One of my all time favorite piece by one of my favorite performer!!

[@W11BO1]

The way that F- add 9 rounds off the phrase at 0:33 makes my heart flutter every time... Same with how dynamically soft the final part of the piece is. Such an inspiring and beautiful piece.

[@yuck871]

I played this at a concert and while I was waiting for my turn, I forgot how to enter a specific part in the piece. I watched your video upside down as if I were playing it and remembered again, the concert went great! You saved me, thank you so much!

[@OdieDrums]

That's fantastic! I'm so happy it was helpful to you!!

[@fuzzylightning]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@unibell_lp5115]

I'm flashed! Never heard such a well played blues!

[@PhotonCommander]

That was amazing. Definitely on my list to buy.

[@eryko2338]

amazing skills and feeling

[@pablo.ochoa.s]

Fenomenal!

[@c_farther5208]

Very talented, really enjoyed your vid.

[@_jamieknowles_]

just found out I had the music for this. tried it a few months ago and it was too hard, but this inspired me to work on it again

[@tobiassmith7156]

TheKnowlesy56 it's not really that hard if you break it into pieces. played this on my exam. and that was only after playing for 2 years.

Fantastic

So enjoyable..

[@donaldp.nutrient8222]

Fabulous. Got the sheet music for this and I'm working on it! I'd love to see this played from 'your' perspective if possible - so I can see your mallet positions. I'm turning the screen upside down by my vibraphone at the moment! You play this piece beautifully and with mastery. Thank you.

[@rongma5887]

Hello, I want to ask where can you get the sheet music?

Fantástico.

[@kimjustus4438]

what mallets are you using?

[@NinoErrera]

Nice job! Which mallet are you using?

[@OdieDrums]

They were some prototypes, but the closest to them would be the Vic Firth Contemporary Series. Three M241's and one M240. Hope that helps!

[@NinoErrera]

@@OdieDrums are they durable? Thank you by the way :)

[@OdieDrums]

@@NinoErrera very durable. I've had my set for about 10 years, still going strong

Great performance! Enjoy another interpretation of «Blues for Gilbert» by Ling Sun: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5eqiImQhsulo5o

[@talbotvanman]

Some great vibes here on KZbin but so little use of vibrato nowadays am I old fashioned ? One of my favourite players after many years is still Dave Pike using quite a fast vib in Pikes Peak for example. I am not comfortable playing without vib as I think it enhances the sound. Personal taste I suppose !

[@austinmortiere4018]

Honestly I love the sound of vibrato on vibes, but I think it's a little overbearing when it's constant. It may be a stretch, but I'd kind of like to see vibraphones made with a second, smaller pedal to control vibrato speed while playing...that'd make it a lot more dynamic and useful, in my opinion!

[@Mr.LenardDrums]

Malletech created a vibraphone (Love Vibes, I believe) that has a pedal that does just that. They got rid of the pulsar fans and put in a shutter. This also allows for dynamic changes, too. It takes a bit of practice at first to get the hang of it, but it's a pretty cool concept.

No me gusta!!! Siento que es muy seca, y no tan expresiva como debería ser. Pero sin embargo, no es que este mal ejecutada. (Sólo una opinión). Aún así, buen trabajo.

[@bencarter8324]

you are crazy!!!! es excelente

[@cesarvallejovevo4025]

@@bencarter8324 ¿La has escuchado en vivo, o al menos has leído la partitura?

[@louiskennedy5635]

Don't try to change a great music into something much less beautiful.

[@davidvladovsky1962]

do u even understood what did u wrote? lmfao bunch of words KEK

[@marklui426]

what mallets are you using?

[@OdieDrums]

Vic Firth M187's (the mallets were blue because they were prototypes, now they come only in black, but sound exactly the same)
