6 + 4 African Bell Perspectives
This video explores a contemporary treatment of a bell pattern from the country of Benin in West Africa. These drumset examples are adapted to playing the balafon, but can be applied to any instrument. The 2-bar pattern in 12/8 is built with the first bar in a “6” feel and the second in “4.” The alternation of 6 and 4 creates a profound shift in perspective as it is played by the musician and heard by the listener.

Hello Everyone!
I had some time so I decided to make a couple of audio lessons on triads, which have been the focus of my practicing lately! After years of practicing seventh chords, 9th chords, 11th chords, and 13th chords, I've come to appreciate what triads can do.

Probably one of the best things about our instrument is that, when all hell is breaking loose around us, we can retreat to an instrument that is capable of playing very peaceful and soothing tones. It's one of those nights over here and this is one of my mother in law's favorite Christmas tunes, "Mary's Boy Child" by Harry Belafonte.
Thought I'd share it. Been working on some new recording technique for very soft playing as well.
This is the first part in my phrasing series, where I'll hit my main thoughts on dampening, pedaling, sticking, and articulation. This video is on sticking.
