I have always had the utmost respect for drummers. The ability to have the hand eye coordination to keep a hi-hat going, a bass drum going, and hit a snare in perfect time amazes me. There is no way that I will ever be able to play the drums. I've tried and I'm just plain bad. There are people like Glenn Kotche that take it to the next step. Glenn is the drummer for the band Wilco, and a couple of years ago he released a solo percussion album that is just amazing. Listening to it doesn't do it justice though. I am very grateful to have seen him play at the Boulder Theater when the album came out, and he's just amazing. He's got so much going on, and he creates percussion out of some of the most obscure objects. Just plain amazing. Check him out......this is one of my favorites off of his album "Mobile." It just has this kind of creepy sounding little riff to it, but it's just beautiful.
