A beautiful short excerpt of Joe Locke playing Polkados and Moonbeams on an Omega with the Malletech pick up system!
Beautiful playing!
Morning practice time playing the classic song "Desafinado" written by the great Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim.
I'm playing malletkat with some fusion shredders at 55 Bar in Manhattan tonight if anyone is in the area. Group lead by Felix Pastorius.
Namaste.
I'm thinking of all this stuff because the site has become very active. Which is GREAT!
I don't like the musser motor. I don't like disc's inside the bar. But that's not the point I guess.
I've been playing with the Omega wings and using the motor. Mainly on gigs with bass and drums. It really makes me play very differently. Like Milt said, the vibes are like a voice. I think he's talking about the tremolo.
If I play with bass and vibes, or just vibes, then I don't like the motor in any capacity. It interferes with the sound.
Did you know that patent ran out last month? I didn't.

Hi guys!
Here my first post!
I want all you to enjoy!
Thanks,

Our discussion of cord for vibes started to branch off in soft vs. hard mallets.
So I thought I'd open a discussion on that :-).
I don't want to say too much about it but I'll start off with this.
I'm not innocent here, btw.
YOUR TURN
Great standard written in 1947 with lyrics by Sammy Cahn and music by Jule Styne. Many great versions of this song by vocalists and instrumentalists. Two of my favorite are from Chet Baker and Keith Jarrett.
