This is when people bought xylo's for the homes I guess. Wow!

This is in Steve Weiss' collection. It's a Century Progress and Steve said there were only 100 made. He owns 2 of them.

These were my teachers at USC, where I did my undergrad. I love how they play the head . Check out those lines!!! Diggin' this.

PS- the break is not F7 hahaha. Can you figure it out!?

I've been actually having a lot of fun, playing with metronome and really thinking hard about rhythm and how certain rhythms should sound. Sometimes I'll play a phrase of a tune or something I just played over and over, just listening to it against the metronome on 2 and 4. It's really fascinating to me how certain rhythms lay against the 2 and the 4.

I'm thinking about doing the same things against other things such as a clave (just got a clave app for my iphone) and bossa rhythms etc.

Anyone else thinking along these lines?

Some tips on melodic voicing.

Dear Mr. Baileo,

I'm interested in buying a vibraphone in configuration of the Musser one nighter (3 octaves, no motor - and with a Pro instrument sound) Can you please tell me how much a Gigvibe in that configuration would cost?

Thank you,
Emre

Hey,
I think it's a great thing One great thing I learned from the Sassenheim workshop was a bossa pattern played by vid (a great vibraphone player from Slovenia). So, I practised it and I thought it's cool to post it on the site. I hope you enjoy it. Any of you latin guys feel that can be played in a better way please feel free to comment.

Hello Everyone,

I'm new here.. I'm a professional drummer wanting to be a complete musician, and would like to seriously get into studying the vibes. I don't know if I'll ever gig on the vibes every night, but I would like to get a Pro instrument. Is there a difference in Sound between the musser brands: M55, M48 or the M46? (I'm aware that M46 does not come with a motor)

If it all sounds the same, and feels similar to play, and the only difference is the cosmetics...than I would like to purchase the M46..

Good decision??

Thank you all!

Emre

We're having a non internet vibe hang at my house this Saturday. If you're interested in coming let me know. We'll chip in for pizza and I have a bass player coming, so we'll jam and talk about vibes.
