Solid work there.

Nate Smith is an absolute MONSTER pocket drummer. After watching clips of him on Youtube, my playing--hi hat technique on 16th-note grooves-- c o m p l e t e l y changed. When I saw what it was possible to do with each hand on a fundamental groove (hands rooted to hats and snare, all single-hand parts) it gave me the courage to reach for it.

eta: similarly, I recently saw a clip (can't find it at the moment) of a 20-something year old, baby Tony Williams playing with Miles Davis in the 60s, and in this one moment, he reaches his right hand to the rack tom and plays a single-handed figure-- kind of, "riding" on the tom? I think about it all the time, and now there's another thing I "believe" my hand can do. I never would have thought of it except for SEEING him do it.

I feel the same way about bassist Joe Dart, except after seeing him play it, I just say, oh, no, I might be able to play that, but it would take about three straight weeks of practice :D

You’ve heard of Mannheim Steamroller, well this is Mongolian steamroller...

Thank God...It wasn't Little Drummer Boy.[/closeone]

Arban I'd say the best one
Came from Tupelo, Mississippi
I'll tell you now that grown men cry
And Mongol girls are pretty

T'ain't no Bill Withers...

...got it's own kinda cool, tho.

I only discovered this guy a couple weeks ago. This boy is a pickin' fool.

It's all good but if you ain't a big fan of bluegrass instrumentals, skip to 3:46, good song:



That man'lin player ain't too shabby, either.

And he can play reglar music, too:

That yodeling girl is still at it!

With a holiday adaptation even!!

Good is so subjective... here's a music fan...

The fan "blade" looks like it's a disk with magnets on it or something like that. Does he have an electric guitar pickup in his hand?

I couldn't find anything about the Fan, bot I found this which might lead some where.
