Wow, that was my favorite TOTM. Thanks Behn for suggesting it! It feels so good to know that a bunch of you guys are really working on this stuff. It helps me a lot. It's weird taking money from people. I really worry that people are getting something out of this site. With the Satin Doll TOTM it made me feel really good! That's the most involvement yet.

The thing I've learned about this site is, that this site is like a couple cockroaches in your apartment. You might see 2 of them, but you can be sure that there's another 50 behind the wall. You dig?

I just purchased a very nice M75 from a guy in town. I tried it out with and without dampening and it sounded great.

So we break it down, and I drive it home, and assemble it back together.
The dampening on the lower octave is poor, no dampening; the higher register is OK and so far no issues.
I've fiddled with the dampening controls and took out the bars, placed them back in, along with the frame pieces. At least 3 times. Still the dampening is almost non existent on the lower register.

ok .. im shamlessly subjective all my vw friends here to my new records that are coming .

This is the title cut called Jackson, composed by yours truely .. all of the mackay project material for this record is original and four mallet work unlike the jazz standards cd which is two mallet work

Hey all, this is the 1st mix of my new jazz standards cd. This cd is focused on two mallet work rather than four mallets. i really wanted to pay hommage the masters that influenced all of us .. milt especially ... hope you dig the recording .. The sax player on this cut is a friend of mine that played in Louie prima's band from 52 to 54. Bud is 84 years old and had never been recorded .. so im blessed to have him on this recording.

Our next TOTM. Cool changes on this tune!
