Drums made of shoes

Yes, you read that right. Drums. Made of shoes.
Thanks to Create Digital Music for pointing out a video of Eric Singer, an electronic/experimental artist playing some sort of contraption that processes live radio signals. There is some looping and editing, but it's all done on the fly, in the middle of the performance. Even if you find that ho-hum, his drum kit is made from shoes. When have you ever seen that before? See it now before all of the hip Williamsburg bands catch onto the new "shoe" sound. I predict it will grow faster than that sample of a wildcat growl.
There's not a lot of information available about Eric Singer, not to be confused with Eric Singer, the KISS and Alice Cooper drummer. The Eric Singer from the video has a website, www.ericsinger.com, where he has other videos, songs and explanations of this and other of his sonic experiments. If you're looking for other drumming mixed with sonic experimentaton, look at the review of Tongues, Kieran Hebden and famed jazz drummer Steve Reid's latest effort.
