He double mallets the instruments and is able to play both of them at the same time. He follows that up with a more traditional drum solo on his custom kit, which he does not have a name for. Although unremarkable, it shows that he can at least get around on the drums. Next, he plays a slow rendition of the jazz standard "Embraceable You" on vibes, giving it a sultry and chilled feel. Right after that he goes into a lively and cute rendition of Mozart's "Rondo A La Turk" which gets progressively faster and faster to the point where at the coda his hands appear as a brown blur. You notice a few minor mistakes and note that to your audio engineers. Immediately after that he goes into a haunting rendition of Mark Oldfield's "Tubular Bells", which catches your audio engineers' attention and displays his brevity and ability to play multiple instruments at the same time. However, towards the end of the 15-minute rendition, you begin to grow impatient and weary. Finally he finishes it off with an original composition called "Happily Ever After" which features him on drumset, marimba, vibes, steel drum and xylophone (sometimes all at the same time). It's a bombastic finish to what your engineers call an "imperfect but altogether exhilarating experience". They also note that "we're grading this guy a bit harder because he is not merely a popstar, but a legitimate musician"
I feel like this guy could be a valuable asset. Not commercial, but talented and certainly deserving of representation. I'd also imagine that he'd do quite well as a live act. I'll sign the guy.
