But, yeah, the guy's amazing! That part he's playing at the time marker you pointed me to is really impressive. It's a polyrhythm of some sort played at lightening speed. Are you familiar with polyrythms? Kind of hard to describe, but they're two rhythms/patterns played, which ARE in time and tempo with each other, but sound like they conflict. One's pulling one way, rhythmically, and the others one's pulling you the other.
Just found this video of legendary drummer, Peter Magadini, playing and describing polyrhythms. Embedding of the video is disabled, unfortunately.

A couple of years ago, I bought a glockenspiel to use with my drumkit. Neil Peart, of Rush, is known for using a glock at his kit. I really enjoy being able to add a melodic element while still playing a beat at the kit. I'll keep the beat between hi-hat, kick and snare, but I only use one drumstick for it. I play the glock with my left hand and play simple parts over the beat. VERY fun! :)
