    This guy is so!!!!!! sick and soulful in his playing. This guy is the reason I started looking at Spectrasonics products. Some of these players that are just running all over the place when playing the instruments are not really expressing or showing the true quality of the instruments sounds. Sometimes it`s good to keep it in the pocket and let the instrument do the talking. Good job bro you really showed what the product sounds like very simple and clean.
