Great video. I didn't even realize there was a K Con flat ride. The 1 and 3 accent pattern was definitely uncomfortable and I am totally stealing that clever little fill at 12:39 :)

Thanks Jonathan for the comment and checking out the video! I actually bought the flat ride in 2009 when I came to Japan the first time to play at a Jazz festival. Little did I know, about a decade later, I'd be living here and playing it! LOL 😂 Please steal everything! It's there for the taking. 🤩
