Hey everyone, I thought I'd share a recent "project" of mine. (headphones recommended!). I hope this is an okay place to share this!

As some of you may know, I'm a big fan of progressive rock, and more recently, space/psychedelic rock. I've always thought it'd be cool to somehow incorporate the vibraphone into it. Well, one of my favorite groups is Porcupine Tree, and in their early catalog they have a very droney/spacey tune called Radioactive Toy.

Adapt then Change! :-)

Caravan Comping Tip

Great and all free improvised.

Not really.
But it's a great guitar performance! I just discovered Mimi and she plays really great!
But imagine this on vibes. It works and it would sound great.

Guitar players are so inspiring to me because they are solving the same problems we are.

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted here on Vibes Workshop. Just going through some old videos that I haven't posted and thought I would share - this is "In Your Own Sweet Way" (Dave Brubeck) recorded remotely with some fellow University of the Arts students/young Philadelphia musicians last year.

Caravan Diminished Scale Tip 

Hello everyone!

I wanted to make a more technique-oriented lesson to give a look inside how I think everyone should practice four mallets. We’ll look at permutations, interval work, and one-handed rudiments in this lesson. By doing these exercises, you’re essentially training your hands to be ready for any combination of notes you’ll ever have to play, in whichever mallets make the most sense to play with. Let me know what you guys think!
