Found on YouTube: The Wikidrummer



In what is easily the best drumming video you will see this month, The Wikidrummer is a video featuring a three-piece drum kit, recorded in numerous acoustical landscapes and edited together into one amazing and seamless performance, with no artificial reverb added.

The man behind the kit is Julien Audigier and the video was created to promote (very effectively I must add) the Wikidrummers website (in French. Google Translated, here). There was obviously a ton of work put into creating this performance, but perhaps the talented people behind it will see fit to unleash a sequel. Hold up your lighters or your lighter apps if you agree.

Also, bonus points to the drummer for not missing a beat when that car rolls past him at the 1:11 mark.

Clearly, if you are a drummer or a fan of percussion, you will want to follow The Wikidrummers on Twitter (again, in French).

Originally h/t Chris Dlugosz and Danimal/Armcannon.

After you watch Vika's performance, come inside to check out the original, especially if it's never penetrated your ears before and to learn about Vika's other unique performances.
