Second that. 16 "instruments" don't automatically make up the highly skilled musician from the OP's link at all. Even the audio quality itself can't compare.
Not to discount this guy's accomplishments or anything, but I've seen multiple instruments being used by the same person to play a song, so while it was definitely an amazing video, here's what I was talking about =X

Watching him play the same song on the keyboard/electric piano, shakers, castanets, triangle, drums, bass, electric guitar, violin, harmonica, clarinet, tamborine made me go "wow" more than the video by OP did. Hard to compare though, but imo the guy in the link above has my respect more than the guy in the OP's video did.
Just my 2 cents...
That was sick. I would've commented about his hand-technique, but his amazing cross-instrument skills completely floored me.
You mean to say that it was good or bad? Because his hands looked pretty good to me!
His drumming hand-technique was a bit weird, as he choked the fulcrum. Other than that, it was perfect!
Seriously? He choked the fulcrum? Really?
What I meant to say was that he held the stick with his index and thumb without having the other fingers touch the stick, when he was playing doubles. Looked a bit flimsy. I just thought it looked weird..

If he can play like THAT

That's what I meant, too.mrchattr said:That's a really cool video, and he sounds fantastic. I actually agree with Thaard about his hand technique, though. He actually does not hold the sticks "properly." Of course, with that said, a lot of drummers learn the "right" technique and then adapt it to the way they play...most of you would laugh at my left hand traditional grip, but it works for me and that's all that matters.
Dude is just a great player.
Pec, I reckon you could make a good one man band - a rock solid drummer and hot guitarist (and by inference at least a competent bass player but don't tell any bassists that - haha).
...for some reason nobody needs bassists, and everyone needs drummers!
