Hands Down one of the most creative and intriguing interactive solos for Text-to-Speech and snare drummer. Not to mention Chris Lamb is just KILLIN IT! ! ! The video editing is superb! This is just a breathe of fresh air to a genre that has easily become BORING and PREDICTABLE!

[@yuki1838]

stunning

[@georgerynar8785]

Chris Lamb is a increadable musician... dynamics, chops, phrasing, interpretation... 5 *****

[@jmusto2116]

Really creative writing and interpreting, not to mention a very well done vid. Chris Lamb, the last person I know to get a computer. Which is of course, why he plays like this.

[@tonymason1959]

One of the greats. Had the pleasure of studying with Chris at MSM.

[@HueiYuanPan]

Awesome! Intriguing and fun, a great example of creative collaboration between video, audio, composition, and performance - bravo, Chris!

[@kari.b_soprano]

Fantastic job! Since around 6 years ago you are my favorite composer alive. Thanks for all your wonderful creations! Keep it up!

[@rfrench5]

This is amazing.. wonderful composition and performance.

Future PAS hall of famer, first footage of chris lamb solo on youtube.

[@mkallend]

I have that same shirt. Unfortunately, that’s the closest I’ve ever come to replicating Chris Lamb...try as I might.

[@denisgrenier6221]

Oui Monsieur, c'est très fort en technique et surtout très musical. Eh oui, yes, it is frenchais

[@austinshoupe1506]

Does anyone know what that drum on our right is? I keep seeing these drums with three large snare systems on them and am intrigued by them.

[@ryanreyna1794]

What kind of percussion is this I find it amazing

[@MarissaJenell]

This is an example of music and multimedia! aka snare drum solo with electronics.

[@chrisgoulet5829]

What is the name of the scrape stick around 1:50? I'm currently playing this solo and the grooves of the stick I'm using to scrape aren't deep or wide enough, and it's not producing a very good sound.

[@ErnestoComposer]

Chris G it's a brush

[@andresflorez5382]

It´s a rasping stick

[@alansalvador6878]

@@andresflorez5382 thanks for responding to this comment. I've been searching so long to figure out what that stick is called.

Hate the voiceover.
