Forum Topic: my vibe solo, Wind, composed by David Friedman, question on performance

I may have some of the terminology wrong, as well as the way the song is to be titled, but please bare with this non-musician, while I try to explain what I am looking for.

Recently my 17 yr old son, a junior in high school, played one of Mr. Friedman’s songs, Wind, a solo on the vibe at a percussion bash at our high school. I am assuming the name of the song is Wind. He said something about it being a movement in the book (?) Mirror from Another. I'm sure once you hear the song, you'll automatically know the name of it.

Forum Topic: Mallet Wrapping PLEASE

Can someone please post a video or some easy to follow instructions on how to wrap mallets for those of us that are a bit slow. I want to wrap my own mallets and find a good sound and I think a video on how to do it would be great.

Also, when/if you post it, make it viewable by all members. LOL

I'm subscribing when I get money, I swear!

Thanks,

Bach on Vibes - The Proof!

This is a video of a classical vibes player (a friend of mine, actually) playing Bach. He studied with the same teacher I did in Ukraine and has virtually made a living playing Bach on the vibes... and a good living at that. He is currently touring with a Latvian violiinst Gidon Kremer, who is very big in Europe.

He plays 'jazz' as well... but it is a more 'planned out' jazz than what most of us strive for.

He has a couple other videos up on youtube but the quality isn't very good.
