that kid can wail man. talented chap. and 12 years old! little bugger!



bet he's a cross dressing crack addict by the time hes 17 ;)

a bit pesimistic mippio .

im a cynical man ;)

I saw this one before, but I thinks its kinda SICK to be that good at such a young age... its not just about talent with him, its also his dad forcing him to drum 10 hours a day I think :? (!) :o

a friend of mine was the same his dad forced him to do 5 hours a day. he slowly went insane from it

exacatmundo - pressure form parents equals crack habits and running old caravan parks in the west country.

same thing happens with child actors and micheal jackson is the perfect example of parent pressure messing with kids

A few years ago I was giving lessons to these 2 girls, these sisters that were a couple years apart in age.



Their dad heard I gave lessons on the cheap and so he phoned me up and I talked with him a while. His big thing was "do music lessons make you do better in school, because my daughters are bad at math and don't pay much attention in class..." which I thought was an odd question. I told him that learning music is a discipline and that it could help form good habits for school - but no, taking piano lessons wasn't going to make them do well in class overnight.



I gave lessons to these girls for about 4 months, one lesson each every 2 weeks. They never practiced, didn't learn a thing and were wasting time all around - and the older sister was a mouthy little... And it was the same thing every time with their dad, "they were busy with softball... they were busy with swim meets all week... they went for a week long trip with the girl scouts... just signed them up for soccer... just signed them up for ballet" well no SHIT these poor girls weren't doing well in class, they had no fucking time for anything other than what daddy had scheduled for them each week. The final straw was when the girls opened up and told me they felt like their dad was giving them so much to do because he didn't want them around - he was newly remarried with a young wife who didn't like the girls very much - I felt so bad for these sisters. Finally cut the girls loose and told their father that there has to be a willingness and desire to learn and piano or any instrument shouldn't be forced on a kid for whatever crackpot reason the parents have.



Also had another student, he was fantastic... the perfect student. Practiced when he could and was sad when the lessons ended! X-D Not only did he have a willingness to learn but immediately I could see a spark of talent at the first lesson and he loved the act of making music.



This 12 year old kid playing drums, the talent is definitely there you can't argue with that. His parents might be pushing him to play for hours on end, but imo you can hear a difference between parental influence driving a kid to succeed and pure talent and willingness on the part of the kid. Hard to explain, but it's something you know...

could someone give me the link of the video itself please ? :(

Even if the parents are pushing, its better than being not pushing and just leaving the kids.



So many parents take the easy way out and just give there child something like a ps2 that will shut them up, rather than doing someing that is more fun and productive such as playing sport or making music.

sorry my english is so poor sometimes.

You know, this kid is really great.



Watching him reminds me of when I went to the NAMM show a couple of years back. There was a drumming competition that was out of this world. Each contestant got about 3 minutes on the kit to show their stuff. Half the time their arms were a blur they were moving so fast. It wasn't just shitting on stage either, these people were so good it sounded like an all out symphony of drums when they were playing - hard to believe it was all done with 2 arms, a couple of sticks and the ball of a foot. It was mesmerizing to watch this, absolutely fascinating for the ears.



Much respect to the rhythm makers, I couldn't do it if a gun was pointed at my head.

his hands move so fast. incredible 8O

Damn. 8O

what the fuck happened there!!!!

I WANT SOME OF THAT TALENT!!!!!!!

(or the patience to practice)

maybe the chems will colab with this kid on their next album ;-)
