  • Check this video out to listen to Robin Frost:

    Running on the Rims

  • everytime i watch him play i cant believe the sound that comes out, its like he has 5 hands or something

  • I agree. Even worse than playing too fast is playing it increasingly faster than the tempo you started with, or playing it faster than you can cleanly play it. At least Adam keeps the same temo and doesn't play faster than his ability though. He's one of the best on youtube I've seen, especially his more current recordings.

  • This a young Adam here. If you compare him at his current age of 18 then I'd have to give it to Adam over Stephanie just based on my personal preference for style of playing. It's very close, but I like the varying dynamics and pedal use displayed by Adam. It's very surprising to see that mature of a sound coming from such a young player!

  • My opinion is Stephanie is the best. Her play is perfect. Adam is very good player too but stephanie is so regular and has such an amount of lightness. There is no error in her play. Her left hand is stronger, her right hand as much dexterity than a classical musician. Just look on youtube this same piece played by stephanie tricks. you will see the difference. My opinion by the way:p

  • That Adam and Stephanie both play superlatively is the final proof that there must be something in the air or the water in the USA.Does this make it the "ragtime" God's own country?Wonderful music both.

  • There may be several clips of Stephanie playing "Fingerbreaker" on You Tube, but her programs are more varied than you make it sound. Stephanie has a much stronger left hand than Adam -- or most anyone else I've seen (live or on You Tube). She'll probably be in Sacramento for the West Coast Festival again next month. That will be a good time to see for yourself. Video will likely surface on You Tube for those who won't be there in person.

  • Adam, definitely.

  • I'm more for Adam. Stephanie, judging by youtube alone (i know, i know. I don't live in the US so there.) overuses the Finger Breaker, while every Swanson video i watch is of a different piece.

  • Adam vs. Stephanie Trick? Opinions anyone??
