The guy does have great finger control and I’m happy to give him his props. He probably tears it up on the Bach and Chopin circuit. Heck, he might even do great things with some of Kieth Emerson’s stuff. I just wish that before he’d started a product demo (presumably for folks that would play “rock and roll”) with the phrase “rock and roll is easy”, someone would have played him Tool’s “10,000 days” or a similar collection of easy “Rock and Roll” drum work.

It’s also kind of a sore spot for me that a lot of the melody players have no problem playing synthed drums from a keyboard, but when you trigger a melodic instrument from a drum head eyebrows are raised and the “Caveman” at the back of the stage has overstepped…

That guy has some serious finger control.

But in all seriousness… somebody get that man a drumset!
