Hi everyone,
Last year I heard about Pearl's new MalletStation and was considering getting one but wanted to see reviews from early buyers first. The release date kept getting pushed back, back, back, and I still don't see any reviews…
So, in this chapter of mic wars, there is a clear winner and it is not the mics or the signal path. It is the Omega vibraphone. Tony brought his over to my place and we recorded a couple of short passes so I could work out some kinks in…

Hi vibes friend today i'd like to talk about my favorite scales for plaing over Dom 7th chords. I'm not a big fan of modes and scales in general because I tend to think about the tonal area when playing a song (especially simple…

I've been working on this tune with different time feels since I've been preparing for a tour and CD with the wonderful Czech singer, Martina Bartova. I'm posting a very slow, kind of dreamy version with lots of space. I've recorded…
I quickly made a pdf harmonizing some scales. Spend some time on this, as this will help a lot I think.

I did two duos, but I'm not happy with the other one. I'll post this one for now.
Also, I didn't post the second part.…
