Hi everybody.
How to play the vibes in a rock project?
A few time ago, I was vibist in a rock band called Amédée colère. it is sung in french.
We have experimented a lot of combination for my sound :comping, chord or not, riff ,jazz or not.

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to post this on here but I've decided to sell my MalletKAT. I listed it on Ebay this morning so I pasted the link below. It's about 2 years old and is in perfect condition. Please contact me if anyone is interested or has any questions.
Thanks a lot for looking!
Andrew

Thanks John. This is AMAZING. Licks and phrases are language and great musicians speak the language. IMHO

I miss this gig. An easy brunch gig where you could just stretch out and play and try stuff!

I am an amateur vibist--have played 40 years in big bands and quartets and by myself.

I go through lapses of practicing, followed by 'getting back into it.'

I am curious, how do other vibists' daily (3+ times a week?) practice routines look?

For awhile I did the following
- start with major scales in all keys
- diminished scales in all 'keys'
- block chords up and down the vibes (maj7, m7, dim)
- a page or two in Patterns for Jazz
- a couple classical transcriptions (from those three nice transcription books that came out 40 years ago)
- 2-3 Real Book tunes

Hi,

Just shooted a version of my solo Naima.. It's still somehow a practice tape but I thought it would be maybe good enough to be shared.
Please tell me what you think!! Thanks.

Cheers,

Nico

I'm looking for a vibe, somewhere in the price range of about $2500. I don't know if anyone knows of a used m55 or something similar around. Finally trying to upgrade from a xylo...theres only so much you can do without a vibe itself!
