Hello everyone!

I wanted to make a more technique-oriented lesson to give a look inside how I think everyone should practice four mallets. We’ll look at permutations, interval work, and one-handed rudiments in this lesson. By doing these exercises, you’re essentially training your hands to be ready for any combination of notes you’ll ever have to play, in whichever mallets make the most sense to play with. Let me know what you guys think!

The producer I am working with to create soundtracks for his mini-series has become one of my favorite teachers. He is not a musician, nor does he even play an instrument formally. His relationship to music comes from his understanding of how it provides the setting and colorations of the on-screen events in movies.

Here another recording. The positive side of covid is it let time to record music, and for me to set up a duo with an old friend....
Critics welcomed !

Hola a todos!
Comparto mi versión de este maravilloso estudio (uno de mis favoritos de su libro) del gran David Friedman.
Espero que les guste.

One last video to share for I'll Remember April. I played this tune at least five times (over four hours) when I was busking on Saturday, and I took a video of the ballad version. The sound is amplified in such a hip way thanks to the tunnel I play next to in Prospect Park! :-)

Hi! This is my version of the Etude n.6 of David Friedman's Vibraphone Technique Dampening and Pedaling book. Thanks for watching!

Hi Everyone,
April is Jazz Appreciation Month. It's great to have a whole month, not just a day, but I know you and I appreciate jazz all year. In this month's show I share many of the ways listeners can show they care. If you know others I haven't mentioned, let me know. But first you have to listen to the show, right?

Since I wasn't part of the livestream for the "I'll Remember April" pop-up class, I recorded my own mini concert. I primarily worked on two styles of this tune over these weeks, a ballad and a Latin-inspired version.

In this video I play both styles back to back (Latin starts around 3:48). There's lots more I'd like to work on (such as improving my bebop vocabulary for soloing), but overall I'm happy with the progress I made on this tune during this pop-up class series.

I think this is my last frame design. It now fulfills all my wishes and ideas. Besides the new, additional folding method, I am very happy that I managed to realize the twistable flaps in the frames without any restrictions on the folding versions.
It was a long development process until the twisting flaps also achieved good stability.

A corresponding flap version as a conversion kit for Musser M55 is in progress and close to completion.

Just a little spontaneous solo vibes rendition of "Blues for Alice."
