Rhythmist: Scott Pellegrom at TEDxMuskegon

Next generation of drumming.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This is what a professional crazy person is like without blowing up in your face :D This guys GREAT!

[@IsakuKageyama]

So many different sounds, and so much control over all of them!

[@stephaniesmith7317]

WOW Frikken' cool! I really enjoy listening to a talented rhythmist. THANK YOU

[@bigboomnyisb2281]

lol I hit my hips all the time as a drummer and my dads always like "I'm not paying for your hip replacement"

[@ianmartin5033]

5:11 he whacks his hand and the "OW" is in rhythm lmao

[@halukgul6408]

llmmmaaaoo such a cool guy

[@UkiWoDao]

Would be fairly strange if it was any other way.

[@davinsosa1438]

Hahaha

[@Iamyourfather666]

He's such a nice human being, I just wanna be friends with him and discuss life. I just saw a drum talk on Drumeo youtube channel, and I just was amazed on his view on life and music and so on.

[@spencerthompson4326]

I live in the same city as him... Talented dude... But shows it off way to much. Broke one of my friends drum heads at a birthday party while showing off. Didn't say anything. Just left :/

[@nikhiljoshi2961]

He’s my uncle. Great guy. Super nice.

[@panchovilla4369]

[@Splitbrainmusic1]

Masterful & creative !

[@Dev1nci]

I slap myself in the face for a living

[@dshmk-hd1pf]

Who else used their head as percussive instrument after this?

[@couchcamperTM]

I did so when I was a child, stting on the loo. But I may do it again, now^^

[@feijao5299]

Myself

[@markdemell8056]

Been doing that for ever , since childhood.I am now 51.

[@johnseal56]

Excellent Han Bennink tribute.

[@pierluigicalderoni5573]

Fantastico, la vera ricerca timbrica e sonora. Sono estasiato. BRAVO

[@jeffsadowski7759]

The world didn't know it before this video came out, but this guy, J Rabb, and Benny Greb were triplets when they were born........Maybe they can reconnect, perhaps? Great stuff!!

[@Danny_Aniss]

If the three play together I'd be happy to die right after that, for my life will be complete.

[@rustycalvera977]

I love the innovations

[@drumxx0]

[@ElizaMogha]

[@user-ud7bv4df2b]

Ellie Meli -&^

[@aucomint]

Yeah, I'm sure this guy would be able to perform a 2-hour show with only a fork and and frying pan...

[@houyi3982]

The Body is an instrument.

[@joshuakerger2897]

Singing? The body can make an amazing amount of different noises. It is an instrument and further more it’s a musical one. The body is an electrical instrument with our senses being our receiver/amp and consciousness being both the composer and audience. Maybe... I don’t know... I am pretty damn high but that doesn’t mean I’m not high.... wait.. i forgot the question?

[@Koropokel]

going to steal all his ideas and textures and nobody is going to stop me.

[@RADSQUID123]

He hasn't apologized for ripping off Han Bennik and Chris Corsano, so you should be totally in the clear

[@amymamabear5227]

Alex Pandamann how did it go?

[@AlessandroSpenga]

GENIUS!!!!

[@andydanielfonsecagarcia2274]

Amanzing.

[@Edwordless]

Should probably be titled: different ways to to hit stuff.

[@stealthblack4201]

[@danygimenez4749]

[@joshuakerger2897]

Hermann Bläsing aka music

[@bfjohnmark]

Im a drummer.. and this is insane..

[@danm2084]

Okaaay... what does you being a drummer have to do with this being insane? Lol. Just wanted people to know you play the drums?

[@for_your_entertainment]

We are the musical instruments

[@lunalarosa4845]

I was enjoying everything until the 10 minute mark when the background feedback kept getting louder and I got too distracted to finish the presentation.

[@adamkaufmann3301]

same

[@areaboy777]

So this guy gets paid to do this, where do I apply???

[@jamieharr4459]

Check out his solo work at Drumeo and you would see you can't even get the application for his job son ..lol

[@ThomasNeal]

I'm I the only person that realized he was doing 32nd note splits between both of his feet and hands? Maybe it's because I'm a bass drummer.

[@abdiwahabahmed7626]

How can I communicate you

[@LanceCampeau]

That looks like a Matt Nolan ride.... ?

[@MrZanellis]

Did he motorboat a snare?

[@MartinHerchel]

It's what fuels his passion. He does it often.

[@LordQueezle]

....that moment when he plays his forehead... O.0

[@Rickey904]

WOW !

[@alanduncan1073]

aw man, that's hip! xD

[@abdiwahabahmed7626]

Sir I really wonder

[@AstrumG2V]

Y'all think this is genius, wait till you see him behind an actual kit...

[@wilcyn71]

Using a bit of Indian technic to dampen the sound. Clever.

[@danm2084]

That started in India?

[@matycee]

does he KNOW where that drumstick has even been?

[@crazyhydraful]

matycee he just put his right foot on the drums and then put his mouth and did vrrrrrrrr on it!!haha

[@gripcatita]

saw it... cool.

[@aseemjai8267]

GENIUS!!

[@ziukh3164]

He is pretty cool when on a full kit but I find his rhytms a bit dull for someone who calls himself a rhythmist.

[@lenchoberhanu1406]

[@marcelogalan1261]

scun scun cuta scun cuta cuta ....prrrrr UPS

[@SzaboDTamas-ki4wu]

[@sonjagartnerart]

[@takiclintonharness4066]

You can tell by the audience faces, They are not impressed

[@darkcgi]

Hes talented but awkward somehow.

[@amymamabear5227]

Donald Tarter same with John Mapes! He is a really great guy, but he’s a big doof

[@nikhiljoshi2961]

He’s less awkward in person though 😂 he’s my uncle

[@amymamabear5227]

SlothRevolution must be fun family reunions! Seems he would have trouble standing still, he has great energy

[@nikhiljoshi2961]

Amy Mamabear yeah lol

[@amymamabear5227]

SlothRevolution my 16yo son was one of the students selected to participate in John Mapes clinic at PASIC, my son was in heaven at Pasic

[@adeboyegrillo3408]
