My boy is almost 16 months old and he loves your videos dude.

[ritsch]

[fckth3systm]

Thats awesome. Its amazing how natural a reflex it is for us to want to bang on stuff. I have to say the headphones are the cutest part, the way they keep slipping.

props to you man, shes gonna be one hell of a drummer lol.

[CBRansom]

Oh sure! Daddy get's the nice recording studio mix, but baby girl has to live with camcorder mic!

Brotha seriously, you are one of the cleanest drummers I've ever heard. Your hardest work ahead of you is not who wants you, it's who you want!

God gave you the talent, now go and serve Him with it!

Be blessed!

Category: Music

DAUGHTER!!!

[fadastic]

Dude...what time signature was that in?!

[TamaDrummer0]

I think it was 11/7.9 I little bit better than Danny could play. :D Lmfao, Anyone what a beautiful daughter you have there!

[Scarface066]

Eh, she plays better than me xD

[nedak]

those roles are amazing!

[Sephiroth151]

she's a beast! seriously did you see try to keep going barehanded after losing the sticks? BONZO style baby!

[frogswallop]

Your child has developed an ability to play odd time signatures - MEGA KUDOS

[bassist1212]

hell she is better than me at drums

[OneBlazedDood]

Awesome :D 5*'s.

Go Delaney!

[ToolKid21]

how come your kit sounds so different?

[matter311]

This sound is just the mic on the cam.

[Multibomber]

SHe needs to work on her stick height

[Sephiroth151]

matter what are you thinking man? The ramifications of unleashing her talent will cause heads to explode in a few years!

It is seriously awesome though that you're trying to get your daughter started so early...I wish my parents would have been thoughful enough to let me try an instrument at such a young age.

[Berryr23]

I got a feeling in about 10 yrs. your little girl is gonna be rippin across a set....she has an amazing talented teacher....teach the young one the basics.. sticking, rudiments, paraditels, double paradittels, flamacues, etc......I wanna see her playin swiss army triplets....and just buzzing through like a 7 stroke roll...ha ha make it happen teacher show her the great feeling of rockin out don't let her grow up and be a hip-hop club rat.

[tdog420187]

You got some pretty ladies in your life man! keep music alive! teach your little girl how to play.... Your a great drummer. Sorry it took me so long to find you on here but I'm glad I did. Tool is my fav band ever. very technical and you pull it off. your great and your family is great.. best of luck and greatest of health to all of you. peace out n rock on!

[Dmully]

one thing ive seen from several drummers is that they start their rack toms with the lower drum first then have the higher one next. why? any particular reason?

[IPD07]

That smaller one isnt a tom. More like a timbale or something :D

[IPD07]

Or a Piccolo tom. :D

[Dmully]

thats besides the point though. wouldn't you stay with the pattern and have the sounds get progressively get lower and arrange them in their order of decreasing pitch?

[matter311]

Just to help create some fresh tom patterns instead of the same ole' same ole'.

[brileycambio]

ROCK N ROLL!!

[petersims411]

I'm so jealous.....getting to rip up an awesome kit at that age!!

[teddyz2112]

nice!!!! she's a natural!

[squeedum]

geez...3 minute solo? talk about self-indulgent!!

lol...awesome!

[wasabisohot]

nice one! thx for sharing!

[HoboCabbage]

good call on the ear protection, babies ears are super sensitive to permanent damage at that developing age.

[muysfsu]

she adorable matter...be carefull she may surpass you one day :P

[calvinfornia25]

shes great. in a few years, she will become better, and well.

[Timithos]

Nice. In a 3 min video it looks like she gained skill towards the end. Keep her going!

[bizichyld]

Sorry to say...she really puts you to shame, Matter.

[toolfan488]

awsome.i wish my parents would have started me playing younger.best of luck to you and you family man.

[namejimmy]

[ryan4130]

i also think it's funny how her sticks are longer than her arm.

[jakamake]

cute family,u know my son started very young too,he just recently won his school talent show at the age of five,then I made the mistake of buying him a playstation,no more drumming.

[reflectionist]

I saw this video when you first uploaded it, and then it became unavailable, and then it was back up.

I enjoyed it a lot. That's the stuff life is made of right there, man.

[katbrookes]

[matter311]
