Kid Nails Tom Sawyer on Drums
I see this every day at my local Drums R Us, but it's not too bad, I guess. (probably a Q)

Pfffft. If this kid wants me to be impressed, let's see him nail YYZ.

Maybe we can put him in a band with all the little kid guitar shredders that Dane knows.

Rather watch him work his way through this, particularly with the foot cam.

Well he missed a couple beats toward the end so he sucks.

He missed quite a bit in both videos. He's really "heavy handed" and didn't roll well in YYZ. His timing was very suspect throughout both videos as well. I was not impressed.
Now, before you guys rail on me, I have heard young kids recently that can actually play without being forced. At my daughter's talent show in November, one of the 6 year old's brought his entire kit and played War Pigs, which is a really difficult song, regardless of age, because of the "swing" and ghost notes. That kid absolutely nailed it. I was blown away. Of course, his dad is a TV composer but still, he rocked. |

Now we've gone from local Guitar Centers to elementary school talent shows.

There is nothing natural about this kid's playing. He's not hearing it and he's not feeling it. IMO, it's embarrassing. |

The kid's story is pretty interesting if you go to his website. Self taught, basically, with parents who aren't musicians. He now has an instructor, but he taught himself from 2-4 years old or something.
