So much here that's interesting. The way the bars are mounted, The 3-2 clave, the groove, the way they play together and listen, the tuning. Sure made my day.

Hi All,
Does anyone know who plays the vibes solo on Bennett and Winehouse's "Body and Soul" on Duets II? I don't have the album. Even though I've looked everywhere online I can think of, there is no credit for vibraphone that I can see.
Best,

Hello everybody,
I’ll be headed to Philly in a couple of weeks for the Weiss festival and vibes workshop! I’m planning on bringing my vibes but am unsure how I will actually get them to and from where the workshop is. Does anyone ever use the bus or subway? I’ll have a rock and roller cart with everything on that. How about taking an Uber for the first trip to have them there? Please let me know your thoughts on this!
Also, who’s going to be at the workshop? Can’t wait!!
Thanks.
Hi all,
Below is some general balafon history that I send to my students. Hopefully, this provides some traditional context to several West African countries where it is played. I’ll let the info speak for itself and keep checking in on member conversations.
Important reminder: The video lessons I am uploading do not represent a traditional context or style I learned in Burkina Faso. I am using my own 4-mallet approach to connect rhythm ideas and grooves that can be played on any mallet instrument.
Whether it's music, or business, or sports, or relationships...in the end, success is all the same. This man gets right to the heart of it. Worth a few minutes to read...

Here is my 2nd assignment for Fall 2017.
this goes out to all us malletkat Cats..
Whats your favorite Vibe sounds .. marimba sound .. and other cool patches ...
i like the Creamy vibe patch and also the chorus vibe patch
Pardon if this has already been addressed, but could I ask those who are Kat owners to suggest an amplifier that you use or really like? There is such variety available that it would be helpful knowing what to prioritize when trying different amps at Guitar Center.
Thanks in advance!!
John
