This ‘One-Man-Band’ From India is Quite the Head Turner
- 5 years ago
Gladson Peter, Indian percussionist is leaving fans awestruck by playing popular renditions of Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars compositions on 13 instruments, weighing a whopping 25 kg--carrying all on his back, in mind-blowing sync.
Gladson Peter is India's first 'one-man band'. Even though he is barely 60 kilos-fairly underweight for his age and height, the 23-year-old musician is like a live wire when he starts playing his massive kit.
He can play over 45 instruments and at the moment, he balances Bass drum, Snare drum, the hi-hat cymbals which make up the main rhythm section of the kit, a guitar, an Ukulele and a melodica in the front that he operates by the fingers of right hand, a chromatic harmonica, a diatonic harmonica, kazoo, and a slide whistle that he alternates during songs as required.
He also ties bells on legs and a tambourine and other percussive instruments diligently and beautifully on his body.
