marimba book

I've decided I want to be a more well rounded percussionist so I decided I wanted to get more into every percussion instrument. I chose to start with marimba. My old instructor suggested Fundamental Method for Mallets, I was wondering what you guys thought I should get? My problem with the Fundamental Method book is it seems to be for marimba, vibes, bells, xylophone, and chimes. Marimba, bells, and xylophone are all okay, but I have no way of getting a hold of chimes or vibes. I guess I"m looking for a good marimba focused book that teaches 2 mallet and 4 mallet. Is there anything of that kind?

You should also take a look into purchasing "Mark Wessels' Fresh Approach to Mallet Percussion" book. It's very descriptive and doubles as a personal workbook to track your progress. It's relatively cheap as well! Check it out yourself right here: http://store.mwpublications.com/merchant...gory_Code=FATMP

Fundamental Method for Mallets by Mitch Peters
I've played out of Mitchell Peter's and Nancy Zeltsman's books. They're both pretty good. Mitchell Peter's takes it a little slower though, I'd recomend that of the two if you're very new to mallets. Half of Mitchell Peter's book is centered around two mallet work too, so it's definitely a good place to start if you're new. If you're just trying to get familiar with mallets the Nancy Zeltsman's book might be better for you.
