Tony Levin Funk Fingers (drumsticks taped to his fingers)

Just found this clip of him doing his famous funk fingers thing.

Awesome!

That video is from a residential course. I forget whether it was Germany, Japan or the USA. If you are impressed by that, you should witness TLev bowing on a Chapman Grand Stick. (Stick Men, performing The Firebird Suite live as a trio!)

The beaters through phases of being in production and, then, unavailable for years. The rubbery coating material has changed over time.

Some Japanese TLev fanatic published technical drawings for people wishing to make their own. (This may since have been ordered to cease and desist.)

Chapman Stick stuff never impresses or even pleases me.

Every single time I hear one being played my thought is "bet that would have been lovely on a piano."
