Hey guys, I jus ran across a post by Tony called Think Like a Drummer. Great post that I think has varying views and open for discussion. I entered Berklee way back as a drummer (was a Buddy Rich fanatic) and was lucky enough to study with the great Alan Dawson. I saw Gary play with the Mike Gibbs big band at a school concert. Had never seen the vibes before. Gary did a short solo on Keith Jarrett's Grow Your Own and that was one of those "wow" moments for me. Took up vibes starting with a beginning mallet class with Gary. Talk about being fortunate.

Sorry to get all cheezy, but there are some players on this site doing cool stuff.
There are some really talented players here!

I'm amazed because I've seen some of these guys for almost 5 years now. I've seen the progress and what can happen if you just pick up the sticks and practice on the instrument.

I'm truly inspired tonight. Right on guys!
