Earth. My first trip to the Pole. What will it be like? My Antarctic Vibraphone is already there, waiting for me.

Hi everyone at vibesworkshop.com! I'd like to announce the publishing of my new Trio 'Verwirrspiel' ('Confusion') for marimba,vibraphone and percussion (cajon+cymbals).

It's a piece, i've been working on quite a while. The sound of marimba and vibes combined with cajon an cymbals is very inspiring to me. In addition, I have always been interested in rhythmic 'knots' and their resolution, as you can clearly hear in this piece. ;-)

Hello Everyone!

I’m happy to announce that a project that I’ve been working on for years is finally a reality! I’ve recently launched the website: www.percussionandelectronics.com

PURPOSE
The website was created to facilitate the ability to discover and listen to music scores for percussion utilizing electronics as accompaniment. On the website you will find a large searchable database of works that aims to connect the percussionists with the composers and publishers. (Currently 240 pieces and growing)

I decided to do an impromptu solo vibe clinic on my way through New Zealand.
