Rivets loosen and get noisy. The omega uses stainless steel nuts and bolts. It's so much quieter.
This is a musser. I like playing mussers and am glad to play them when I travel, but they make noise.
Team Omega said to Malletech, that that can't happen to the Omega. So there are no rivets on malletech instruments.
Before you buy a new instrument ask if they use rivets.

hey y'all,
If you haven't heard about this book, check this out.
There is a lineage of books here, a tree.
It all starts with Zen and Art or Archery, goes to 'The Inner Game of Tennis' (great great book to read)
Goes to, 'Zen and Art or Motorcycle Maintenance'
'Effortless Mastery' I think comes from this tree of books. They are all great and Kenny's book is great.
I sometimes cop Balafon patterns to work on. I love listening to Balafon players and checking out their independence.
Check out this video:
In the beginning somewhere he plays this pattern. I don't take them down stricktly, because they vary them.
smokin!!!!!!!
I am amazed by Balifon players. I'm amazed how people play solo on different instruments. Here's a guy playing 2 mallets and singing and play melody and harmony.
I think in many ways simplicity is the way to achieve this. Also remembering that each not helps provide time and the groove.
What do you think?
Every now and then, we talk about the use of vibes outside the context of jazz.
I just became aware yesterday that this track, which includes the first recorded tracks I did with Miss Magnolia (my Deagan Imperial), was released a few years ago. They had asked for a “vintage sound”, so my thought was to go with her, some old Albright mallets, and a pair of tube based mics.
I want to do more of this. :)
