Percussive Videos Anyone? Anyone?
I'm going to meet with a composer about creating a music bed for a TV commercial and an extended video I'm creating. In my head, I'm hearing/seeing lots of quick cuts coordinated to a very percussive music/sound effects mix. But I'm having trouble finding examples that I could show to prevent hours of me explaining it badly while making lots of funny sounds and spraying spit all over the studio.
So ... know of anything that fits the bill? I'm looking for video cut to percussion with bonus points if some of the percussion involves real objects as well as musical instruments. It can be music videos, film, commercials ... anything that can give us a starting point to try to create something even beyond that.
Thanks.

Although it is not strictly percussion, I offer

The cuts aren't particularly quick, but music for one apartment and six drummers?

You may have already seen it, but this version of Steve Reich's Clapping Music was the first thing that jumped into my head.

Nike B-ball.
A classic spot using the word "Don't" as a rhythm.
VW spot.
This is quite rhythmic.(not a spot)
Any editing is creating a rhythm and cutting to or on a music beat is really a matter of letting the music drive when the edits happen rather than the video content. If you want it rapid you've got to figure out what that pace is and how fast you want the cuts to go. You can burn up allot of footage with a rapid cut; make sure that you have enough in the can or are story-boarded very tightly.
