A video of a Thai man rocking out on drums that were drawn on a wall with coloured chalk was uploaded to YouTube on Sunday and is rapidly gaining popularity, with more than 100,000 views in just five days.
Weerachat "Note" Premananda, a jazz drummer and music teacher at Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University, was filmed air drumming to Rez Power by Israel & New Breed with only drumsticks and a kick pedal.
A total of four drawings, each portraying a drum kit seen from four different viewpoints, accompanied Note, adding virtual realism to his performance.
The video was met with much positive feedback. The most "liked" comment, written by a person using the alias Matana Chaiwandee, was: "This is world class air drumming."
Note also posted a comment thanking everyone who posted comments on his YouTube page. The air drummer claimed on the page that his brand of air drumming was a Thai idea, not copied from elsewhere, although some commentators disagreed.
