Who's heard of this guy? Probably the best player I've ever heard/seen. He takes the bongo playing to a new level not just technically, but most importantly, musically. Check him out if you haven't already.

Oh yeah, that's "The Bongo Project", I've known about him for a while now. First saw him on "The Bongo Group". Cool guy, innovative approach.

Honestly, with many of these posted vids I end up zoning out after a 30/40 sceonds.

This I watched till the end. The little cymbal scared me at first. There is some conga player up here in Canada who played with some indie group [so memorable I can't remember] and the dude had one of those and was ADDICTED to it. I wanted to feed it to him after the first 20 smacks! This gentleman used it sparingly and well.

Agree with BSB ...innovative.

Not only do I give him high marks for his incredible ability but also on his ability to hold that thing and (hopefully) be able to stand afterward! I couldn't do it! Buck
