Today’s lesson in rock & roll clinic is brought to you by Creative Labs and their Prodikeys drum machine/keyboard. In a deceptively lo-fi promo-vid we are introduced to the backbone of rock & roll: four-four time. It starts out pretty basic, but then our guide gets all genius on us, morphing into this furious salesman-meets-Jerry Lee Lewis. All we get is the quick verbal hint, “Little faster,” and he’s off. The Web tells us this keyboard is a cool fifty bucks. And It’s Friday. Friday = payday. Too easy? Maybe we should pit the Prodikey against that badass four-year-old drummer. Who wins?

That is…interesting to say the least. The 4 basics, huh?

When this guy started his “finger frenzy” on the keyboard, I thought I saw smoke.

Let’s give credit where credit is due- this guy is awesome. I think he missed his calling playing in the Japanese version of Rush- “Lush”.

¡Un qué vídeo fantástico! El hombre realmente sabe sus tambores. ¡Pienso que debo comprar el teclado!
Cheers.

What’s next? A tuba that doubles as an accordian, or maybe a bad ass electric guitar (the pinacle of music as we know it) that turns into a sissy viola? Drums rock hard! Let’s keep it that way.
Slayer!!!

The resonating thunder of pounding a stretched animal skin is the soul and the back-beat of rock n roll, not finger plinking a childs acoustic toy, however the “musician” in the clip is entertainingly energetic… JV.
