Vadrum meets the Barber of Seville & Tenacious D

He's Baaaack... I just had to find more of the ringtone drummer guy. Thankfully, he's all over youtube. Apparently his name is Andrea Vadrucci, but he calls himself Vadrum. He's Italian, and seems able to compose a rock drum track for any piece of music available.

The next clip is him playing along with "The Barber of Seville". You might think you won't recognize it, since you're not an Opera fan, but if you've ever watched Bugs Bunny cartoons - you'll be right at home with this one. Absolutley amazing. I could watch this guy all day.



And here's another great (and funny) one. A clip of him playing along with Tenacious D's version of a Bach piece - including PIP of TD up in the corner.

There is just something about watching a good drummer. The economy of movement, the seeming effortless speed and precision. And as this clip shows... it doesn't even matter what they're playing along with. This guy is amazing. Watch and see if you don't agree. Those in the know will get a kick out of the way he's set up his kit.
