He plays all of the percussion plus harmonium and the droning, stringed tanpura. Being a drummer, Feist focuses on rhythmic embellishments, resulting in a sound that is equal parts drum corps and opium den."

"Feist starts a flurry on the tabla. Even without any accompaniment, his polyrhythmic notes are almost too much to fathom. How does such a full sound come from one drummer? For the uninitiated, the tabla is played with the full hand, as well as the palm and fingers, so it's possible to have multiple notes with one hand."

"Jim Feist plays the tabla sitting on the floor, his fingers and palms alternating on the drum face in a mesmerizing beat."
-Cincinnati Enquirer
"Sitting cross-legged opposite Jim Feist, watching him manipulating the tabla, I'm mesmerized by the array of sounds he charms from the instruments. When it's my turn, the only noise I can coax from the drums sounds like hitting a cardboard box".

"This is surely the first time a musician has thanked me for purchasing their music personally, but it gives me an opportunity to say THANK YOU! I love "Indus Red". I listened to snippets on CD Baby, and it touched me immediately. I am a percussive person, unable to sit still listening to ragas or polkas or tangoes (is that how you spell plural tango?), patting out beats on my knees. I've gone around the world to hear taiko, conga, tabla, and djembes. Anyway, your music takes all that I love about East Indian music, exotic sound, drum, and trance and puts it all together.
I teach art in a high school and use music to stimulate or aggravate students into creating things. When I brought in "Indus Red", it was the first time most of my students had ever heard anything like it. I love when some of them 'get it' and let it in and are changed by it.
Thank you for creating inspiration! And let me know when you produce another CD!"
