Yeah I saw that too. If that's not hotness I don't know what is.

Seriously though, did some digging and she's like a seriously schooled musician since like a toddler. Check out one of her other band practice videos. She actually walks AROUND the keyboard and then proceeds to play solos like that BACKWARDS! As if you walked up to someone and started soloing from the other side of the keyboard. Pretty sick.

Also, what about that "FERNANDO" guy in the "Waiting for Kronos" thread? Guy's a freak of nature. Plays Keys, Drums, Guitar, and Bass each with virtuosity. All he needs to do is sing like a bird and I'm hiring a hitman from the fairness police!

she's a LOT older than 15. I also don't see it being a big deal even if she were. My cousin was a classically trained pianist and at the age of 18 was playing with huge symphonies all over the world. It's called practice and lessons since a VERY early age.

When I played baseball, she played piano. When I played football, she played piano. When I played drums, she played piano. When I played guitar, she played piano. When I started playing piano, she had been playing a LOT more than me. Guess what, she's better at piano than I am.

she does, no doubt. As complicated as that is, she still makes it look easy. Did you read her comments on how she programmed the patches? JEESH!

I know where B.F.E. is in Illinois McHale. That's right south of Decatur on Hwy 51... Right in the middle of a B.F. cornfield!

Definitely my favorite demo so far. The abilities of this board which are far beyond my own abilities are really shown off in this example. I'm so impressed no only with the piano ability, but also in the planning and use of the individual combis and fluid use of the setlist!

Thanks for sharing this link! It does make me very humble about even owning such a machine. I must practice more.

Fantastic use of Set List mode. Just goes to prove you don't need a stack of keys - Keith Emerson, eat your heart out.

Stunning performance!

She even has an appropriate (stage? I guess) name.


Hime (姫) - princess, or goddess, in Japanese. :lol:

One does not need a stack of keyboards and racks ?

Who would have ever thought that ?
