The 15 Minute Rule

You guys know about the 15 min. rule. I keep a timer with me, in fact I keep it on my desk. When my schedule is absolutely nuts, I figure out 15 min. here and there or I can practice. Since it's only 15 min. is not that big of a deal. A block out a couple times turn on the timer on and focus and practice for the 15 min. I find this could really help on those crazy days where you seem to have no time to practice all. I just thought I would pass along to you guys.

Adrian Rollini - First 4-mallet player?

Hi folks,

Just saw this video, and was wondering if perhaps Adrian Rollini was the first documented 4-mallet vibist? I was surprised by his technique. He was a multi-instrumentalist who also played sax, but I can't think of anyone else playing 4 mallets like this as far back as the '30s and '40s.

Obviously, they are playing along with a pre-recorded track. But you gotta love the tubular bells solo!!
