Mallets and Progressive Rock - Lazuli -

A colleague of mine is active in a site for Progressive Rock fans. We finally found a link between both our passions: a PR band with mallet percussions!

Don’t expect the vibes to be a star there. It’s first of all Progressive Rock:

- Guitars rule: bass, acoustic and electric guitar, chapman stick, warr guitar, and an instrument unique in the world: The Leode. That very large handled guitar, created by the player himself, after he had lost the use of his left arm in a road accident.

Brazil Nut

Once in a While

I was playing the C6, Fdim chords (with the various inversions) in Dana's drop 2 lesson. As I was playing, I heard the song, "Once in a While", and thought it might be a good tune to apply the Drop 2 voicing for chord melody.

I would like a little guidance on the application of the lesson. I understand the example of playing the C Maj Bebop scale with the C6 or the diminished chord underneath, but I am not sure about applying chords to an arbitrary melody.

Ed Saindon vibraphone clinic on Saturday, March 28th, 2009

Hello everyone,

I have a vibraphone clinic coming up that I wanted to mention. The clinic will take place on Saturday, March 28th in Ogden, Utah as part of a PAS Day of Percussion hosted by Don Keipp.

The clinic will focus on mallet technique and address the following topics: pedaling, dampening and the fulcrum grip. Time permitting, I’ll also talk about improvisation, comping and solo vibraphone playing.

Here is the contact information:
