Exceptionally Talented People

[Flanders]

Please post you vids of folks who are not only talented, but so exceptional as to border on unbelievable.

I have played drums for about 20 years now. This is absolutely nuts. Street performer Dylan Elise at an outdoor festival in New Zealand...

Even if you aren't a drummer you will appreciate that this dude is sick. I love his response to dropping a stick at 2:45.

Could use a shower though hahaha

Pretty cool, but it just makes me wonder why he's not in a band,... too flashy?

Musical talent is only 1/2 of what it takes to be successful in a band...

Since we are on the subject of great drummers, and I mean GREAT drummers

Here is another Great Neil Pert solo. Now this guy is sick!!

Buddy Rich, Dave Grohl, Keith Moon, John Bonham, Dave Lombardo..................

This is an extremely strong and talented pole dancer...not sure if she's the world's best but she's certainly up there. I chose this clip because it has the least number of crazy friends/fans hooting and hollering on the soundtrack! Jenyne Butterfly

If you like it, you can look up other youTube clips...

Meh... He really doesn't mix it up much, concentrating on single drums at a time. How about an old, slow jazz drummer for comparison?

I didnt post based on his skill as a drummer; more his ability to flip and twirl the sticks while keeping a roll and beat going. I'm a drummer myself, and know that all the other "pure drummers" mentioned are WAY better drummers than Dylan. But his ability to juggle/twirl the sticks while keeping time & rhythm is unbelievable. That is what makes him special. Neil Pert is my hero, but he wouldn't stop as many people on the street as Dylan would... He would stop a lot of drum fans, but Dylan stops everyone.

This isn't a "Best Drummer" thread. It's an "Exceptionally Talented People" thread... Show me something unique, surprising and special...

This one's still my favorite.... give it a watch....

 

[Flanders]

To which I again say, Meh.

I guess I am more easily impressed than you are. It's either that, or I actually understand what it is that i am seeing...

 

[PlayfulAlex]

Because I'm sure you're all wondering...

Michael Hedges - I am sure he would have been more famous if he didn't die. He does a version of Pachelbel's Canon in D that is simply amazing, you would swear there were two other guitarists with him.

This odd little dude's a hit around my place. I think he's from Kentucky, and was one of the youngest graduates of a prestigious music program in Louisville. The music might not be your bag but theres no doubt the kid slays the keys. One of the most subscribed to on YouTube so he's making some real dough at it.

Check this kid out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xRARmrorGU

Amazing guitar player by any standard let alone for about 14 years old. (He's not quite 16 now.)
