Drummer Dave Black was a long time educator in drum set education. Here he shows that a drummer can express himself completely only using one instrument, in this case the the hi hat.

Great, great stuff. I'm really glad to see someone holding the sticks correctly, too. And his elbows are in. Man, when I was a young student, my teacher (who was a big band drummer for decades) would whack the shit outta my elbows with a 2B if I let them fly. The relaxed economy of motion isn't something you see a lot of today.

Here's Carl Pannuzzo display relaxed economy of motion, including a turn on the Disappearing Snare. While singing his fucking heart out.

I love these guys.

I was fully expecting to find this about as interesting/necessary as Manowar's cymbal solo from their Triumph Of Steel album

But holy fuck, I was wrong. This is amazing.

Probably shouldn't make it my ring tone, though.
