Once again, we have an usual pairing with today's IHearIC videos. The first is some pan drums.
And the second features a cellist.

"Tyler Swick is a freelance musician and music educator in Las Vegas, Nevada. Elementary music education was a late passion for Swick, discovering it at the end of his music education degree at the University of Kentucky. After the bell rings in the Clark County School District, he heads over to the College of Southern Nevada to work with the Coyote Calypso Steel Band as an arranger and participant. The Coyote Calypso Steel Band is where Swick received his first exposure to steel drums when they played at the Las Vegas Day of Percussion in 2004. Now Swick teaches private steel pan lessons at the college after rehearsal but when he's not playing pan at CSN, Swick lectures the History of Rock and Roll to undergraduates. ​Late nights and weekends are spent enjoying the vibrant music scene around Las Vegas, whether it's listening or performing."

"Blake Shaw is an upright/electric bassist, composer, bandleader and private lesson teacher from Lisbon, Iowa who now resides in Iowa City. Shaw started on double bass at the age of 17 after becoming familiar with electric bass a few years before. He started his college career in the fall of 2008 at Kirkwood Community College. This is where he had his first classical lessons on double bass with Jeanette Welch. He moved on to the University of Iowa to pursue a Bachelor’s of Music in classical double bass performance, studying with professor Volkan Orhon and completing that degree in 2013. After a brief cruise ship gig in Australia, with the P&O Australia cruise line, following his BM degree Shaw came back to the US to start a Master of Arts degree at UI under the supervision of John Rapson, Damani Phillips, James Dreier and Steve Grismore while acting as one of the jazz department’s teaching assistants. Shaw was fortunate enough to play along side with several different guest artists during his years at UI such as: Wycliffe Gordon, O’had Talmor, Carmen Bradford, Terrell Stafford, Dave Pietro, and Dick Oatts.

"Shaw’s influences come from various genres and instrumentalists. He has made it a mission to become diverse and proficient in different contexts. His experience stretches from jazz, rock, classical, bluegrass, to latin, funk, R&B, and anything in between. His main bass influences have been but aren’t limited to Dave Holland, Christian McBride and John Clayton. Current bands Shaw is booking with include but aren’t limited to The Blake Shaw Quintet, Goose Town, Elizabeth Moen, River Glen, Thrio, and The Clinton St Quartet. You can also find Shaw subbing in Christopher Merz’s Very Happy Band as well as Flash in a Pan. Side projects include Dana T’s bands, the Muscatine Community Orchestra and Eric Thompson’s Fun Time music Hour."
