	Marc Nerenberg says: 2/2/2011 12:37:33 PM Here's an almost 9 minute long YouTube video of him...worth watching every minute! youtube.com/watch?v=ZUU7dCNsW0Y
	ramjo says: 2/2/2011 1:08:28 PM Good find Marc, and definitely worth watching. Such amazing technique...or I should have made that plural. I loved in that segment from "Gigue" how he incorporated the sound of the fingers hitting the head...not every stroke, but very rhythmically. He certainly brings on many new approaches...I'll be combing through his stuff for them. And practicing, practicing, practicing.
