This was just added to drum solos in the drum videos section:

The kid is only 16 years old.

Daaaamn some crazy drumming right there

I'd say the young man has a brilliant future! Much like Tony Royster jr, he plays on a prodigious and mature level beyond his years. He throws in a lot of techniques from dynamics to double kick. He uses textures and grooves as well. He blends pop, rock, fusion and jazz fluidly. I see a high degree of independence and a great ability to structure a solo. Maybe I missed a skill or two, but I'd say he's ready to big time.

amazing man! loved the brush intro section

**yohin** · 11-02-2009, 06:51 PM

For me seeing something like that is really inspiring. He is the same age as me, and every time I see something like that it always drives me to work harder and strive to become the best musician I can be.

my left eye is stuck in a squint...

that was absofrickenlutely amazing!

**pastor_bob** · 11-02-2009, 07:10 PM

Wow! Now there has to be a little bit of genetics at work . . . and a whole lot of hard work!

**late8** · 11-02-2009, 07:50 PM

Great solo..thanks for the inspiration.

**oaktree137** · 11-02-2009, 08:11 PM

incredible! and only 16? that takes a lot of determination. Not only amazing at drums, but also great shownmanship.

**nio** · 11-02-2009, 08:43 PM

Whoa ! The question is...what can't this kid do? He's displayed an amazing amount of independence and stick control...not to mention fluidity and speed ! Are you sure this kid is 16? Even with the right genes, like Pastor said, there's a whole lotta hard work involved there. Amazing !!

**Russ** · 11-02-2009, 09:16 PM

i wonder if he was nervous when he was playing that

**cole1paul** · 11-03-2009, 01:08 AM

I knew it was Dylan right when I saw "16 years old." Yeah that kid's crazy.

**xweasel** · 11-03-2009, 02:00 AM

I used to always see him busking in Wellington. I'm not sure if he does that anymore, but when I did see him busking on his small little GoKit, he was amazing! He's 19 now, I want to see some more recent videos of him.

That kid didn't look nervous at all. He looked like a veteran out there !

That kid is a perfect example of what separates the great drummers from the fantastic ones. Not only did he show great skill, speed, etc, but his solo had a musical quality to it as well. Fantastic solo.

**keysanddrums** · 11-04-2009, 07:55 PM

Oh yeah, he's pretty good, I suppose.

There are some people in the world who are simply complete monsters. That one handed roll he pulls at 2:00 is the stuff of legends. Also, the salsa breakdown 4 minutes in, which he cleanly steps out of with triplets. He is a magical man. Of course, I'm 16 as well, so this is partly me saying "Ha! Us young 'uns can be legitimate musicians as well!"

**freakychris** · 11-07-2009, 09:00 PM

WOW this guy is simply amazing!!
Around 9:00 it looks sped up!!
that must have been so much practise its unreal.

He practices like 6 hours a day.

**freakychris** · 11-07-2009, 10:23 PM

thats incredible. if i practised that much i might be able to do half of what he does by the time i die :| lol.

**pastor_bob** · 11-07-2009, 10:53 PM

Welcome to Drum Chat freakychris!

Oh, and I hear ya about being able to do half of what he does by the time I die . . . maybe!

**freakychris** · 11-07-2009, 10:55 PM

thank you bob

glad to be here xD
that boy is simply epic.

**Doc_d** · 11-08-2009, 10:55 AM

That was amazing!

Is that kid huge or is that a really small bass drum?

**gonefishin** · 11-11-2009, 09:19 AM

I have to agree with all the others, talent, determination, showmanship...........he has it all.

**Keith C** · 11-11-2009, 06:20 PM

Wow!!! A touch of Thomas Lang in that solo methinks.

**RebelRed** · 11-11-2009, 07:06 PM

Kind of looks like one of my warm-up practice sessions on my drum pad.

I wish.

And just when I was getting excited about doing the first typical rock groove somewhat well . . .
