Here's a new clip that we just recorded in my home studio this past Sunday. Mark and I have been playing duo gigs for awhile now. He came over to hang and play some tunes. Playing duo with upright bass is a lot of fun.

If you are busting ass on rhythm changes but need a little break, here is something to clear the head with. This, however, can be applied to rhythm changes.

hey everyone .. i just received my malletkat pro today. Very excited to be back playing mallets and equally excited to be playing on mario's malletkat pro 6.

from the start it was easy to plug into reason 4 and start immediatly using the sounds. however i must solve a transposition issue with the vibe sound on the nnxt module inside of reason.

i must admit im a little challenge when reading manuels and understand the flow of the book.. so with that in minde .. HOw do i transpose the malletkat down 2 octaves? the patch i have on reason is way too tinny.

I'd like to subscribe but I don't know what the differences are between the 3 subscription levels (Premium, Standard and Student). Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Some tips on simple soloing over rhythm changes.

Here's the deal.

Download the pdf of ONLY the high notes. Fill in the other voices (below) and make your own etude. Play and post your version. Then check out mine! You can my version, but don't look at mine. Fill in your chords first!!!

Dear friends vibists,

unfortunately (!), I have decided to sell my brand new M55G. I bought it last november, it came to my house straight from the Musser factory.

I am a first year graduate music student in NY. As from this summer I am not sure whether I will be able to continue my studies because it is possible that I will not get my funding and scholarships renewed (I have 3 at the moment). We all know that these are tough times for the arts....
