The beginning of that piece was crying for a djembe, though.
But... it's the string quintet...
The California Guitar Trio often plays with Tony Levin (often on Stick!) or other guys, and I've seen them bill themselves as CGT+1 or +2...
Gotta be able to keep count! =)
The Stick is a neat thing - you play it with the two-handed tapping technique, instead of plucking, strumming, or bowing. Well, I expect you could use those methods to play it, but that's not what it excels at.
The EBow is pretty neat. If I remember right, it uses magnets to cycle back and forth and get steel strings to vibrate without coming into contact with them, so you get the wind instrument effect.
Of course, it can do that until its battery(-ies?) run out, whereas a wind player can't quite last that long... =)
