Vibraphone

Hey Guys,

This is a video of my mallet duo M-DUR and my good friend singer TOMKO FAHNSTER playing the tune TIME by TOM WAITS.

voc - Tomko Fahnster
vib - Hauke Renken
mar - Patrick Stapleton

Patrick and me played a few gigs this summer, most of the time in churches in the north of Germany, and we had this new song on our setlist. For us it was often the highlight of the evening. So much fun to play!!! :)

What do you think? Thanks for some comments and critics! :)

I haven't read much discussion about Roy Ayers. I found his LP, "Daddy Bug & Friends", converted it to MP3 and been listening to it a lot recently.

He is a stick dropper when not using traditional grip. He likes octaves (me too).

Who needs 4 mallets?! ;-) (wth!!)

What a great month of September we had: presenting the new Malletech vibes ‘Omega’ (if you missed the online presentation hang, check out the vids below). While Tony once more spread the good vibes in Ireland with John Daly and Larry McKenna, our faculty members kept on posting the usual lessons on both Tunes Of The Month (Summertime and Wave for now). And when some of us were reading and finishing Gary’s biography, discussions kept on coming, with comments from the maestro himself. Now don’t miss our next “Special Duke vibe hang” this Sunday www.vibesworkshop.com/node/9502/

Just got an email from Gary Burton, said 'You got to post this!'. So i watched it and he's right. A great Teddy Charles vid!

So what happened to him, when the xylo fell from the top? Anybody know? I should read up on him.

And what a big guy, huh? You would think he wouldn't be that agile!

Hey everyone
I need a vibraphone in Maastricht because I am going to play in a festival there and some other gigs. Can anyone help me on giving me the vibraphone from 26th of october - 2nd of november? If it's not in Maastricht but near to that it is ok. Possible payment is included!

Thanks
Dimitris
