Great Job! The great thing is I can see you really "feel" the rythyms and that is great. Try playing with the song with headphones too. Keep practicing and try some good instructional DVD's like Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials series and his Great Hands For A Lifetime. Most people can play rock, but great drummers learn many techniques. I think you have a good future as a drummer!
From being a teacher in this department for a decade "def not bragging" I would suggest Technique. His right hand on the Ride or the tamb is good. But when he is just playing 2 and 4 on the snare think what you're doing while that hand isn't plying, and the stoke your playing. (Sound quality...) Also he's playing the ride, (which is supposed to be loud? With the mid of his stick. Not stick bead on cymbal for correct sound.
This kid may be young, but he has a great talent on drums.you should keep up the good work and don't quit it.You have a future as a great drummer.BTW I love LP as much as you do!!!
about the "rich" comment, i doubt it, i make minimum wage, 38 hours a week supporting my wife and daughter... my wife has no job and I drop money for equipment for my studio... and I pay my bills. It's all God's work, God gave this kid fuckin talent just like he gave me permission to say fuck, stay fresh.
Great job. can tell you have been working hard. But i noticed your thumbs facing upward alot. You should take some time to focus on how you hold your drumsticks, and practicing your stroke. its important to keep your palms down, and thumbs in when playing with your wrists. otherwise you could (over time) cause damage to your wrists. Also, proper technique will allow you to be that much better! (there are some good videos here on youtube about the proper way to grip your drumsticks)
why cant people just fuck off when kids have the opportunity to get the better equipment or more equipment. God you should be thank ful this kid can use that stuff
Rich or Poor doesnt matter, it matters if you wanna work hard for your achievment. Like i did,i didnt know what to do when im 13 and right now in a 1 and a half. Im a really and i mean really great minor league baseball player. Best out of the team. So if you think you got the skills well then Just follow them until you come to a point
Hey listen, I've been drumming for two years now, so not that long. I want to be a professional more than anything in the world some day. I need to know, because there are better drummers here right now, is it better to completely relax when single sticking and rudaments and such? I only ever use my wrists unless I go around the kit. Is that a good thing? It feels comfortable but I've had no lessons so I don't know if I'm doing it's the right thing to do. Like the vid by the way :)
Given the fact that he's only 8 and already better than many people multiple times his age with way more experience, I would say this is ridiculously amazing. Major props to the kid.
@TheBassBuzzer Having rich parents doesn't make you talented. It'll get you a nice kit but not talent. This kid's a good drummer regardless of his parents income. :)
@marfanskid Except of course rich parents can pay for good lessons. Sometimes raw talent exists but look at this kid, then look at jonah rocks. That little dude has raw talent.
@marfanskid Of course he has "rhythm", but talent isn't always pure. Then again, you've always gotta be tought something from somewhere. My point, his parents paid to get him lessons to be a drummer. Everything else is him, but in a sense, his parent's wallet size can play a huge factor.
@marfanskid I wonder how many other kids in the world that most definitely may have "talent" that might not ever get to unlock that potential due to the fact that their parents don't have the cheddar to make him macaroni and cheese.
@DJSoulVOX yeah, mine too. My kit isn't as nice as his but it's still a drumkit. If my kid was serious about music and I could afford it I would definitely buy them some nice gear.
Hey everyone. Can you play the drums well. on my youtube channel check out the revolution youtube musical compilation project I started. If you can mic your set and play your ass off you could have a part on a kick as song.
Acid3s dude shut up this isn't cheap music ur just to cheap to understand it stupid this dude is probly way better then u will ever be so stop hating idiot u probly suck at drums retard
Love all the people talking shit about an 8 year olds drumming, whos been playing for for 4 months when this video was posted. I can put money on it that NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE 'TYPING' SMACK COULD PLAY BETTER THAN THIS CHILD AFTER 4 MONTHS OF PLAYING. I CAN BET THAT NOT ONE OF THOSE SAME PEOPLE IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR A THEIR OWN PARENTS TO WANT THEM TO POST A YOUTUBE VIDEO NOW!
i dont understand why people are being so hard on him he's 8 and can already do this how amazing...just wait and see what he will do in the years to come. Keep rockin out lil bro your awesome!
@acid3z hey, why don't you trying asking a baby to jack off. Development happens in stages! He's 8! He will kick ass, as he progresses. Some people are just fucking dumb! Yeah you're part of that 'some'.
Why do you have to say "MY" channel. It's your kid, he's awesome, let him do his thing. He's gonna be good, but you don't have to live vicariously through him man, come on :)
