Hey everyone,
I'm about to get pickups from nico for my vibes and I have been looking at some effect units to buy.
Does anyone have experience with this. I recently did some gigs with a borrowed vibe with pickups and a Roland GP 100 effect…

OK, so this isn't vibes related, but it's so nice to see people having fun with music :-).
I usually hate movies about music -- everthing's so serious. If they're about classical music, the main character has to have some debilitating…
I never heard about a technique that I just thought of and tried out.
I was playing a line and let the last note ring out. I took my open palm over that note and fluttered it up and down to get a tremolo. This is analogous to what a…
Here's a very special post!! I made this with Marie. I recorded my tracks and sent them to her to sing over. We had fun and thought you guys would like to hear her sing!
My 7 year old daughter sometimes watches me practice and saw me creating a tremolo by moving my hand up and down over a vibrating bar (like a harmonica player would do to create tremolo). She wanted to experiment with a technique that she…
Gary has recently posted some great music by Astor Piazzolla, and that reminded me of a piece by another South American, Heitor Villa-Lobos. It's a popular composition titled "Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5", which was originally written for…
After David's presentation of Michael Schiefel, here comes Giulio Carmasi, an amazing multi-instrumentiste, redoing by his own the Brecker Brother's Slick Stuff... with great talent, a little vibes, passion... and humor! :o)
Enjoy!

Hey everyone, just sharing that my new Album "Little Green Men" is now available! A quartet with piano, bass, drums, vibes featuring a few science fiction melodies and some jazz standards....

Hello there my dear workshoppers.
I have problems with my damperpad bar, and I've noticed there are some real pros here when it comes to the manufacturing and handy-work side of things, so I'll give this a shot.
I bought a M55G 2 years ago…
Playing beautiful 3 and 4 mallet chordal rolls is a goal all vibes and marimba players should work toward. Yes, vibes players mostly use the pedal to sustain notes, but sometimes using a roll is better. Here is a simple, easy to learn…
I was checking this out. I dig this guys hands. They seem pretty fluid to me. He's improvising the piece and I like his melodies also. he studies at Peabody under ??? Van Sice a great percussionist and teacher.
Jimmy White spent the week as an intern for vibesworkshop.com. Wednesday he came to Philly from Ohio to spend the day with me and see what goes on at VW as well as try to do some lessons. Here is Jimmie's lesson on Stick Dropping.
Hey all. I'm on my way to New Orleans for the week-end to help out with auditions at the Thelonious Monk Institute, so most likely I won't be hanging out much here at the VW. I'll leave you with a Red Norvo story.
This took place at…
I was watching this video and thinking about ALL the different types of sets Gary has played on. I'm sure he wouldn't carry his everywhere.
I was wondering what he had to go up against sometimes?
I know our school lent him a Musser that…
Hi Gary,
Do you know if the book that you wrote, "A Musician's Guide to the Road" is still available? It's an excellent book and valuable reading for vibists and musicians in general in learning how to deal with travelling and being on the…
Hi All,
I've tried to contact Beiner Bags to get some info on the M55 cases, but haven't got any response. The only contact info I can find is a submit-a-question webpage (http://www.beinerbags.com/contact.php) -- I did that a week+ ago…
Hey everyone,
Quick question... does anyone know where to buy the paint Musser uses for its resonators, pedals... and for the sake of the discussion, any other parts on the vibe.
It would be nice to be able to repaint, for example, one…
Hey Guys, I set up my mics and recorded this quick lesson on how I might approach Blue Bossa.
I breeze over some things but I hope you get something out of it, and if you have ANY questions don't hesitate to ask and i'll try and explain…
I recorded this cut in 2006 at the University of Tennessee during my recital for the Master's of Music degree. Featuring Justin Haynes (p), Josh Marcum (b), Deric Dickens (d) Tracy Ozier (v) and Yours Truly (vib). I got the idea for this…
