This is important stuff.
You know I think the Mallet Station might be a decent entry level controller, however as SOON as you get serious, It will not even hang a little bit with the MalletaKat, that's my take so far.
But as an entry…
At one of the weekly vibe hangs I demonstrated my MIDI Vibes. Becky was curious about using an Arpeggiator. Mac MainStage 3 has a bunch of Arpeggiator instruments so I decided to try out a couple and do some free improv with them.
Enjoy,…
This is a solo arrangement of I'll Remember of April that I have been working on. I posted it in the group thread, but it kind of got lost in the shuffle, so I am reposting here.
I find it more difficult than other tunes to play solo, so…
Like a lot of folks on here, I've been working on I'll Remember April. Since Tony has issued his usual challenge, here's a practice tape attempting to blow over the tune in 12 keys. I used the iReal Pro accompaniment to give my brain and…
Reading on the vibraphone is not easy. I find it to be very difficult and for me, it is perhaps the most challenging part of playing.
I've spent a ton of energy and time trying to improve my reading. I even wrote the book “Shapes and…
The idea of the MBraces was created WAY back in the 80's when I first started working on my M55 vibraphone for improvements. I discovered (with the use of two cymbal stands) that by placing two braces from near middle of the pedal rail to…
This class is for paid subscribers. If you've been thinking about joining vibesworkshop, here is a good opportunity. You get 3 workshops by 3 great vibes players for roughly 20 dollars.

In an effort to practice soloing over a tune with few chord changes, I limited myself to only certain chord tones every chorus of Impressions until I've added them all.
Here is a "video" that I made for the 2021 Valentines vibe hang.
I am playing a couple of tunes on my MIDI-fied Vibraphone, "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel, and "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc.
Tech: I am using two Arduinos (one for…
(ESP) Bienvenidx a Vibesworkshop.com ! Tuve una gran clase con un alumno mío. Estamos trabajando las posiciones abiertas y cerradas de acordes, además de utilizarlos por toda la escala. Casi siempre sugiero que se trabaje una mano a la vez…
Rest in peace to one of my earliest and most profound inspirations! I attached a clip of one of my earliest performances on vibes (late high school). I played drums and piano long before this so I had harmonic and rhythmic vocabulary…
On an earlier post, I suggested an idea of creating Good Vibes at www.PIPERvibe.com by helping other artists. In my years working as a musician and then as a rescuer serving the population of many different types, I learned a lot about…
Per Tony and Randall Sutin's recommendations I bought two, balanced Earthworks SR 25's (used). They worked great for a while but one of them developed a weird, random static while the other was just fine. I contacted Earthworks and told…
Just Sayin'.
I taught Dennis when he was at the Curtis Institute.
I could not believe how good his ears and his memory were. He could face the other way, I could play some 4 mallet stuff and he would come over and play it back. He was a…
