Vibraphone

i am on the site for almost 2 years now and i just want to encourage more people to post.to me it´s a little bit pity that there are so many members but most posts are done only by few memebers. i can for sure understand that many people don´t want to post something, because they think it´s not good enough to be listened by many vibes maniacs or the masters like david friedman or tony miceli. maybe i´m wrong but the main goal about posting is not "fishing for compliments" or try to make the perfect version of something.for sure getting a compliment is nice but that´s not really important.

I was thinking, we have tons of buried lessons and videos here. So if you can, take a second and find your favorite lesson and put 'Diggin' It Up' in the title.

Let's all wish David a very happy birthday! Besides being a great player he's a great teacher and a very giving vibesworkshop cat! I personally love having him hanging around VW!!

Happy birthday David!

Hi Everybody !

Here is Up jumped spring, inspired by Tony and David workshop video.
It's a practice time video to check bad and good things !
All comments are welcome! :)

(Sorry for the sound who turn down at the beginning.. don't know why...)

I found another video from this middle east vibe player. He interests me a lot, because it looks like he's hustling like the rest of us, trying to get gigs. And here he is, who knows where, but far from Philly playing 'New York, New York' on the vibes. And then with 8 mallets.

I wonder why he feels the need to hold the eight mallets, I keep looking for an advantage but don't see it. And I wonder if he's on the site!

I thought it would be interesting to see what people are working on. Anything cool?

I've been messing around with a four mallet version of Moody's Mood for Love one of my most favorite solos!
