Blues (Testing the MalletKat Out) by Tony Miceli

The ultimate thing for me is a decent vibe sound. I dig this sound and am getting very comfortable with it and playing it.

This is a different instrument and you have to approach things differently, but I know I'll get better at playing the vibe sound. But I don't think this isn't too bad.

It's great because I 'almost' (like the big fish that got away, huh?) got a gig in South Africa with a band last year. I'm not sure if I could have got a set of vibes. And this was a funky kind of loud band. I could do it with the malletKat.

Just Got the New MalletKat

Wow. I just got the new malletKat and have been playing it. I think Mario did it with this one. He's changed the feel of the instrument and put in Kurtzweil sounds. It's pretty amazing.

I was always a MalletKat fan, but thought of it as an addition to the vibes. I could go out with a band and play on only this and all would be good. The experience was incredible.

I'm thinking about recording some quick improvs to let you guys hear what you can do with this!
