Kuskokwim River Breakup Party 2010 featuring Mike McIntyre on Drums.mp4

When the Kuskokwim River breaks up each year, a party breaks out in the town of Bethel in far western Alaska. This year, the river broke on May 17th, so that evening the town turned out to listen to some local bands and eat hot dogs and tell stories about salmon fishing which will start in another month or so. This is a portion of party at about 8:30pm when Mike McIntyre (a friend I work with) started waling on his drums.

Mike, I guess that's what happens when your favorite drummer is Buddy Rich. Outstanding.

Like always, somehow you end up getting great audio in your videos. I guess I really do need to upgrade to a better microphone. Great job Spencer & Coryee!

Holy Hell! I guess I am pretty good at playing drums! Thank you, Spence and Coryee!
