Anyone heard of this guy? I think he's fantastic. A friend of mine recently introduced me to his stuff. What do you guys think? I attached a video.

This is a rough version on the tune, I decided to post it, I know I can do it better but strike while the iron is hot right?....:)forgive a few bum notes,tried to apply some of the stuff talked about as well......and then I read Behn doesn't like solos on ballads..shit. sorry Behn

Here's an exercise I did recently. Just played a tune and played the offbeats. It's pretty hard.

Add the MalletKat in the mix and working with the pedal (which you have to really think a little differently with when playing lines) and this is a very hard etude.

AND....... metronome on 2 and 4
Try it on the vibes and try to keep the notes smooth and legato and swing the offbeats.

Hi !
I actually listen to my graduation recital and I'd like to share with you my version of Beautiful Love. It was a big challenge to play a solo piece, find a musical direction who suits me ... I'd never do that before ! I practiced in one direction to another, and here is the consequent.

Hope you enjoy!

Based on the tune: Groovin' High. Play this etude fast with a metronome on 2 and four. Feel the rhythms and how they fit around the high hat! I love doing stuff like this.

Hi !
Here is Vince Guaraldi composed by Tony !
It was recorded at my graduation recital in Canada in December.
I particularly love played this tune because it was the way to praise Tony at this important event for me.

So.. Tony.. It's my version, and it's for you ! :)
