Here David talks about solo playing and makes the point about syncopation. Why play the same rhythm with both hands? Play another rhythm with the left hand.

Ethan is worn out on day 5 of the workshop in Delaware!

A few years ago, I did a lesson where I talked about minor surround tones. I feel like surround tones are often discussed over dominant and minor, but not major as often. So I decided to talk a little about how to surround chord tones on major chords, enjoy!

Hi All,

I've got to that point in life where I need to buy a Vibraphone. I program and play keyboards for a living and can afford something reasonably good. I'm going to be playing jazz and not working on more 4 to the floor!

However, I'm in the UK and I'm unsure of what to buy and then where from. Vibraphones seem to be in short supply here!

Firstly, I'm a bit worried about buying something old because if it needs repair or tuning - I won't know where to take it in the UK.

Dave is talking about minor voicings.

Right across the way from us is a GREAT xylo workshop with the great Bob Becker teaching 10 percussionists from all over the world about the world of ragtime.

Here's a piece that features a great Philly percussionist Harvey Price. He's also the head of percussion at Univ of Delaware and the reason why vibesworkshop does it's summer workshop in Delaware. Harvey Rocks and is a great friend of mine and is a great percussionist and xylo man!
