Are you playing the drums?

no ha, I can do this song, but that is the real band playing there. I miss the marching snare I used in high school, that stuff the percussion guy was doing is a lot of fun.

@mbasketcballb I believe what he did was put the cans under the strings where the stops hit the strings so they would strike the cans instead of the strings. I think he also stuffed shirts into the piano to mute the strings too. I was at the concert, so he was explaining what he was doing as he was doing it, but that was like 3 or 4 years ago so I don't really remember. I hope this helps out :)
