To celebrate the succes of the introduction of the gigVibe one year ago we now have a special offer, valid until the 1st of July 2011.

You get the 3.0 octave model with our sensational blue bars, including HDS treatment, for only € 4600.

With many gigVibes sold all over the world we know this instrument is a hit in the world of tuned percussion.

vanderPlas Baileo is the only manufacturer that applies exact triple tuning of our bars.
This offers a comfortable base for others (flutes, violins, etc) to intone there instrument while performing.

Launching the carbonVibe at the Frankfurt Musikmesse was a great succes!

Everyone with a serious interest in tuned percussion was amazed by not only the looks but also the sound of the world's first carbonVibe, made by vanderPlas Baileo.

The protoype saw the light after months of hard work by Nico van der Plas and his team.

The most beautiful Weather Report Tune (IMHO)

Hi everyone,

Here's some tips for working on fast tempos. Note that I'm only using the A section of the standard "Lover" in the examples. Enjoy!

I was inspired by the different versions of Tony, John and Ed playing "it might as well be spring".
So I gave it a try and here is my take on it.

Here's a continuation to the first "Cop This Lick". It's a very similar line to the first line, except that the notes for the double sticking change. PDF is attached this time.

Hi everyone, I'm attaching a pdf hand out I used recently for a clinic. In it I go through an example of how one might use a combination of Cells and Upper Structure Triads to create tension and release for playing melodic lines and phrases through your improvisations!

If there are any questions please do not hesitate to ask!

Enjoy!
