Hey, thanks! Been doing it professionally for a while now and it's always nice to know that people appreciate it.

Here's another one people might enjoy: "Hairspray" conductor cam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tka8VdDS1_I

My daughter's a Broadway Pit cellist..so as a mom, I appreciate when the musicians get appreciated as well. YAY!

I've been lucky enough to sit in the pit during several Broadway shows and it made me admire the pit musicians even more than I had from the audience. There's such a difference in texture when a show has a full orchestra.

I noticed that the drummer in the EVITA video is using an electronic display to read his score. It looks like an ipad or something like that. Is that becoming common nowadays? Sure makes turning the page easier...just tap the screen.

Kudos to the pit and conductor, always.

I love that drummer's video! Pit drummers are no nonsense, stick to the script and keep in time type drummers. No crazy rock star solos. It's great to hear real drumming on an acoustic set as well.

Check out his other videos, too... he really does great on "The Music and the Mirror" (even opining on the song's 'boring bits' -- for a drummer, of course).
