For a tapping based instrument, I find a WOEFULLY SMALL number of players that have good rhythm and truly make use of the percussive elements of the instrument. Kevin Keith IS making use of those percussive elements, and plays the thing with true percussive skill. Actual Pocket. What a concept!
Kevin is a master. This song brings lively funk, a pleasing contrast between rhythm and melody and a clear flowing melody that draws me in with it's sensitivity. Props and respect, Kevin!
Kevin Keith is the only Stick player I've found that actually seems to strive for good tone. It's a fantastic instrument, sold short by a pervasive lack of ambition in that respect. Step up Stick players, the gauntlet hath been thrown. ;) Cheers!
Dammit, that's the tune that I was thinkin' of. Killer fretless line🤘in that Edie Brickell/New Bohemians tune. I'm not really a pay attention to the lyrics kinda guy, but, a pretty cool play on words, too.
Generally the bass side (left hand) is tuned in fifths, other five strings (right hand) tuned in fourths. I know some bass players who prefer to tune both sides in fourths, though. Get you one if you want a challenge!

Badass. The piano of guitars!
As a bassist...I'm speechless. As a musician....very proud!! Wow. Damn. Melody

Not only phenomenal musicianship, but a fantastic piece of music to listen to. I’ll be checking this guy out, he’s amazing!.
Straight badass. I knew John Myung and Tony Levin played the stick, but this guy is on another level
Sean Malone too of Cynic, some badass Stick playing there.
One and only - Trey Gunn
check out Robert Culbertson
Robert Culbertson is the best.
Don't forget Greg Howard (saw him in a small venue and talked to him for a minute).

He has a lot of videos on his channel
Thanks so much to everyone for over 100k views!
Also, if y'all like this one check out his song Voiced in my Head. That's my personal favourite of his.
Just checked it out...Yeah, I agree...it's really good! Great vibe. Thanks
at first i thought this was a cover of What I Am by Edie Brickell. Still good either way
Dammit, that's the tune that I was thinkin' of. Killer fretless line🤘in that Edie Brickell/New Bohemians tune. I'm not really a pay attention to the lyrics kinda guy, but, a pretty cool play on words, too.
Thats what I thought to man!!! Thank you bro!!!!
@@constructivecritique4049 I feel ya, I know the, what I am, is what I am.. lol were all on the same page at least lol
Me too!
Yep. I could hear it the whole time.
Good vibes. Amazing !!! 👊
Where is the button "OMFG this guy is awesome!!!"? A thumb up is not enough.
0:55 that's the look when you've tapped into the rawest form of "feeling it"
Damn, this is amazing. 8 Strings guitar player here. I am so inspired now
Awesome playing, man! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Kevin is an amazing Stick player, as much as he is an amazing human!
The groooove.... so good
Magnífica execução . Estou me tornando um admirador do instrumento.
Comprou um?
Amazing song. Avenida das Américas is the name of an beautifull avenue at Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
Sick stick. Sweet tunes.
Super musical
Aaaalder! Das ist ja außerirdisch! Ich dachte zuletzt, dass mich nichts mehr überraschen könnte. Aber nun? Danke!
Great!
Awesome playing, enjoyed this a lot.
Love that instrument, great work, man (saw that instrument first time with Tarace Boulba, about 20 years ago)
fenomenale musicista...complimenti per la padronanza con lo strumento
This is so cool! I want to save money to get a Chapman Stick.
Love it
My favourite stickman
Amazing!
That is absolutely amazing. I would LOVE to learn to play one of those. They aren't cheap though
Man!Thats really nice
Wooooha, I love it, awesome !!
Awesome. Never knew that a Stick was a thing.
Awesome playing. How is that thing tuned?
Generally the bass side (left hand) is tuned in fifths, other five strings (right hand) tuned in fourths. I know some bass players who prefer to tune both sides in fourths, though. Get you one if you want a challenge!
I could tell from the title I would feel very unskilled after watching this
I was correct
Worth it for the vibes 🕯️
I’m lost in a stick world now. 😊🎶👍🏻
nice! I like the ending!
Cool!
Lets just take a minute to appreciate his brain to have played 2 separate rhythm/melody parts simultaneously.
Wow that's nuts
Jammin'!
Phenomenal 😃💥💥💥💥💣💣💣💣
Alguien puede decirme dónde puedo conseguir un chapman stick, gracias?
Sick
When bass transcends*
Start with an Upright bass/Double bass
Evolve to a Bass guitar
Transcend to a Chapman stick
I'd like to hear a cover of A Bad Lip Reading's "My Stick"
Total Badassery!
Wow!!!!
Som lindo carai 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Quin so més bo... Preciós 😍
we stil waiting for those chops
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Phenomenal artist...be careful they'll start it " slap stick "..
🔥💯❤️🙏🏽
I want one. My life won't be complete if I don't.
Really enjoyed that apart from the "tapping" from 2:20 - 2:44. Other than that really good composition both melodically and rhythmically.
Woow
excellent looks like he has the stick on a high stand
As we like to say in Portugal: tá do caralho!
Nooice
Alphonso Johnson 😊
cool, but does it djent?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👌👌🙏
Easy enough to make one.
Should be on StickTheWorld.com! Great job though 😁
stick has always been considered belonging to the bass department, especially since it's played by so many bassists.
also the correct url would be StickItToTheWorld.com 😉
そんな、AMAZINGと言うほどの物ではない。
Hi Kevin
My name is Ms. Stevie
I heard about you from Malcolm.
Would love to network with you.
That felling when you even cant play slap on 4 string bass...)))
Badder than the cat's ass
