I'd like to begin a discussion about feet. Your feet and how you deal with them when you're playing. Vibes players may be at risk for foot and back problems because we are often standing on one foot with the other on the pedal. The weight…
Launching the carbonVibe at the Frankfurt Musikmesse was a great succes!
Everyone with a serious interest in tuned percussion was amazed by not only the looks but also the sound of the world's first carbonVibe, made by vanderPlas Baileo.…
I notice that there are players who use the Burton Grip and use the 2 inside mallets for their lines. I always thought that was weird for a couple of reasons, the main one being that I have a feeling if the right inside mallet was better…

I've been practicing Little B's Poem today. I'm reminded on how important it is to work on solo versions of the tune. EVEN if you never get completely to the end, where it's a real solo tune you can play. BUT you get close.

Hi Everyone !
Here is Up jumped spring I played last week for my jazz vibes exam in university of Sherbrooke (Qc).
it was very stressful to be rate, but... it's a challenge :)
Hey guys,
This is a GREAT exercise for writing, improvising, and tune learning. The idea is to write a new melody over the chord changes to an old standard tune. You can alter the harmony a little bit here and there to fit your new melody…
Ok here's my version of 'It Might As Well Be Spring'. I've included an image from my Itunes song list. You can see how many versions I still have. I probably threw out just as many. I studied the $($% out of that tune. It was so inspiring…

Ok, I know I come up with lots of ideas, and some don't make it. But heres another one.
I think I'm going to try and do office hours, like we do in college. Maybe pick a night and do a few 45 minute sessions with anyone that needs help…
Here's a continuation to the first "Cop This Lick". It's a very similar line to the first line, except that the notes for the double sticking change. PDF is attached this time.

The piece is still highly improv based but I've started to notate it.
Hey Vibes workshop!
Just wanted to apologize for being out for a while and letting some of the books content back up. With everything from college auditions, internships and being in a world class indoor drumline that rehearsed all weekend…
Hi everyone, I'm attaching a pdf hand out I used recently for a clinic. In it I go through an example of how one might use a combination of Cells and Upper Structure Triads to create tension and release for playing melodic lines and…
