So Watch this video:
See all the double sticking. I think in order to play 4 mallets we need to study some of this technique. The thing about this technique is that the hands are separated a lot of the time. Ok, it's more then we want,…
I just bought a Deagan Commander recently, the version with the pickups installed (a 594, in other words), but I'm thinking about removing them. I have another set of vibes I've been using on gigs until now and I've never needed pickups,…
