      Oh, I think he messed up, but he's so good that it doesn't seem like he did. Look at the face of the flautist. She *almost* cracked up. If that had been planned, I doubt she'd have reacted at all. Besides, Ben makes a little "I done goofed" head bob.

      +cgilmartin Correct. Not only that, but before that his hand isn't even on the face of the cajon, so it couldn't possibly be making a snare sound. If you hit the side of a cajon it just makes a flat wood smacking noise.
