This week's vibe Zoom coffeehouse "lesson of the week" was inspired by the jokesters of yesterday's vibe talk and by Mike Balter.

Playing lines over “Stella By Starlight” with the inside mallets. Using an open spread and “digging in” with an up and down motion via the use of the fulcrum as with a two mallet player or drummer. For more information on the fulcrum grip…
This one took like a million takes. I've been recording it every weekend for the past month and I think I finally have one that sounds okay! Here is #20 of Friedman's book.
I live in Amsterdam and living in Amsterdam means that you can't really practice at home. At least not where I practice and especially not if you also play drums and live with your girlfriend who doesn't have a dayjob like me(musician).
So…
Look out for Chien Chien! I think she is coming up fast in the jazz world and the vibe world.
Here is a track with her and her band. It's a killer band;
Vibraphone: Chien Chien Lu
Piano: Shedrick Mitchell
Bass: Richie Goods
Drums:…
I've been playing through a bunch of standards improvising solo vibes arrangements everyday recently, and realized I might as well record it. Although lockdown sucked in a lot of ways, it has REALLY gotten my solo playing together. Before…

I’ve always just kind of done two mallet stuff on the malletkat. I’m trying four mallets but collisions are occurring. Can anyone recommend a smaller headed mallet that they use on the malletkat please.
'Whisper Magic' is a solo vibraphone piece that was composed a few years back and premiered at a duo concert with pianist Sergio Salvatore at New York's Carnegie Hall. Now I got the opportunity to work on a video for it and hope you enjoy…
Comping for myself with the left hand is tough. I was trying to set a 120 bpm pace and couldn't get past 105 without running past brain speed and accumulating glitches.
Hi all,
I want to get some more information about this vibraphone. A local drummer and vibes player has passed away here and his son wants to sell this vibraphone.
Does anybody know the rough age of it and have any idea about its value?…
This is a mallet dampening etude I wrote for the 2nd online vibes boot camp. This is the first time I ever used mallet dampening, so I tried to use it in as many ways as I could. Hope you all enjoy!

John Keene I always say is our local historian.
He mentioned a vibe player I never heard about before.
So if John Mentions him, I always check him out.
He is great!
Hi Vibes Workshop! It's been a while since I've posted so I thought I would share this John Coltrane solo I have been working on with you all. I attached a pdf if anyone is interested in checking it out - I think there are so many…
Let's all wish Barryk a happy birthday. Besides being the first subscriber on the site Barryk is one of the nicest guys you could every meet! And he's a hard worker and loves practicing and playing the vibes!
Here's a great warm up exercise and a great exercise for your hands and your mind.
You play all the modes of a Major Scale all in a row, that is continuously.
Here's a mide file of what it sounds like:
You should get the idea. The scales…
This reminds me how cool this song is. Lots of high school kids play it.
Just like all the wedding bands back in the day playing a crappy version of Girl From Ipanema. You hate and then you hear the original and go, wow it's so beautiful…
"Never Never Land" from Peter Pan - Fun exploring on this great song with music by Jule Styne and lyrics from Betty Comden and Adolph Green. Such a hip song with wonderful chord changes and a memorable melody and lyrics.
HI Guys,
Recently got hold of a beautiful M55G and have a few gigs coming up, outside on grass. As the musser has a wooden frame at the top are there any issues with it getting hot (in the sun) or damp from the grass affecting it?
