here are 2 simple waltzes for members to have a look at and maybe post their version, just be careful with the coda on the first one its a bit tricky, the second one is pretty straight forward, enjoy.

PS. maybe Tony might consider giving a set of mallets to the first person to post any of the tunes.

Here's a question: What scales would you put to these chords?

I thought this was a pretty good performance of etude 26. Let's see what David thinks!

Here's a tambourine that I made over the summer.

All of the parts added to this $20 tambourine are from a coal mine that I worked at.

Hope you like :)

Hello everyone,

Here's a recent article on chord scale theory. Let me know if there are any questions.

Here's a chord study on the days of wine and roses.

i've asked behn to do one of these also. Let's see if he has time.

This is a duo I have with another student of David, Julius Heise.
He is playing marimba and me on vibes. A kind of minimal piece of mine called Irrlicht.

Check out David's comping here. I really felt like he left me plenty of space to do my thing!

The other thing I like is doing a vibe duet with 2 different model instruments. When you do a vibe duet with the same model instrument it sounds like one person playing with 8 mallets! But this way I think it sounds like 2 people playing.
