Yes, I agree. Carlos Vamos plays nicely. I don't think you should  
compare these too recordings (videos) because IMO the stick guy is  
not up to the same level at all. I'm not interested in the stick to  
learn tapping, I just adore the broad note span, the clear tone and  
the polytonal character. So far I'm still quite happy with using the  
flute as the main instrument, after having played it for three years.  
I think I'll stick to flute in the future, even when learning new  
instruments. I kind of like the flute too for looping, because you  
can do a lot of non-tonal sounds with your mouth besides playing  
plain notes. Not many other instrument offers that option.
