Well, you can't really seriously judge a recording after having listened
to it for 30 secs, I know. It is just my impression. And I guess my
impression is pretty biased too because I don't like this kind of music.
I should've better watched the whole video.

Being able to multitask doesn't equal talent. There are a lot of
musicians who master just one or two instruments who have a lot more
talent than this guy. As an anology, it reminds me of this:

The guy is very good at doing his thing but it's no art and you don't
need to be talented to do such a thing.
