I thought Tony's simple question was so funny, that I decided to do another one. Here it is:

When you have a gig, how many times do you check to make sure you have every part of the vibraphone?

WHY IS IT EVERYTIME I PUT MY STICKS ON THE VIBES, ONE.... ONLY ONE..... MALLET FALLS OFF. EVERY TIME.

THAT'S IT. JUST A QUESTION. BOY IT PISSES ME OFF.

Hey all,

I own a Deagan Vibraharp No. 35 Rondo, and I am trying to find out how much it is worth. I have contacted the Deagan factory in Chicago and was told by Mr.Serna that he would hold it in his show room and give me $450-600 if it was sold. This leads me to believe it is worth much more than that since he would be taking a cut out of the sale as well. Does anyone have ideas or resources to find the amount it is worth? I have searched high and low, but am having troubles coming up with any solid numbers. I will post a link to my model instrument (not my instrument in particular).

This etude makes use of the "Milt Lick" that we discussed a few months back. Refer to the "Check It Out". Pdf attached.

Always fun playing with Mr. Sergio Salvatore. Here we are playing one of my tunes called 'Unrequited'. I have to thank Leigh Stevens and Malletech for the new gorgeous 'Omega' Vibe. Also, a big thank you to Mr. Mike Balter who designed my signature mallets.

Do you know Patrick Simard ? Canadian drummer. A Berklee guy also. Great fusion drumming and pretty good at vibes as well !! Love his phrasing !
Transcribing is a good way to practice !!

It's a rail that you put close to the bars. I wonder how good it is? If we could put a mic a half inch from each bar, that's really close. Now the bars ARE the loudest thing going into the mic.

Has anyone seen or used a system like this?
