Since “Dreamsville” seems to be the topic of discussion here I thought I’d contribute a solo version I did several weeks ago. I’d be more than happy to answer any questions about the piece, the performance, concept, etc. Enjoy.

Do you guys know about Allan Cox's "Meet The Bass Player" play-along tracks?  They're very basic - bass and guitar - recordings of 12-bar blues and rhythm changes in a couple of common keys. 

The thing about them that is most useful is that they cover a very wide range of tempos - 40 bpm to 340 bpm (yikes!).  I use them for drum kit practice, but it occurred to me that they might be useful for vibraphone as well.  I don't know of another play-along thing that covers that range of tempos.

I have a lot of reverb on this sound. Effects on internal sounds are simply a dial on the instrument, so you can adjust on the fly. 

I'm having a lot of fun using the MalletKat. There are new pads for the instrument and they feel great! 

The MalletKat is a serious electronic instrument for professional percussionists. I can do so much, dampening, pitch bend, 2 instruments layered and a lot more.
