Hello fellow vibists,

I'll be leading a group of Berklee faculty for a performance on Saturday, January 5th at the 4th Annual JEN (Jazz Education Network) conference in Atlanta, Georgia. The group will feature Matt Marvuglio - flute, Marco Pignataro - sax, David Clark - bass, Ron Savage - drums and myself on vibes. The conference takes place from January 2nd through the 5th. David Clark will be assuming the bass chair for Barry Smith who can't make it.

Hey, I have this stuck in my mind, I taped it, mostly to remember it.

It must be the time of the year. I really have no energy. Perhaps that's why I come with something like this. It's a rough idea. Maybe I do something with it, maybe not.

greetings stefan.

This Friedman etude No3 from one of my students. I always encourage my students to make up and play their own etudes. I will post his soon.

Enjoy

My students love this book. In this video, one of my students plays the number 2 and I thought to post it here in order to hear the opinion of the person who wrote it (not just me) and ofcorse from other players. He is a very hard-working guy and also a great drummer. So, Mr Friedman...what do you think. He is going to work more on that etudes and hopefully make his own ones.
Thanks

Dimitris

I have a malletkat but I'm not sure what the best software is to use it with. I remember seeing demos with Mainstage, and that seems cool, but I have a pc. Any suggestions?
