This is a video of Taylor Hawkins’ 16-year old son Shane playing the drums on Foo Fighters’ ‘My Hero’ during a recent tribute concert to his late father in London. He is definitely his father’s son. Even having never seen him before, I could have easily picked him out of
This is a video of the 1000-musician strong Rockin’ 1000 assembled for a concert in Paris and performing Queen & David Bowie’s 1981 banger ‘Under Pressure’. Sure the original was performed by only six musicians, but another 994 can’t hurt, right? Or maybe it takes 1,000 people in order to
This is a video of Zimbabwe’s Hillcrest College Marimba Band performing at the 2017 Marimba Cup Challenge. Their performance won them the coveted Marimba Cup that year, which, at least in my mind, they all shared a celebratory drink out of afterwards. It really is a joy to watch. There’s

This is a stop motion video of chronic starer (You got a problem, boy?!) and pianist Lord Vinheteiro performing Korsakov‘s ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’ with a single finger, his digit remaining motionless and only the keyboard moving. He says he spent 36 hours making and editing the one minute clip,
This is a video of Jazz musician Jacob Collier playing the audience like an instrument. Apparently a lot of the people who attend Jacob’s shows are musically inclined themselves (Jacob is considered a musician’s musican), which probably makes such a feat a whole lot easier.
