Percussion Geeks is a Video Podcast about musicians that love percussion!

This week we will be organizing a summer vibe camp in Limerick, Ireland. This means that we will be less active at the school, but we will collect a lot of audio and video during this week and post it on the site. So be sure to check that out.

If you want to attend the Vibe Camp check out the information below and also go to www.larrysimprovpage.com for more info on how to sign up.

For all those who sign up, you'll get:

Here are all the lesson plans. If you're having trouble figuring out something to practice look here for ideas.

If you're new to the site check out the videos here as well as any other links on this page. It will help get you familiar with everything!

Most of your learning will center around the resources and in the book section, esp the 'Good Vibes Book'.

Here's a video where you can watch me play from above. You can check out my technique and also see how I approach solo playing.

Check out the 'Cats' that are on the scene and playing the instrument and keeping it going!

Don't know what CD to get? Want to find out about more players? Players you don't know about? Look through the picks here! There should be plenty of new ideas for you!

In this section you will learn all about music theory.

This section will cover grooves. Ethnic and other grooves. When it comes to ethnic grooves like Latin and Brazilian ones, I don't consider myself an expert. This is mainly for the reason that I didn't grow in Brazil or Cuba. Those musicians are the real experts!

However I have played with many great musicians who were truly experts in these styles. They gave me tips and advice and ways to learn and adapt the music to the vibraphone. This is what I can pass along to you.
