This clip sounds like a Balaphone to me. Is it? Or is it a Marimba?

- Song Title
- Band
- Percussionist

Hey guys Last night I went to dizzys club in new york and saw joe locke perform and it was really amazing! Joe has such a beautiful sound and approach to the vibes and the music. If you are in the area you should go see the show! He is…
I was logged in the site this morning and I was just amazed of how much information is up now. There are so many things to work on that is just overwhelming.

Drop 2 voicings are 'all the rage'. They're being talking about alot these. Check out Dana's lessons on Drop 2 voicings. They're really great and thorough.
that's our next vibe hang. you should play something. work up a short version of green dolphin or whatever!
