Over the top.


At 4:08 he plays that stupid little tune "i like coffee" or whatever it
is I thoroughly regret having played on the piano as a kid. And I wonder
how much of that crowd could appreciate the big band stuff near the end.
Pure theatrics.


And don't forget the passing nod to "The drum also waltzes" at 0:40

BTW, they have one of the Neil kita at the gutter Center here in PHX set up
for $30,000.00. I just don't that kind of thing. Even if I was a giant fan
of a player and had $30,000.00 to piss away, I can't imagine buying a kit
like my "drum hero." --
