You can quickly tell what a cult following Primus have from the spot-on crowd participation from this audience. In this video, I react to and analyze a live performance by Primus - "Tommy The Cat" at Bonnaroo 2011. I cover tips on achieving his slap bass technique (and playing those fast percussive grooves), his bass tone, using a strumming flamenco-type technique for bass fills, how he puts it all together, and simply how their songwriting style makes Primus such a cool band.
