I just got off the phone with Terry Gibbs and we had a GREAT talk. He's such a hip guy.

I thought I'd pass along a compliment. Terry said he loves the site and he especially loves all the knowledgeable vibe players on the site. He said he thought our discussions and comments were very intelligent.

I'd have to agree with that. A lot of you cats are pretty wise!!!

I ordered his book and am excited to read it and maybe discuss it here on the site!

I've posted several of these videos. What a great team Terry and Buddy make! They swing so hard. Check out this ballad.

On fire. This is so swinging I'm dying!! Check this out! What a team, Terry and Buddy.

A great video with Terry and Buddy. Check out Terry's solo! Smokin'!!!

Isn't Adrian the real first vibe player? Check this out. I wonder how old it is? And he's playing with 4 mallets and seems to be pretty good at it.

This is a great video!

this is the last track of our demo from "three of a kind"

Rafael Meinhart is a student of David Friedman's. He wanted to work on technical things and asked what he should practice. David said write your own studies. So Rafael did. Check this one out. It's great!

I just did a simple lesson on this and here's this cat taking it to the extreme.
