This is something I've been working on since moving to Boston and studying with Ed. There is an article from PAS that somebody has posted on here already that explains the mechanics of Ed's fulcrum grip but this video really shows it in action.

Make sure to watch the whole thing... everything is shown with multiple camera angles.

This is along the same lines of the video of singing tips that Tony posted. The only difference is that I think this guy is serious. He posts these to a web-site called the expert village

Make sure you watch what notes he's playing!

Questions?

Any Questions?

Yes yet another version. We videoed this for some promo we're doing. Great players so I thought I'd post it.

Diane Monroe - Violin
Tony Miceli - Vibes
Tony Marino - Bass
Todd Isler - Percussion

This is just so good, I had to share it. And with Larry Bunker on drums, who of course was also a great vibist.

I continue to find wonderful historic jazz performances on YouTube. It's an amazing resource in that regard. If you want more, there are a lot of great clips linked as favorites on my page: http://www.youtube.com/VibraphonicMusic

If any mallet players are around the nyc area tomorrow night, please stop by and have a glass of vino and check the music out. I'll give a free CD to any vibe player that shows up. If you stay long enough you can check out Lage Lund's trio afterward.

I just saw this on YouTube and it reminded me of my interest in learning and hearing other classical tunes for the vibes.

(As a side note, notice he picks up a 5th mallet at 4:18).

I totally dug Gustavo's Partita video.

Gustavo, was that a literal transcription or did you have to modify the original to fit the vibes?

I'm glad this site isn't called JazzVibesWorkshop and maybe other folks would also like to work on classical pieces with me.

Hi All,

I play regularly with a few drummers who can't read music, one most of the time and a couple of others on a fairly regular fill-in basis. I've been trying to get us to do some more formal arrangements of tunes -- nothing terribly complicated, just some accent points and rhythm breaks, added interludes and the like, although I'd like to get more complicated. I've been having trouble communicating these things to the drummers though.
