5:09 Zildjian guy does intro and announcements. Everything we see is performed in real time.

5:11 AJ takes the stage and sits at kit. Smiles. Launches into a version of Bad by Michael Jackson, triggering all the harmonies and melody. This guy is so freaking happy. He’s totally toying with the audience. Launches into a triggered version of “Dont Stop Til You Get Enough.” Next up: “Rock with you.” then Thriller. I can’t believe he’s triggering all of this himself … In real time!

5:26 New tune. World sounding. Wait, it’s the intro back into Thriller!nl big finish including the Vincent Price laugh.

5:28 AJ takes the mic. He’s so cute! Now he is talking about his gear. Zildjian Hybrids.

AJ: A coulple of years ago, I would take many cymbals to recording sessions but it was getting heavy. I wanted one cymbal with darkness and brilliance. I thought there should a cymbal with half lathing. Was originally just in Japan but sold out and was released worldwide. I use Yamaha oak custom drums with Akira Jimbo sig snare. (demonstrates trigger system and plays melody with sheep and bg harmonies with dog sounds! Lol). Next up, I dedicate this next medley to jazz.

5:37 Plays tune with walking line onkick drum. Take 5. Take the Train with slamming pop groove underneath. Next up, up tempo Latin tune. Caravan. Into solo section. Launches into Spain. Pretty tight! Big finish b
