    That's a REAL drum cymbal! What a total fraud!




    Seriously, amazing skills.

      Ha ha... that's pretty cool. Amazing talent.

      Speaking of "unconventional" street performers, check this guy out. 100% of the rhythm/drum sounds are from his voice, recorded live into a loop sampler. The sax player is pretty bad*** too!

    That guy can drum. Wonder how he'd do with real drums.

    Hope you don't think this one is cheating...

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

        Those dudes aint playin with those big Toms are they? lol Bustin out the mallets and everything!

        Thanks guys for the great contributions. I love street musicians. Alot of people make great livings at this....you can find some real unique people in that crowd, and even just normal highly talented people....or normal people with no talent who still manage to make some money everyday.

        My hats off to the street musicians who love what they do so much that they would do for free on the street or for donations if they had to...they just HAVE to do it!

        Bravo. And thank you for making our life's palette so colorful.

        Here's a guy that makes you cringe but you gotta give him props for being brave and authentic....



        In keeping with the Warrior money making mindset- bet he makes a few hundred on a good day!

        Brandon, I just got a line 6 hd500 effects processor with the looper in it as part of some stuff Im gathering to help with Steven and I's coming projects we have discussed....cant wait to get a minute to figure out how to use everything thats there with that unit,feels like I need to be a rocket scientist ton figure it out though. So far I just leave it on a couple of the stock sounds I like, its a chore thinking about learning it, but will be very cool to do some looping...

          I've used the Line 6 Pod's a few times before. Don't know how much difference the sounds/effects are between them and the HD 500's, but the Pod's are awesome. Highly addictive, lol! Pretty much all of the stock presets sound really, really good, and very realistic. About the only preset that I thought didn't sound realistic was the Cry Baby emulator (although it wasn't bad). But then again, I've NEVER heard another guitar pedal that could properly emulate a Cry Baby! I guess that's one thing that there's just no replacement for.

            Right now I just use the "tweed man" clean sound alot for jazz/blues/country, and the "california treadplate" distortion sound for rockin out... they are both stock and both very useful and work nicely with the new strat n3 pups (got a v neck , tobacco burst am deluxe as my main ax now).

            It may be months before I learn to program this thing, there are alot of sounds I'd like to create but its going to take some figuring out. For now Im loving the pure clean strat sounds, and the cali treadplate distortion gives me what I like distortion wise for the most part, you can tweak it with your strat nobs...thats one cool thing about strats, the tone nobs actually make a positive difference moreso than other guitars... you can control alot of your tone from the guitar with a strat, and achieve alot of different sounds without touching the amp or effects......better get outta here before I rant.

            Currently using a blues junior tube amp with it at home, everything at 12:00, and it sounds great just straight out of the amp too.

            Oh man, I better go...lol

            Cya Brandon, this is a can of worms for me.

            Ps. I will NEVER trade off this guitar. I have found this to be ultimate strat for my own taste, its going to be my "lifer". Everything you would ever want from a strat (unless you like c necks).

            I will pass this on. It and the 52 RI are my families heritage/heirloom guitars. Some people are ford or chevy people - we are "fender" people.

            What else could a man want? Okay, Im really out now.
