Seeing video #5,000,001 was of absolutely no interest, but then my LV suggested I click on it. I learned long ago not to argue, even though I couldn't see what could possibly be special about yet another video on a pan drum. Good thing I don't argue.
Turns out the instruments this guy makes are a cut above the rest, as is his girlfriend. He's from Lithuania. He engraves, paints and treats the metal like a gongsmith, and his pans are works of art. You certainly wouldn't mind hanging them on the wall between gigs. But it's the sound that counts, and his sound really good, and better than many. They're also way more expensive, but if I were getting one I'd spend a bit extra to get the best sound.
Halfway through the vid he stopped playing. He reached around the back and there were scraping and sliding sounds, and when he resumed playing it was in a totally different key. The notes had changed. I've seen those before but his were a lot better. I was curious to know how much they cost compared to the usual ones so I went to his Etsy page, and there she was.
I was scrolling down looking at the various designs, and DOING-G-G-G. That's how you sell mallets, bro. BTW if interested you can click on this photo and blow it way up. Right on. He makes his own mallets, which look like they're pretty nice, and he sure has a nice mallet-holder. OMG she fine. It's a shame he didn't show her face but I'll eat this laptop if she isn't stunning. Look at that...I'm not sure if it gets much better.
I've always loved the way a guitar can accent women's breasts, and the pattern these mallets make isn't bad either, and you get to see both of them. I'd love to see about a third less mallets, but I ain't complainin' none. That's a beautiful photo, and beautiful subject matter. I've seen mallets in catalogs since I was five, shopped for mallets in stores and later on eBay and such, and I've seen thousands of photos of mallets, but never have I seen one like this. He should sell just this photo. I'd buy one. In fact I might print one or order one from Walgreens. It's art. Plus breasts. And...oh, yeah...percussion. Cool.
I wonder if I could buy a pair of mallets, and see if he'd send me a non-cropped image, if he has one. I'd love to see her face, but her body...it's perfect. While a sheer white nylon top might show more detail, I don't mind having to work a little bit, and you have to look carefully with that particular top she has on, but if you do you can see that her breasts are pretty much perfect...nips, shape, roundness, symmetry...it's all there. Makes me want to move to Lithuania, if this sister is the norm.
She's too much. I think I'll holler at this guy and see what up. I do like these mallets a lot and I could use a pair (of mallets, that is, but that too), plus he makes these tiny gongs that are amazing. He calls them "Pocket Gongs." They're only about 5" in diameter, but they sound much bigger, especially in the low-end and sustain. A video shows him hitting one and it sounds really huge and rings forever. It's impressive, but if you ask me the most impressive thing he's hitting is this sister. Lord-a-mercy. She's tough.
