This is pretty amazing. It's 1000 sounds and it basically fits in the palm of your hand. Made for percussionists.

Hi everyone! Here is a video that I made on some things that I have been learning from John Coltrane's solo on "Take the Coltrane" (Duke Ellington).

I've attached a pdf that includes examples of Coltrane's use of tritone subs and triad shapes that I will talk about in this video. I've also attached the pdf of the full solo in case you'd like to check these out in context!

"In My Life" by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Some late night practice sight reading some songs from a Beatles fakebook. Good practice since many of the songs are in most of the sharp keys. This is one of my favorites. A legacy of so many memorable and well crafted tunes.

I have never used the vibration device in the past because I don't like that extreme wah-wah sound. Now a friend really wanted one of my folding frames, but with a vibration device (he plays stylistically like Milt Jackson).

So I did look into it after all.

While testing, I came up with the idea that you don't have to align the fans exactly in a row if they can be removed as easily as with my frame. Therefore, I arranged them in a rotationally offset manner.
Because I wanted a realistic statement for myself about the resulting sound, I recorded the test.

Why don't you write an etude for the book?
We need an etude, a youtube video of you playing the etude well and a description.

This is part of the Open Source Dampening and Pedaling book. This is free for all to use. It's a beautiful etude.
