[Thystonius]

[wiwitavera]

[yahyalilli]

[jabe75]

i have a playstation,i don't need this mommy

[therevengeofficial]

this is why i encourage children to start at about 11 to 13 because they don't turn into drum soloing freaks who are to good for everyone

[Lumium]

needs more cowbell :P

[punkcaddies]

He scare me, it's not human

[mobz]

Laughed my head off @ 08:07-08:28  - skills

[VelvetHumm]

So FabricSoftener12 where is your drum solo youtube clip???

You have the audacity to call this guy trash.

[FabricSoftener12]

If you know what your talking about then you can talk. He is not the best. He plays exactly how he did when he was nine. Sloppy. He just drops rolls and random accents and taps and they get crunched together and it sounds like poop. To me he has not improved at all his whole life. He is very very much overrated now because of his achievements when he was nine. But now he is trash compared to the real best drummers in the world.

[Nitram916]

@FabricSoftener12 I agree that it's a little sloppy and that he hasnt gotten better but you can't call him trash for that xD

[Mrgoodfella2468]

@FabricSoftener12 why are you trollin on an accomplished musician? hes doing what he loves and you should respect him for that. now im not gonna bash on you but i do wonder if you play percussion.

[nengstro]

He plays the same as when he was 9.

[DrummerboySG97]

i agree w/ hektikboyz21

[Howage1]

Go Kid Go! Jazz or not Gretsch or not, lay down da beats like that and get noticed.

[DeafLad2011]

correct me if im wrong but isnt this in fast jazz style sort of thing???? i mean when he was 7 he was playin drums along with a big jazz band in the background

[roughtyder]

@DeafLad2011 yep... he is the one!

[M0lk]

does he have BAND made songs?

I enjoyed so much from 1:22 to 3:33, would like to hear more stuff like that.. the rest of the video was impressive... but... yeah, i know he's J. Armen... everybody knows he knows how to play drums... i would love to see if he can play a song.

[Sonsofpioneer]

@M0lk

Listen to some Frank Zappa :D

[M0lk]

@Sonsofpioneer i said: i would love to see if HE can play a song...

[roughtyder]

Gretsch drums... one of the most renowned custom-made drums from the US! =)

[sergiosigoni]

@roughtyder

yep great performance but that seems to be more a DW kit than a Gretsch... ;)

[datsunguy89]

@roughtyder There DW's

[GNARLSON]

shitty sounding drums though.

get this guy a gretch

[mpdomi]

@whitt0111 apparently you've never seen Cobus Potgieter or Vandrum. He's fast but he's no where near the best.

[whitt0111]

best that ever will be and ever was

[CirusDaVirus3]

im convinced this guy has sold his soul lol. he's been a prodigy since he was really young

[01laris]

sounds good to me.

[lovetoplaydrums2day]

HE IS THE BEST DRUMMER IN THE WORLD NO DOUT.BETTER THE FREAKEN NEIL PERT!!!

[lovetoplaydrums2day]

HE IS AMAZING DOES HE TEACH? DOES HE HAVE A CD OUT WITH THIS BAND?

[killeroctian]

HOLY SHIT! Watch his newest one. IT'S THE EXACT SAME THING!

18 years and nothing new ='0 breaks my heart

[Han1147]

Rush cover Band Drummer?

[oliviasnowlong]

Not impressed really... he can hit the same thing over and over... yehaw...

Wow... Mike Portnoy would shred this guy relentlessly, seriously who does this guy think he is? Neil Pert? pfft... rip-off...

[Jaythedrummerman]

Enough with this hes the greatest no hes the greatest no hes the greatest BS. We are drummers or fans of drummers or musicians or fans of musicians. We are all one big loud community people haha. lets praise everyone for what they do.

[sociallyfixed]

RBELLOUS Im with you man! Jacob's one of kind!

[RBELLOUS]

Jacob is undoubtably the greatest and most talented drummer on the face of the earth today because of his relentless dedication to perfecting his art and because he KNOWS that his talent streamlines through him from source and is a gift from God.

[MrMrDrummerboi]

@RBELLOUS man are stupid tony Royster will kill that guy anyone will Buddy rich Chambers ur stupid damn how stupid are man

[DholProdigy]

he's drumset sounds as gay as the way he plays! Not a good drummer!!!

[trippystrobelights]

-musical boner-

[65DegN]

Good stuff. He does just fine with a band. Also some people tend to think that drum solo's are about impressing people or showing off but for some unexplainable reason do not think that way about singer or guitar solo's.

When I do a drum solo I'm just having fun and hoping that others find it entertaining.

[NLRchargingwildcat]

the lord must have a good drumset up there because this kid is amazing!!!!

[Flyfar420]

If Im not mistaken this is rock n roll correct? He said he would never play it cause it m akes people crazy. It sounds like rush with the guitar

[Solidus005]

he probably gets a boner when he plays

[Flyfar420]

@Solidus005 I get a boner when he plays this kids amazing.

[ImSoDumbMyHeadHurts]

He ought to promote himself more.

[Giovani22]

I think that if your playing in a hard rock band /metal then your solos should sound hard /metal instead of a lot of cow bells or a latin sound ,all dipending what your band plays

[unclevirus79]

Armenian Dream Theater))))

[Gualyv]

eh..This dude sounds better when he does his drum solos, with a band not so much

[flyingcolour7]

fucking extreme riffs!! heavey stuff!
