A little Monday morning warmup on the marimba at Berklee with Chick Corea’s classic composition “Armando’s Rhumba”. I liked Patrice's post regarding the marimba. I love playing the marimba and have learned a lot from marimbists. I've taught a lot of marimbists from the Boston Conservatory who were Nancy Zeltsman's students. Students have included Pius Cheung, Eriko Daimo and Hidemi Murase who were really inspiring. Things like touch, fluidity, use of four mallets, orchestration, interesting pieces, etc, can give us some interesting things to think about and apply to the vibes.

here´s some more music for the detective novel i wrote. this is a vamp for a scene in a special pub.

i think it´s a great example of the possibilties for us malletplayers to sound like a keyboard player. it´s fun

Rüdiger Scheipner - Sax
Christoph Kammer - Bass
Tarik Dosdogru - Drums & Malletkat

A little Saturday morning practice before heading out to mow the lawn. Ha!Ha! Playing "Don't Forget (Renato's Theme"), a beautiful song composed by the great Pat Metheny. I love Pat's writing and the sound and feel of my M39 Vic Firth mallets.

Hi
here´s some more music i composed for the detective novel. ths is very very simple but i like the possibilities of the malletkat to add spacey sounds. it fits perfect to the mood in the story which is very sad and dark as you can hear :)

i also added donnerblech (don´t know the english word for it) and cymbal played with bow.

as i said nothing fancy to play but i like the mood and the recording.

A few choruses recorded today by a student in a private lesson. We were talking about left hand comping on There Will Never Be Another You.

Here is our version of the children song no 6 by chick corea. i don´t like the reverb on the recording and humming like keith jarret of the piano player but i had no influence on both :)

other than that i think we played it ok.
