Hey it's that kid again, haven't heard anything from him in awhile. Pretty awesome for a guy his age, even if it didn't quite sound like the backing track. Great job from him.

Only 5???!!! Just wait until he developes coordination!...lol Incredible

Great.

I'm putting my kit on Craig's list.

Some of these young kids amaze the hell out of me.

The young girl, Desiree Bassett, is going to be scareing the crap out of the hot shot guitar players in a few years.

I love it because I don't have to compete with them.

**drummer** · 09-01-2011, 08:06 PM

Was that before or after you learned brain surgery and rocket science?

**yohin** · 09-01-2011, 11:22 PM

That's it...I am officially giving up drumming.

**trickg** · 09-01-2011, 11:35 PM

Meh - I'm better than that.

Just kidding - that's awesome. I hope it's not just a flash in the pan and he can keep building on it.

Some kids are just born with it, I'd say. Hope his parents fully encourage him to pursue it as a career. That was pretty damn good for his age.

perfect time to ask....hope this isn't a thread buster...generally speaking...is learning to be a drummer difficult ? Granted it's not for everyone and the caliber of one's future ability is debatable, but basically speaking for those of you with experience...is/was it hard to learn ? ( sub note to moderators as follows : if this was a thread buster are you able to " re-locate same elsewhere ? ) preferrably not trash since I would really like to know !

Nothing wrong with music prodigies imo. I don't mind a little healthy competition, it keeps my interests alive, and I welcome them warmly to my scene. Some might be inspired to rise and keep their "title", feel frustrated and want to quit, but you gotta keep doing your own thing and loving it. There's always gonna be someone better and someone worse, but there's only ever gonna be one person as good as yourself. And that person is you.

I'm 3 times his age, 6 times his size and yet he still beats me D:.

Forget giving up drumming, I'm giving up on life!

Warning: Comment above may be sarcastic in nature.

Nah, people like him inspire me. I'm going to be as good as a five year old one day.
