Do you guys know about Allan Cox's "Meet The Bass Player" play-along tracks?  They're very basic - bass and guitar - recordings of 12-bar blues and rhythm changes in a couple of common keys. 

The thing about them that is most useful is that they cover a very wide range of tempos - 40 bpm to 340 bpm (yikes!).  I use them for drum kit practice, but it occurred to me that they might be useful for vibraphone as well.  I don't know of another play-along thing that covers that range of tempos.

The MalletKat is a serious electronic instrument for professional percussionists. I can do so much, dampening, pitch bend, 2 instruments layered and a lot more. 

Hello!

I have had a Jenco for a while now. As of late, I've been going to many jams and rehearsals with it. That's all well and good, but I don't have a case. I have looked around the internet and talked to musicians in town. I have come up with dead ends so far. I did get something for my resonators, but not for the main instrument. (The frame, the bars, and the pedal are all one piece.) Does anyone know a reputable place to check out for custom cases? Or vibraphone cases in general?

Something old, Something new and Something blue! That's 1970's Musser M55 Bars, Malletech frame, and Blue Bossa!

Jazz on marimba is getting more attention!  Bassist Brian Casey  and I explore my tune Tu Te Paries Ta Vie  at CU Boulder.

I don't know anything about him. Just checking him out and trying to figure him out.

One interesting fact is that Lee is Christian Mcbride's father. He's also a great bass player.

here's a meme for everyone else's enjoyment.
