My personal musical talent tapers off at about the "rudimentary guitar knowledge"-level. I have never even attempted to play drums, unless you count wildly flailing and swearing at the plastic drum set in Rock Band. This lack of personal insight might skew my interpretation of what is technically impressive when it comes to percussionists, but I feel that it's a safe bet to assume my mind being absolutely blown by this Korean drummer named Kwon Soon Keun is entirely justified. The controlled madness and fury he demonstrates in these two videos is stunning to behold. Apparently, there is a documentary about his life called A Drummer's Passion, which I am now very eager to see.
