That's because Bella is so cool and sounds so great

So?

We had a similar thing here at the Townepoint Jazz Fest (Norfolk, VA). A lotta people here already knew the Wootens...did not matter, they took no prisoners!

@@ajeveryday1980 what's your point

@@ajeveryday1980 Way to be a dick for no reason, we're all very impressed.

Holy crap, that is so cool!

its from Classical Thump

Ya, these guys are totally down to earth and cool dudes. I saw them live at yoshi's in SF about 8 years ago or something and the whole group stayed after the show to sign autographs and chat face to face with the audience in the lobby to the place. I asked Vic how he did this cool thing I saw during one of his solos that night where he bent a harmonic note and gave it a tremello effect and he explained it to me as he was signing my merch.

@@adambomb2877 may have been the Kahler bass trem he was using,but he can surely mimic that effect with those hands of granite! Probably crush a bowling ball with those fkers.

I mean Futureman is absolutely #1 at whatever the hell that thing is

NGL, I wish I had been there. I was 8. I have the poster from that year, I think.

That is accurate.

A freaken men!!!!!####!!!!

Katrina Lefay The Rite Of Spring - Dmitri Shostakovich, the one conducted by Alejandro Urrutio

My mom had a copy of this growing up! Newport Jazz Fest, 1992

This is from the Jacksonville Jazz Festival in 1991.

That’s a synth-axe drumitar, an instrument he invented. He took a synth-axe, which is this sort of synthesizer guitar instrument and modified it by attaching a bunch of percussion and sound-effect pads to it. That’s what he uses for the band’s drums and percussion (although he eventually replaced the original, cobbled-together model seen here with a sleek, red, custom made one). The really cool thing, though, is that he actually does play the drums and is a very skilled drummer at that. There’s videos on KZfaq of him doing solos where he simultaneously plays a drum kit and a drumitar. It’s quite a sight to behold. He’s actually the bass player, Victor Wooten’s brother, Roy, and the reason for his weird outfit is that he goes by the name of Future Man. He’s a rather eccentric character. The band says in their liner notes that he actually time-traveled here from the future, via a black hole or something like that. He even went so far as to claim that he wasn’t obligated to pay taxes due to his being from the future when he came under fire for tax evasion years ago.

Reminds me of you guys playin’ at the Cockeyed Camel venue in Nashville,TN 1990’s.🐪

I think he called it a drumitar. It's basically a drum machine/percussion thing he invented.
