We enjoyed Tom’s musical skill and display of showmanship (with Mannheim Steamroller) as his Tommy Lee / Lars Ulrich rock star style included dramatic hand gestures, drumstick twirling, and suspenseful dramatic pauses during his “Little Drummer Boy” solos.
Watching Tom perform is as amazing as the sounds he produces. He uses his entire body and spiritual aura to embrace the instruments.
A show where anything is possible.
He’s even got an instrument on his shoes. I love it!
Tom really brings the music to life. He knocked everyone out at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Powerful elements of sound and rhythm. It is very cool.
He is a true artist, creating his own music in a manner fitting to the desires of the audience while stretching their imagination.
Tom’s music was amazingly complicated and amazingly beautiful….easily the artistic highlight of our season.
