Drum Percussion

I was fixing up one of the rooms in my house to be a dedicated room for drumming. As I started building the sound baffles to help control the sound, I realized that this would be a great "Quick Tip" video to share with others. So, I started recording and explaining as I went. I spent the day putting this together. It's only my second video like this and I learned a ton about editing and camera placement (I learn from mistakes seen here). Regardless of the clamp above my head, the poor editing and camera work, I hope it's useful. It was definitely a great practice video.

All consumer video recorders, or camcorders, produce good to excellent video, but usually terrible audio. I have an inexpensive Kodak Zi8 camera, which has an external mic-in port. I can get sort of ok audio when I use a good condenser mic plugged into the camera, but I've been hunting for an inexpensive way to improve that even more.

Hello again,

i just finished another Video of M-Dur.
This is one of our "evergreens". We arranged it in the summer of 2010 i think and we play it in every concert i guess. Always the last tune before the encores. ;)
I love to play it! It's quit hard to don't miss a note in the last part, but it's a lot of fun!! ;)

I hope you like it as well.

Hey Everyone,

But in the 1th place :
Hey Gary,

I have seen you perform in France this year,(Coutance Jazz), and I've been following the pictures you post of your tour.

My impression is, that the kind of places where you play, are totally different in Europe then in the states.

I get the feeling in Europe you (but also other artists) play more in concerthalls, places which are designed to perform on a stage, for a huge crowd.
While in the states it looks more like clubs, or more specific places.

I get the same impression with, for example, John Zorn.

Hey vibes peoples:

Here's a little trio jam I did a while back on my Malletkat Rig. Tune is entitled "Baby Smacker"

Hi All-

I've started a new band that explores Brazilian 'choro' tunes (pre-samba music somewhat akin to ragtime/New Orleans jazz) through the lenses of creative Brooklyn musicians who play a myriad of styles. This first video is my arrangement of 'Um a Zero,' an iconic tune of Pixinguiha's, which we infuse with a bit of 'downtown' energy and exploration.

another piece from this concert originally written by the allman brothers, for those of you who are more into straight rock :)
