One of the most talented guys ive seen was a guy that had a bunch of plastic drywall buckets that he was using as drums.

i was gonna mention the bucket drummer too....its been 10 years since i have seen it but as i sit here a world away from the subway, i remember. totally awsome! I have seen some great groups in penn station that stopped me in my tracks for 15 minutes or so.
i used to live in SOHO where you see those A cappella groups singing oldies and the tourists stop and block the sidewalk. didnt interest me to hear "youve lost that loving feeling" every saturday and sunday
And those peruvian pan flute groups that you see busking at every festival across the country....yuck. I always walk right by those dudes.
But ive seen some horn players jamming away that stopped me and made me say "WOW, i wonder if that is some famous dude?"
