I’ve always just kind of done two mallet stuff on the malletkat. I’m trying four mallets but collisions are occurring. Can anyone recommend a smaller headed mallet that they use on the malletkat please.

This is a mallet dampening etude I wrote for the 2nd online vibes boot camp. This is the first time I ever used mallet dampening, so I tried to use it in as many ways as I could. Hope you all enjoy! -Liam Hurley

John Keene I always say is our local historian. He mentioned a vibe player I never heard about before. So if John Mentions him, I always check him out. He is great!

This reminds me how cool this song is. Lots of high school kids play it. Just like all the wedding bands back in the day playing a crappy version of Girl From Ipanema. You hate and then you hear the original and go, wow it's so beautiful…

"Never Never Land" from Peter Pan - Fun exploring on this great song with music by Jule Styne and lyrics from Betty Comden and Adolph Green. Such a hip song with wonderful chord changes and a memorable melody and lyrics.

Maestro Ennio Morricone’s “Gabriele’s Oboe” from the movie “The Mission”. A gorgeous piece of music and beautiful movie theme. He left us with such an impressive legacy of music that will continue on.
