UPDATE 1
I've listen to the drum performances contained in that talk now twice ... they're awesome. Such an expressive approach to playing drums. And the last one with the brushes on the snare is mesmerizing.
UPDATE 2
Specified the subject just a bit. And added this live 37-minute performance of Mayer's Nerve band at the Hinterhof in Basel:
