Kind of incredible what kind of talent exists in every pocket on the globe now.
I just stumbled upon this. The guy gets into it, that's for sure.
I've been thinking about various threads and the idea of entertainment. I'm not a stick twirler. Nor is this guy, but if entertainment is part of the gig, and drummers can be entertainers as much as anything else, there must be places for all the guys who do the crazy stuff, and do it without negative comments from those more ... stabilized behind the kit.
Didn't Steve Smith say, in his hi-hat routine, "We'll do anything for applause." Tongue-in-cheek, to be sure, but for some players all the stick tricks and antics and extrovert movements are just part of the "show."
