His style is astoundingly lyrical, and his technique is impeccable. As much as I love and respect other great players, DaXun Zhang is the new face of double bass. |

He grabbed my bass a few times to demonstrate a few things, and he would occasionally do a little run. My jaw dropped everytime.
Really nice guy too! |
