He brings out the Tinfoil about 5 minutes in. He's also into effects. He did not need to set up the accidentals :-).
He talks about his equipment at the end.
Any of you guys remember Angelo? He played vibes until he was I think 94 or 96. There are some posts on here about him. Pretty amazing.
Here's a 92 year old vibe player! These are inspiring to me because I will have to play and gig till I kick! So! I like to see 92 year old vibe players out there working!

Here is a list of things on the website, lessons I liked a lot or thought were important. For me it's all of them I guess.
Can any of you guys copy a link of something you thought was interesting and help and put it in the comments? I'll Building on this. This would be especially for new comers to the site or players who don't know what to practice. Pick something from here!

After I did a lesson (Click here for the lesson) on playing solo I tried it fast and came up with what I think is a decent performance of the piece.
Sorry about the metal ding, this is a five year old frame and I have to change a pad on the posts.
Important information for every vibe player!
We talk about grips a lot. I think mine is the best. Right? I should shouldn't I?
Check out Mike's. I think in anyone else's hands this grip would have so many problems. But Mike makes it sound like the best grip in the world. He uses a pick up system to play, keep that in mind. I would imagine it's hard to bang hard on the instrument with that grip.
Here are 5 great vibe players who all have different grips.
Burton
Jackson
Mainieri
Feldman
Hutchinson
Do you notice something rare ? (at least it's the first time i see that) ;o))
Hi all,
I will be doing a clinic at New Jersey City University on Sunday, April 22nd. Exact times are TBD, but the start will likely be 11am.
If you are a high school or college aged vibist that would like to perform, please contact me at behn@behngillecejazz.com and I can provide more details.
This would be a great opportunity to be heard by percussionists and vibe enthusiasts in the NYC area! Hope to hear from some folks!
