Mike Balter is the Best!

I own a set of Joe Locke crossover mallets. These are great sticks if you're looking for a big sound without the real clang of hard mallets. Unfortunately, my stick have come unwrapped twice now. And I don't mean the yarn broke, but it literally just fell off the stick. Mike Balter rewrapped them for me the first time for no cost, and now he's replacing the set of mallets as a whole for a new set at no cost. There's a reason vibe players love Mike; he's straight forward, down to earth, he gets musicians, he's reasonable, and let's face it: he makes the best sticks!

Donna Lee - Duo Guitar + Vibes w/ Tarik Dosdogru

hi,
every friday i rehearse for fun with my best friend from school days. since short time we got a new location in the house of my mother where i put my 2nd vibes (studio 49). the location is great (i can use 4 rooms) and i plan slowly to built some sort of studio there and moved some of my recording stuff there. however in this video it´s still the sound of the camera. his name is christof and he´s a great guitar player.i learn a lot from just playing with him every friday.

Hi Marie,
was browsing the internet and came across this piece of music which I think you really love. Hope you enjoy it.

p.s. actually anyone can love this piece and by all means, do so and enjoy.

p.s.s Note the bass players is Paul Chambers, who was two years ahead of me in high school. No, I was not studying music at the time, I was studying printing press and typesetting.
