    Everything about this is perfect. The insanely funky bass tone, the awesome keyboard playing, the brass section lick, Paul Cornish rushing downstairs just in time to play a wild piano solo, the fact that they got an entire orchestra for like the last 15 seconds of the song, the uncalled for but totally sick drum solo at the end, the hilarious editing, and the random gong at the end. Chef's kiss.
    Oh, and the fact that the keyboard Jacob Mann was playing was just a random cheapo one off Amazon

      @@LeonDerczynski Right? Any sane drummer with stakes that high... that many performers on the line... would have slapped on a double pedal and been done with it. No one would have noticed the difference. But Louis Cole is no sane drummer. He throws in an insanely difficult kick fill that sticks out like a sore thumb when no other instrument is playing. That takes balls of steel and insane chops. I don't think 99% of people realize the madness of what he's doing there. As huster3of4 says... it's just insanity.

      Louis' pet mouse is named Bradford Montgomery-Westington III. He is a 53 year old criminal defense attorney who specializes in feline felony law.
      Bradford grew up in Dubai, India with his mother, Meredith, and his step-father, Bradford Montgomery-Westington II.
      As a young mouseling Bradford was painfully shy and introverted to the point of almost complete social isolation. In the 10th grade he met another young mouse named Sheridan Pollack and the two became fast friends.
      Sheridan was president of the debate team and tried recruiting Bradford on several occasions. It wouldn't be until senior year that he would finally be brave enough to join. Bradford immediately fell in love with debate. Finding flaws in other's arguments and dismantling logical fallacies is what sent Bradford on a path that would ultimately inspire him to pursue law, and eventually become an attorney.
      Bradford is married to a human woman named Shannon. They have 3 sons together, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. All three have pursued careers as fire-fighters.
      Aside from his law practice, Bradford manages a handful of music artists including, Knower, Alicia Keys, Mutemath, Grimes, KoЯn, and Bill Wurtz.
