This is a duo I have with another student of David, Julius Heise.
He is playing marimba and me on vibes. A kind of minimal piece of mine called Irrlicht.
Check out David's comping here. I really felt like he left me plenty of space to do my thing!
The other thing I like is doing a vibe duet with 2 different model instruments. When you do a vibe duet with the same model instrument it sounds like one person playing with 8 mallets! But this way I think it sounds like 2 people playing.
Vid is a young talent I'm sure we'll all keep an eye on as he's young and sounds great!
House music! I love this video, hope it brings a smile to your faces too!
Hey Everybody,
Yesterday I played in one of the best watched tv shows in Holland with a singer from Rotterdam, Ntjam Rosie. A really great band to play with. Below are two songs. One is a very short song where I play vibes and a little percussion the second one I play only percussion.
Hope you like it!
John sent me that one this morning, among others... I couldn't resist posting it! What can I say? I love this picture!! :o)

it will be there for 7 days
I just had a phone call with someone. We were talking and I thought of something I wanted to say. I knew underneath I was partly bragging about ME. Strike one. Then the conversation just started to drift but I HAD to get my plug in there. So I tried to work it in the new subject. I blurted it out and sounded like a frickin' idiot. Awkward moment but the other person just moved on.
On the way home I realized that I have done this with soloing AND comping as well. You guys get it?
