Woah!! Bobby comping with 4 mallets!!!

A member of the site here just got his first gig on vibes. I thought I would mention that and mention how important it is to play live. Yes if you haven't done it, the first times are a little scary and might even be a disaster, but this is a huge part of getting better and you need to do it.

Thought maybe we could discuss this a little bit if you guys wanted to. Playing in groups and playing live is a important as practicing, if not more!

Here's another video of Mr. Gibbs from 2009. He still kills it everyday!! Now that's an inspiration!

My buddy Jay Garrett is in this video "dueling" with him on vibes. Very Cool!

I hope that this entry works. It's a rare video of Milt Jackson playing The Sheriff with 2 fathead mallets in 1964.

Oh man this is so unbelievable. Terry Pollard is a smoking pianist and then she gets on the vibes and tears it up with Terry Gibbs. And Gibbs is a monster on this!!!

I died when i heard this!!!

It was Milt's Birthday, Jan, 1st (right?).
