Here's a good friend of mine who never ceases to amaze me:

It gets absurdly cool when he's dealing with all three pedals with his left foot...

I used to reharse where he rehearses, and one day I stood outside his closed door listening to his playing, and thought about what nice licks he knew so I knocked to ask him about it. He told me he gave classes so I arranged to have a class with him. I gotta be honest I didn't get what I expected, but I must say, that snare he has feels really nice to play.
