Hello Vibes Workshop members,
I'm very happy to announce that my book, "The Band Teacher's Percussion Guide: Insights into Playing and Teaching Percussion", (https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-band-teachers-percussion-gu…) has just been published by Oxford University Press.
This is Michel Petrucciani playing the most beautiful version of "In A Sentimental Mood" I've ever heard. I decided to share it here because Tony recently requested ideas for solo playing and I forgot to mention this one.

Here's my mic set up. You can see the specially designed plexiglass PZM boundary I had made many years ago. It's shaped in a stereo configuration. I really like the concept of PZM. Here's what I know about it. I think the "PZM" (pressure zone microphone) was discovered in the 1980s. You can research it but I got my information from crown engineers. Crown owned the patent or patent rights. I'm writing from memory so it may not be completely accurate. The way I understand it, the "pressure zone" was discovered in the '80's. Here's how it was explained to me.
I was fixing up one of the rooms in my house to be a dedicated room for drumming. As I started building the sound baffles to help control the sound, I realized that this would be a great "Quick Tip" video to share with others. So, I started recording and explaining as I went. I spent the day putting this together. It's only my second video like this and I learned a ton about editing and camera placement (I learn from mistakes seen here). Regardless of the clamp above my head, the poor editing and camera work, I hope it's useful. It was definitely a great practice video.
All consumer video recorders, or camcorders, produce good to excellent video, but usually terrible audio. I have an inexpensive Kodak Zi8 camera, which has an external mic-in port. I can get sort of ok audio when I use a good condenser mic plugged into the camera, but I've been hunting for an inexpensive way to improve that even more.
