I have it set to DVR tomorrow, but a
very cool segment was when they taped Mike Mangini (Extreme, Steve Vai, James LaBrie's Mullmuzzler, Annihilator, Berklee Drum professor) and holder of
World's Fastest Drummer records in Fastest Hands (bongo-type playing w/o sticks), Fastest Traditional Grip & Fastest Matched Grip, and Fastest Single Stroke Foot. His taping for "Time Warp" showing his traditional grip at full speed and recorded with a counter as well full-kit playing. I was absolutely astounded at how the
physical aspects of the drums respond to playing, especially at someone of his level, and how a drummer uses the "bounce" of a snare head to lead into the next hit as well as just how much a cymbal can actually "deform" when hit (although unstated, I believe it was a thin cymbal that was hit/taped, and thus the more extreme movement of the metal... pun not intended.
)
