I recently stumbled onto this link at DrumForum and was going to post it here. Thanks for doing it! I enjoyed the article and videos!

Just realized that the article link from DFO also contains some cool videos not included in the link provided by Mo Tonkie. Enjoy! http://www.charlotteobserver.com/living/article27513115.html
