@jazzvibe Accordion guy = Uwe Steger. Check out "It don't Mean A Thing" by him. It starts slow but give it a chance. the guy can definitely make the thing dance!
This is amazing! I've never played a vibraphone but I play the flute and I think that I probably never do what your doing! All I have to say is that you are awesome and that you are a great role model to all musicians, even people that aren't percussionists!
YOU'RE AMAZING DUDE!!! I'M A PERCUSSIONIST SO I KNOW HOW HARD THAT FREAKIN IS!! BUT IVE NEVER PLAYED A VIBRAPHONE BEFORE!!! IVE ONLY PLAYED BELL SET XYLOPHONE AND MARIMBA
We jam out in Albion every other Friday night ... C'mon up next time your on vacation, we'll get you some real lobster and have a jam fest of a friday night ... we would work right around your stuff .... I'll have the bass player and drummer learn your bass line and drumming! - L8terz Kit Kat! - Darrin
Don't you ever say 'pretend' to be a rock guitarist again, your doin' it and I would put you in the ranks of Halen, and Joe Satriani ... I found you a little over a year ago when searching for Vince Guarldi - I have an accoustic (home arrangement) of Christmas time is here on my youtube page. I've playing electric for twenty years and can't shred like you can on those kats man! (well maybe a LITTLE shredding after a warm up and a beer! - I like playing funk & Jazz and you'd blend right in.
@darrincates hey man. that's nice! thanks for the encouragement. i'll check out your christmas tune. i love that tune!! btw - let me know if you're ever in philly!
You are a rock GOD! - I found this video a long time ago, loved it, lost it, and just found it again today after over a year thanks to subscrition updates! Upbeat, forward motion, and makes me want to dance .... . Do you want to come jam with my rock trio band in Maine?
@darrincates i'd be nervous to play with a real rock band. but maybe if i'm in maine, who knows!!!! regardless the malletKat is really cool! and i get to not only be a vibe player but i can pretend to be a rock guitarist! i love it!
Very Cool!! Gotta Check out the New You Tube Video: THE WORLDS GREATEST VIBRAPHONE PLAYER - VICTOR FELDMAN. No wonder Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers and Elton John to name just a few had Victor Feldman enhance their recordings.
I own the malletKat mainly because of this video. I saw this video last year, and bought my own malletKat, to do things like this. I wish I was as good a vibe player as you. You are a genius man. Thank you so much.
@RebelliousToast yo man! i'm glad you bought a mallet kat. i wish i was a genius but i'm not. just practice hard and you'll be kicking ass on the mallet kat soon enough!!!! it is a great instrument, huh? let me know when you post a video up here!!!
@jazzvibe where could i get a mallet cat like that? i would love to have something that i can use to practice at my house, but a marimba might be a bit too big for that haha.
@holyhell937 yeah i'm not a composer, but i write tunes that i play. look on my youtube page for 'song for meg'. i wrote that. much different than this piece. and check out vibesworkshop d o t c o m. you'll love it if you're into vibes. even the free part is totally cool.
@jazzvibe i was just curious because i want to play a vibe solo or maybe a duet for something at my school and i really like your style. it would be really cool if you could write one for me
@holyhell937 well if you subscribed to the vibe site, there are etudes up there already. when you subscribe to the site (costs a few bucks) all the lessons are there for you and i have etudes that students all over the world practice and play in recitals.
Do you even know who you are commenting about? Go ahead and google Tony Miceli. He could play circles around you and most any other mallet players. Don't make ignorant comments if you don't know what you're talking about. And if I'm wrong, post a vid showing your skills. I'd love to see your Yellow After the Rain mastery.
Burton is an asshole anyhow - gripping the mallets any style you want, it doesn't matter - just like the difference guitar players grip their picks. keep chopping dude - a breath of new life!
well you shouldn't say that about gary. he's definitely NOT and asshole. he's actually a pretty cool and helpful guy.... and an pretty amazing musician. any way i glad you dug the vid. it was hard to make!! you have a kat?? you a mallet player?
Musser is still the best....this dude sounds like he is tuning up his guitar. That is not what a marimba or vibe sounds like. Wonder if he knows how to read music. Couldnt even watch is all the way through...annoying!! Marimba is so beautiful as is vibes!
yeah i know how to read music. and there are a lot of great instruments out there now. playing on a vanderPlas this weekend in the Netherlands. It's a beautiful instrument. and the mallet kat is really cool also. IMHO
Doesn't that fuck with your range? Seems like it would be hard to keep octave position, or one handed roll. I guess if thats how you learned, you're prolly good at it.
good eyes! there's a whole story behind that. way back in the day, i went and saw gary burton play. i was pretty high (back then) and that's how i thought he was playing... so that's how i play. victor feldman plays like that also. i dig it. you use the burton grip??
@jazzvibe well, i've applied to Laurier, Waterloo and Toronto (in ontario, i'm not sure where you're from), but i'm pretty sure i'll take a year off, and figure out a little better what i wanna do.
After I was blown away by your Vince Guaraldi vid, and now I watched this one ... I've never seen or heard anything like that before in my life .. amazing talent ... when are we drinking beers together?
Does anyone know where I can purchase one of these and make payments on it? I am a college student and think this would be great for my apt. vs. a full sized marimba but don't think I can muster the 2k+ at once, you know, bills and what not.
Great jazz and playing. You named the video perfectly. I really enjoy this video and have watched it numerous times. If there was one thing I could suggest it would be can the canned crowd noise in the background. Also, I would like to know if you have any CDs available? I always liked the vibes but this Mallet Kat takes things to another dimension.
Is this the same guy who plays the rock accordion???

I'm not a mallet player, but my friend Chuck plays a Musser set in our group, like yours in your other video.
I have always like mallet players such as yourself - the tones are killer.
Our tag line is "FEEL THE VIBE"
We meet Gary back in the 80's at Berkley
I'm sorry if I upset you, he is a genius at
what he does.... he just came across like
that - instructors can be harse especially if
you create clams! LOL!
