I got this link on FB from Canadian vibist Robert Pelletier and it reminded me so much of Joe Porter's tambourine. Sorry explanations are in French as it's from a musical program in France with aim of making accessible and fun to all classical and jazz music.

The image/sound sync is not good either, but maybe the images speak enough by themselves and show the instrument functionning quite closely.

- Around 4"30 there's a first demo about the cymbals.
- Around 5"51 Carlo shows how he changes the pitch of the tambourine by unbending the skin.

I play a lot of Bach on my own, but I hardly ever perform it. I decided to put some out there to force myself to really work something up. I am constantly amazed by this music and how every voice is so interesting. Hopefully I did it justice.

Here is a vibe player(Thomas Dobler)who uses several piano licks on vibes.
There are some interesting things happening here I think.

I'm sure the pros will have more insightful comments.

Here is traditional tango very weel played by an authentic argentin player. He is 34 years old, and he plays with a lot of bands in Buenos Aires, some of them new tango (Piazzolla and his musical's sons). Perfect tecnician, and for me the real tango feel (length of the notes, accentuation, lyricism, etc...). He has many albums, and many Youtube videos with this duo.
Hope you enjoy !
