Phenomenal playing!! Where did she come from? I heard her name mentioned a couple of weeks ago but had no idea what she played like. Amazing foot work as well.
Some other incredible bass pedal players are Franz Lambert, Curt Prina, Claudia Hirschfeld and Hector Oliviera. I've seen all of them play Flight of the Bumble Bee, Sabre Dance and Tico Tico with their feet.
I used to play the MIGHTY WURLITZER pipe organ on friday nights at Pizza & Pipes and would play with Two feet, But this Woman is absolutely insanely fast. Her foot is just a blur. Thanks for the memories
I can play bass pedals fast but for not to long being quite tall, I often think that you need a comfortable leg length for rapid pedal abilities, if your leg is too long or too short it can be a draw back for fast pedal lines as you have to support your leg more if its to long, a leg length that lets the foot just breeze over the pedals is best, only other alternative is to adjust the bench height which usually on organs is impossible.

Noel, I used to have that problem also, being 6'5". You have to lift your leg and it's tiring. Looking back, I wonder if ditching the bench and using a higher stool would have helped? If you could make one fit around the pedal board. . . DonM
