Originally Posted By Inspector 57 Seriously, X... WOW! And that's coming from a guy who knows nothing about percussion and who dreads the inevitable drum solo at rock concerts. Even *I* can tell that you're (both) very talented! And even I enjoyed it! I kept marvelling at the apparent ease with which you both played. It was as if the actual playing were "no big deal" to you. And, clearly, the playing was effortless enough that you were able to be engaging with the audience. VERY nice stage presence! If this is what you and Zak put together with virtually no notice, I can't wait to see what act the two of you put together with some planning! Thanks for sharing, X!
Originally Posted By Mr X Thanks.

Speaking of THAT, it was a tad annoying because we did actually play a LOT faster at the end when we worked it up, but because of the nature of the show (not a lot of great percussionists) we had to tone it down a lot so as not to upstage the rest of the show.

Originally Posted By friendofdd Very well done, Mr X. I've shared it with my grandson who aspires to play percussion. My nephew is career US Air Force. He is lead percussionist for one of their west coast bands and also front man for their gigs all round the country. I know a lot of discipline and practice is involved in being so good. You Tock!

By the way, Zak emailed me and said "DUDE...we're getting all kinds of comments and we got 6 honors from YouTube". Thanks LP! (I didn't mention it to him lol)
