MAKE: Blog: James Taylor's drumming machine

James Taylor's drumming machine

Monk, a commenter on a previous post, pointed out this clip of James Taylor performing with 'Slap Leather' with his drumming machine, Big Foot. Not the most elegant device, but effective - and perhaps not what you'd expect to accompany Mr. Taylor on stage.

Looks pretty freakin' elegant to me. Maybe not James' dance in the middle there, but the song and the machine are fabulous.
