If you haven't heard this. Set aside one hour and just get into it.
AND WEAR HEADPHONES AND/OR PLAY IT ON GOOD SPEAKERS.
I think it's a masterpiece. I am a Steve Reich fan.
I saw him in Buenos Aires in their Opera house that looks like a baseball stadium. 7 levels and it was sold out! It was an incredible concert.
Listen and let it happen with no expectations.
IMHO
Getting back on the solo vibes arranging grind (lessons on that coming soon). I'm also listening back and hearing how I slowed down on this one! Those block chords'll get you.
6 + 4 African Bell Perspectives
This video explores a contemporary treatment of a bell pattern from the country of Benin in West Africa. These drumset examples are adapted to playing the balafon, but can be applied to any instrument. The 2-bar pattern in 12/8 is built with the first bar in a “6” feel and the second in “4.” The alternation of 6 and 4 creates a profound shift in perspective as it is played by the musician and heard by the listener.

Hey everyone,
Just sharing another clip from my recent performances.
Serious work of a serbian vibist (drummer and composer too) and his band. The gain is a little bit low, but i think it's worth to add more volume and enjoy his music.
# Etude 7 - David Friedman - Dampening and Pedaling
Hola a todos, les dejo mi humilde versión de este hermoso estudio del gran David.
Nuevamente continuo con la idea de profudizar en el uso de apagadores como el hand Dampening y el Pivot Dampening, entre otros. La razón de la utilización de estas técnicas es primero y principal para continuar el desarrollo de las mismas y dominarlas cada vez con mas naturalidad.
Por otro lado, creo que estos apagadores permiten que no se "cruzen" tanto las manos y podamos estar siempre mejor ubicados, y con mayor control del instrumento.
After the holiday vibe hang last Sunday, I decided to learn Barry K's arrangement of "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney.
Does anyone have any favorite Roy Ayers songs?
The World Vibes Congress is Jan. 2nd-3rd, 2021, and the Vibe Hang Afterparty (5:30 PM EST on Jan. 3rd) will begin by inducting Roy Ayers into the vibe hall of fame. Come join the hang. It's free and open to anyone, as are the rest of the Congress events.
To get the word out for the hang and the WVC in general, a few of us are planning to learn some Roy Ayers tunes and post them on social media. So let's start the hype train here.
Hola a todos! Les presento mi version de Te para tres, una canción muy conocida acá en Argentina de Gustavo Cerati, cantautor solista y de SodaStereo. El videoclip es de idea propia y de Polilla audiovisual. Deja en los comentarios lo que te parece! Gracias! Que tengan unas muy felices fiestas.
