James Hill shows off how to play the ukulele like a drum in this video filmed at NAMM 2013 in Anaheim, California. James Hill is one of the best ukulele players of our time (along with Jake Shimabukuro), and one of the most technically proficient as you can see here with his ukulele drumbeat.
Part Two of this video is one of the coolest versions of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” you’ll ever hear.
