well david is coming the last 3 days.

but i haven't planned too much else except i'm going to try and have a guest each night and also try and get behn and pinto down for a master class.

on the thursday we'll probably have an open house in the afternoon and a vibe/xylo hang (bob becker is across in the next building, doing xylo stuff)

the workshop is really designed for the 6 days. it's fine and GREAT if you come for a day. if so, i could plan on the thursday or friday when friedman is there.

I do know that we work our asses off for 6 days. Last year these guys were playing all day and all night!

This sounds awesome! Are there still openings? Is there a way to have it count for college credit?

Are you in high school or college?

If college you couldncheck with your college. Otherwise the least I could do is getbsome type of certificate.

I am a high school teacher looking to possibly get some continuing education credits. As a workshop, I think it will count (the certificate would be helpful), but will have to check with admin before registering. Hopefully will work out so I can go! :)

Hey are there still openings for this workshop? If there are I will register for this right now! The Malletech Vibes Congress got cancelled so I'm scrambling for a new workshop!

jbdrums Mon, 04/28/2014 - 11:44

Is this primarily for advanced players or all levels?

tomkane Mon, 04/28/2014 - 17:05

I would imagine you will have a variety of vibes on hand. Do you think that we'd have opportunities to try out different ones, for example, the Malletech Omega and Love vibes?

I've stumbled across a few different links for this workshop, and it looks like there is at least one other page about it on the site. The other one has a different guest artist list and a different description. Just wondering, which one is the most up-to-date?
