Foo Fighters - The Pretender, 6 Year Old Drummer, Jonah Rocks

[ByleKutler]

I must say he has a lot of talent, but as a drum instructor of younger children watch out for the incorrect fulcrum. He will get better rebound speed and control as well as prevent many cases of tendinitis. He is an amazing player at such a young age, I cannot wait to listen to him in the many years to come of his career.

[riofan5]

HOLY FUCK THIS KID IS SO FUCKING AWESOME. I WANNA PARTY WITHTHIS GUY!!

[Nikomax1018]

sounds awesome but tighten your snare it sounds a bit better but amazing job

[valeriyc2]

Do a cover of everlong!!

[TheDragonfire789]

I LOVE DE SCREAM AT DE END

[pepelincecum]

Dave is the guitarist for Foo Fighters?... He was the drummer for Nrivana only -_____-

[gonzo5648]

@pepelincecum Dave drummed for way more than Nirvana. He pulls mostly string duties now, but the list of his drum work is as extensive as any dedicated drummer.

[sweetarmor97]

Holy crap I couldn't even wipe my butt at that age let alone play the drums. I hope that one day when Dave grohl can't drum anymore, you'll be the one to replace him. But if Dave grohl does stop drumming TAKE HIS PLACE, OR THE WORLD WILL END!!!!!

[sweetarmor97]

Ksjs

[Bossman677ify]

in the begging of this video there is snare and the foot peddle the kid is just using the snare

[HandaSyuhada]

Wooooooow Awesome..All The Best For U Lil' Man....

[LianaNinja16]

I reckon that Dave should meet Jonah, and someone should film it so i can see it cos i love Dave when he is around kids :D

Good Job Jonah!! Stunning!! :D

[marksparkes1]

Amazing. He's so cool. His future career is set so long as he can find a good band. All the best for the future.

[jewels13131313]

thats awsome keep it up keep playing foo fighters u rock lil man :)

[The228Bassplayer]

You gotta band?

[tumbielovely1]

[TalkToTheBody]

jeez this little boy is going to kick ass in some band one day

[MrWrightboy95]

he is 10 years younger than me, but he's way better than i'll ever be!

[verycrazy4fastcars]

[themadmallard]

[gwoodcock38]

[Nosirrah002]

child drum prodigy !!!!!!

[StreetPunkLivesOn]

shit me at that age i was more interested in putting crayons up my nose :P

[Mudsins24]

Dave Grohl is a older Jonah

[32OrtonEdge32]

This kid is officially my new favorite person. He'll probably replace Taylor Hawkins in the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl in Them Crooked Vultures when they're all 60+ and have arthritis and whatnot. Don't stop rockin', Jonah!

[TheBassplayer120]

Jonah is a young Dave Grohl

[TheBassplayer120]

Jonah is a young Dave Grohl

[mnkybwoy]

i have no idea how you could dislike this?!

[Neo2681]

Not only good taste in music but a good drummer as well!

[SimplyMariahElise]

can i just say that your son had me in my dorm room, SCREAMING at the top of my lungs because i was simply excited at his talent???? not only can he play the drums, but he is HAPPY ! && that has to be the best gift a parent can receive from their child is for them to find something that makes them TRULY happy && they be damn good at it. keep on rocking Jonah, your amazing ! kisses times infinity !

love,

Carmen ♥♥

[flipparr]

[emilowich]

You've got all those mics, and you use the camera mic?

[JonahRocksOfficial]

@emilowich Do not use the camera mic.

[scenelove101]

@JonahRocksOfficial Wow he is very talented! Not to mention this is my favorite song and he just made it a whole lot better! :)

[kittehhatetube]

Give this a few years for his fills to get a little cleaner and will make crazy awesome drummer /nod

[rolipolirocks]

He should be the new Avenged Sevenfold drummer

[trevormooriss]

[TD31093]

One person can't spell "jealous"

[RAKKLIF]

i would like to know if his parents are musicians....

[kampuels]

ROCK IT ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!

[Mcbrimmzsauce]

Amazing job!!! I would recommend to use proper technique in the holding of the stick to avoid issues in the development of his hand, but really this child is going places! xD

[TheMontcan]

that kid can go!!

[Nickpatient]

Would be more awesome without the double bass. :D

[209celtics]

he makes it look easy!!!

[KabeFooFighters]

Genio el pibito!!! Si el video es viejo, lo que debe tocar ahora...

[8080Ace]

Great technique for his age!

[hicks727]

Does he know the lyrics of a song when he plays it.

[MegaTSkillz]

The five people who disliked this video have no heart nor the eye for raw talent.

[MegaLittleBrain]

Jonah deserves much more views, he could be world's #1 drummer for a few years :D Greetings from Croatia!

[ditto325]

Anyone who dislikes this kid's drumming is just jealous they can't play as good as him. The kid is a beast!

[beelway]

Faith in our future has been restored.

[JoeyFreak1]

[JoeyFreak1]

@JonahRocksOfficial Nice i have a 9 inch sabian

[HuGeEO1]

@JonahRocksOfficial how many drum kits has he got?

[JonahRocksOfficial]

@HuGeEO1 3 kits.

[gwilym94]

@JonahRocksOfficial Why? Surely you only need 1 kit for rock?

[JonahRocksOfficial]

@gwilym94 Jonah has his original Ludwig Jr. kit, the SJC kit in this vid, and a fullsize SJC 4 piece kit that Jonah uses when he plays gigs.

[MegaFunkymonkey99]

2 people don't have sons that can play drums

[GagnezTV]

Whoa! This young man gets down!!

-G

[MrOlivergold]

Can u by T-shirts ?

[JonahRocksOfficial]

@MrOlivergold Yes, click the link on Jonah's Channel page. $20 including shipping to Canada and the USA.

[spursfan112]

@JonahRocksOfficial Ships to the UK?

[JonahRocksOfficial]

@spursfan112 Click on order and then ask what shipping to the UK is. :)

[spursfan112]

@JonahRocksOfficial Cheers!

[jacksonrussell1]

he's great. jonah's the best

[eddierocket72]

The wire on his headphones seem to be gettin in his way a bit you should get the wire behind his back :D

[MajorMoses1]

This kid keeps getting better and better. But does he still like the Who? He still adds Keith Moon style fills to every song, but after Won't Get Fooled Again, hes only done Who Are You. Has he tried out Young Man Blues because I think he'd enjoy it if he doesn't lose his mind on those opening fills. The only thing would be choosing which live version to follow. Otherwise, I think one of the best drum songs for the Who is Amazing Journey. I look forward to hearing more stuff from you!

[MegaTCZ]

Jonah u rock!!! i want to see u play bat country

[smsnipes1991]

hey! i'm an upcoming artist also it'd be great if everyone could check out the cover i did thanks!

[TheBANDEMIC]

you guys should see if hed like to play a song with blast beats and break downs =]

[Galasholet]

The kid was literally born to rock !

[metallicadrummer666]

does he want a second bass drum to make his kit look bigger? i have a spare red one

[Apploplexie]

2 people are have no life,and are jelous

[fifilafoo]

ahaha that is one cute little cheeky smile!

[koningJordi95]

yeah in his teens....he is going to be one kick ass drummer....he is so good for a 6 year old!!!

and cool cause you don't see that much black people listen to foo fighters and that kind of music :)

[Skippeh123]

Where do you find the drum heads?

[JonahRocksOfficial]

@Skippeh123 The heads are Evans Onyx Heads. Online music stores should have them or email Evans directly and tell them you saw Jonah Rocks using them. Cheers! :)

[Mattaaayyy]

jeez, this is genius! How much did the kit + cymbals & hardware set you back? Can't be cheap! :O

[ZombiHoBoAttac]

OMG...I hope he makes it big- with talent like that @ 6y/o he should! I've jammed w/ grown men who can't even play that well- for real tho! My son is 6 & all he cares about is damn playstation...lmao

[AuddieDrummer]

Hey I have a good suggestion for what he should play. He should try and play Staight Out of Line by Godsmack, thats a challange.

[AuddieDrummer]

[junglingo]

A-Mazing!

[benheiss]

This kid is going to be a drum GOD by age 10

[95CallumA]

wow.

nuf said

[isthisthingontest123]

You rock man!

[ehatch94]

Can Jonah give me drum lessons?haha

[mcChafeAlot]

I wonder if Jonah knows he's internet famous? Absolutely superb, i very much look forward to the rest of his career

[jaystix]

I wish I'd started playing as young as this lad.

He's excellent and my hat is tipped to you young Sir.

[wurzeluk]

He he he, awesome - at 6 years old, I was lucky if I could pick my nose accurately, and Jonah is this good?? Excellent job with the improv at the end, and I woke the wife up giggling at the scream on the end.

[TheMurphydog3]

I cant even play rock band

[thatgoodrummer]

i like this song but now that i heard this cover i love it

[jbaby007]

very talented young man

[derekchamberlin]

this is so awesome! i love this kid!

[SiimsCrystal]

Is it normal that the beggining of the song makes me think of Stairway to Heaven ? :P

[mizshae]

Sick...

[MahatKC]

The scream at the end made me remember that he is just 6 years old. I totally forgot that during the video...

[0BLACKBEAR0]

sounds great. I'm trying to play the pretender for some time now, but I ain't half that good xD

[michaelalowther]

he's awesome now, when he's older he's going to be an insane drummer (insanely good i mean)

[ColdBlooded97]

Go dave ghrol!

[joshkosh95]

Man I love watching this kid play! So full of heart when he drums, he really gets into the groove and rocks out, maybe its because of his name or something :) The best part about it is that he really looks like he is enjoying himself!

[schlafanzyk]

4:35 letterman would hire him just for that brilliant punchline cymbal hit

[1403Tristan]

Omg that is amazing

[MUSICMAN123789]

he is getting alot better with his double bass i see!

[Ash6777]

That was really good. Keep up the good work.

[CleburneZEROSk8er]

This kid is truly amazing

[petitchien2004]

lolol hes very good for 6 years old :P

[krourou2]

... Wow. This is one of my favorite songs! At first, the drums start off simple and innocent enough, but get far enough into the song and it just breaks out into full swing. Just another reason I like this song. Jonah really does this (and other songs) a bit of justice; most people play guitar or piano covers, but only a few have the guts to do the drums. You go, kid!
