“Each reflection of myself echoes a different emotion at me – 20 Heroes from the City of Roses” – production diary (XXXIV) – Ox the drummer

… I do?
In the quest to research drumming, I came now to the very interesting topic: STREET DRUMMING. Listen to this:
I was so worried about the drum set, but this guy proves it: all you need is mama’s kitchen equipment:

I also liked this guy from London a lot, bucket moving and subway coming through included:

He blew my mind (but this is youtube, if she comes up: you’ve got to skip the blond chick talking about bullshit upfront, it’s worth hanging in there, you’ll see!)

…and then there is this is guy, who is a celebrity now (and you’ll see why): Peter Rabbit from NYC, there are by now many videos on him, but I chose this one for the beat and also because I liked the subway sound:

This is THE BEST I ever came across, I can only marvel (just as I can’t drum doesn’t mean I can’t listen!) If you ever hear anything better, let me know, I am happy to put it up here in my gallery of best street drummers!
Ox in the making
*At a later point (end of June actually) I got a video of Ox actually doing his thing. Great!!! So, it is here, may I present Ox, the drummer, beat boxing: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150987866359131

At times, I do not feel quite human. I get caught up in: Facebook, where everybody tries to be so sharp and witty; the daily news, where most of the reporting is trashy with no depth; and my job, well…its ok but not much personal meaning. Your daily blog is packed with so much interesting information about historical artifacts to the lives of many artists. It is nice to read a blog with such deap analysis about the topic. I watch you pour your heart and soul into this and whatever project you take on-this definately makes me think about my own life and the way I participate in the lives of others.
I look forward to seeing what character you come up with for the drummer. I hope to make it out To Portland when the show is complete and see the final product as well as (hopefully) meeting some of the real people behind the ceramic characters.
Keep up the analysis!
Hey Thomas, wow, thank you! After a week of most flattering, yet pointless trackback spam you are the first actual “comment” on my work, and I am really glad you find it so interesting! It can get very tough at times, just like any other job. I hope you can come to see the show in October!
Thank you for the great encouragement! I hope not to disappoint anybody!
