Good point about Santana.

For their first few albums, Guster had a percussionist and not a drummer. He used his hands to "hit" bongos, timbales, cymbals, etc. They eventually were joined by a drummer.

I love vibes. I had one for a while. I didn't learn how to play it the normal way. Mostly, I used them like an over-sized glockenspiel or a celest. Mostly to accent the music.
