I thought Tony's simple question was so funny, that I decided to do another one. Here it is:
When you have a gig, how many times do you check to make sure you have every part of the vibraphone?
WHY IS IT EVERYTIME I PUT MY STICKS ON THE VIBES, ONE.... ONLY ONE..... MALLET FALLS OFF. EVERY TIME.
THAT'S IT. JUST A QUESTION. BOY IT PISSES ME OFF.
Hey all,
I own a Deagan Vibraharp No. 35 Rondo, and I am trying to find out how much it is worth. I have contacted the Deagan factory in Chicago and was told by Mr.Serna that he would hold it in his show room and give me $450-600 if it was sold. This leads me to believe it is worth much more than that since he would be taking a cut out of the sale as well. Does anyone have ideas or resources to find the amount it is worth? I have searched high and low, but am having troubles coming up with any solid numbers. I will post a link to my model instrument (not my instrument in particular).
This etude makes use of the "Milt Lick" that we discussed a few months back. Refer to the "Check It Out". Pdf attached.
Always fun playing with Mr. Sergio Salvatore. Here we are playing one of my tunes called 'Unrequited'. I have to thank Leigh Stevens and Malletech for the new gorgeous 'Omega' Vibe. Also, a big thank you to Mr. Mike Balter who designed my signature mallets.

Do you know Patrick Simard ? Canadian drummer. A Berklee guy also. Great fusion drumming and pretty good at vibes as well !! Love his phrasing !
Transcribing is a good way to practice !!
It's a rail that you put close to the bars. I wonder how good it is? If we could put a mic a half inch from each bar, that's really close. Now the bars ARE the loudest thing going into the mic.
Has anyone seen or used a system like this?
Recently I have noticed, when on the Internet, on almost any page I visit whether it be a bulletin board or just pages browsing the Internet, there always seems to be certain key words that are highlighted in color and double underscored. These words do not have to be clicked on to activate. If you just pass your mouse cursor over the underscored words, then an annoying or unwanted ad pops up that appear to be sponsored by "QwikLinx". Move the cursor away and they go away in a couple of seconds or you can click the x box in upper right corner.
