  • he plays good , but guys check it out my cover to get another opinion

  • Comment removed

  • @pbrs73

    I agree that emotion is the key to a great performance.

    You may want to check out superkiddrummer on YT though, as evidence that Japanese drummers can be passionate!

  • what cymbals do u have?

  • @hockeyfreak3128

    Zildjan, Paiste, and Sabian. Complete configuration detailed on the channel page.

  • if Keith Moon and Neil Peart had a son together, this is him

  • I find nothing wrong with his Drum playing at all.!!!! This young fellow is a Drumming Prodigy.!!! Excellant!!

    Sincerely,

    Arthur

  • nice ambition-not easy to do the 'chaos of Moon'...

  • This Is Awesome!!

  • the base drum is the best part. its flippen awesome

  • Great drummer but if its going to be a cover try and make it a cover and not just roll after roll

  • @Knightowl102 he has his own style

  • This kid has very quick hands! Kudos!

  • you better be in a band some day, there just isn't any good music today, we need the people with real talent fixing this problem! awesome cover

  • awesome for a 10 year old, keep drummin kiddo!!

  • I also drum my self and i've tried to play this alot...............your work on the cymbals is just amazing.its just wen your getting to those parts where its just random drum fill,to get it just like moon....you would have to play at different tempos every time, instead of just trying to fit in as many hits as possible.............but still, its excellent for your age........do you take lessons?

    awesome drumset by the way........you'll definetly go sumwere with drumming.

  • @rennieallen and u son play twisted sister too? aj pero is a monster playin' drums

  • your son is keith moon!

  • Young Keith Moon!

  • this kid ROCKS!!!!

  • I think it was great!!! Play your own style rennie!!!

  • @AKAjocey right now he is 13 I knew him in the fifth grade and dude this kid(niel) can play he rocks

  • Well done kid, hope u for fill the looney mission, world needs your kind!

  • great job, kid. however, double bass-ing doesnt sound right with some songs. "Who are you" is one of them

  • he did the same fill like three times in a row

  • what impresses me the most is that he actually have feeling in it.. not like many other young talents you see on the net that sounds like they really dont want to play but their parents forces them.. great.. =)

  • Pretty accurate for around 10 1/2, It just looks like he's 10 1/2 because I was around that height when I was 10 1/2

  • this is definitely a kid. he's barely as tall as the symbol. this is some of the best drumming i've seen from any age. he's got a great future!!! he needs to be a recording artist unless he's got a passion for something else that he's better at which is close to impossible because this kid is absolutely amazing!!

  • Brillo! He's only late back in a fraction cause he's 10! Once he's level with the height of the kit a bit more he'll have a fantastic and sought after talent!

  • i have the same kit w/o the extra drums nice cover!

  • good drumming

  • holy crap!

    im really completelly jelous!

  • legit buddy, so sick, your insane, your fills are incredible man

  • @TheChuckOfRock

    lol!

  • What a beast for such as young as he is

  • this is pretty good, but some of the fills are just too ridiculously chaotic even for Keith Moon and he doesn't come in on beat on several occasions.

  • @14ska8ordie14

    Will take the "too ridiculously chaotic, even for Keith Moon" as a complement... lol!

    Yes, re-entry is late on a couple of occasions.

  • if he can fill it...why not?

  • @rennieallen

    Well no offence, but you shouldn't. Kieth Moon was the pinnacle of on beat drumming, keeping himself sustained and controlled but at the same time crazy and over the top. The kids still a great drummer though, even at his age.

    R.I.P Kieth Moon!

  • @WelshDazzle C'mon! The Kid is just 10. Obviously he needs more practice but for his age this is amazing! I'm 15 and I can't even do that.

  • @rennieallen Yeah, he's right, fills are a little bit too "Filled" more tom hits than the original. But hey, it's still great!

  • @14ska8ordie14

    i have to disagree, keith had no pattern really apart from a general beat which this guy stuck to and he just jammed the rest but kept in time keith moon couldnt play the song the same every time, i'd say that you let this guy do what he wants, he isn't 'pretty good' he's 'great'

    put this way, he would ahve passed in a 'the who' tribute band

  • dude for being ten years old you are amazing, you will be amazing when your older....Drumming pradogy right there

  • Sick

  • Mistake or not, that was amazing. So was everything else.

  • Well, this kid is ten, and probrably use to faster paced songs. While I'll agree the fills feel a little rushed, it still sounds good.  Way to make the song your own!

  • played the riffs waaaaay too fast paist

  • I feel soooo inadequite after seeing this :(

  • holy s#$%

  • yes he did watch the video at the start he's on it

  • yeah he did. His studio drum kit had everything you could need... But in live he liked to use 3 cymbals, one ride, and 2 diff crashes.

  • so, i'm a drummer myself and you just play what's in time and whats simarlar to the song your playin unless its your own.

    pinny

  • Dude sick skills man! Superb!

  • O_O

  • I quit.

  • Keith Moon would be proud.  Those drums sing and yell!

  • @ENERGENE1  kick em over!

  • Damn even a 10 year old boy can play better than me!! :(

  • then your obvously not a drummer!

    pinny

  • Don't get me wrong, but you are kindly sitting there like a robot. A little bit more emotion wouldn't spoil the overall performance, because from my point of view emotion is very important when making music. But good drumming, you have got a lot of potential.

  • dude stfu dbag

  • Do you react to everybody who isn't licking his arse by praising hem into heaven? :V

  • Great bass drum work dude! You need to work on your timing a bit and don't rush the fills, but a great job nonetheless! And a challenging track to play along with. If you're going to drum along with another drummer, Keith Moon is probably one of the more challenging ones to drum to. Keep it up, you've got a lot of potential!

  • great dude, you are and you WILL be a great drummer...

  • wow!!! great! simply great!!! good job lad!!! compliments!

  • Can you hear those double bass strokes. This kid is great.

  • A skillful performance. Unfortunately a great amount of the appeal of this video is the obviously rare skill to age ratio that this child possesses. Nevertheless, great song choice!

  • Good Lord!!!!!

  • What about the annoying mistake at 4:38?

    Other than that I couldn't see why this wouldn't be valid as a replacement drum track to the original song, besides sound quality of course.

  • He just says that to fuck with the copyright. =]

  • holy crap this kid is amazing

  • Omg AWESOME drumming

  • i hope he joins a band and goes hardcore famous when he's older ;D

  • men you are my master

  • wow. im speechless. keep this kid going he'll be great!

  • Absolutely! Agreed!

  • Kid's gonna kick some serious butt.

  • Way to go! More toms and you will be the best 10 year old to ever play this Difficult toon.

  • u ve got to be kidding me!!!!!!awesome

  • hahaha i love this video

  • Awsome! better than most of the adults I have seen playing this! it's a very difficult song to play I think, and this kid has a HUGE amount of talent, so well done!

  • He's amazing!! Pete Townshend lives along the road from me here in Richmond, UK, I think he'd be pretty impressed!!

  • this kid has great talent , but 99% is hard work and 1% is talent

    so you must try EXTREMELY hard

  • Well done ,very good cover ,Moonie would be smiling at you !

  • Spectacular!

  • Hey-hey!

  • that's great!

    How old was he when he started out????

  • Neil started at 4 years, started lessons at 5.

  • This is a really good song for the young drummer to show off his talents. His arrangement and his ability are both quite amazing.

  • Wow..I'm not sure whether this video encourages me or discourages me.

    To say this kid's got talent is an understatement.

  • oh my god! not only hes 10 and playing like hes 15, but hes putting more into than the song already had! great job dude! keep it up!

  • Get that kids seating sorted and he'd look alot more comfortable on that kit. Damn good effort for a ten year old. Keep it up kiddo. Dad, buy him a better kit, he deserves it. I like how he's only a kid and hasn't even scratched the surface on what he can learn, watch out for him in ten years!!

  • A better kit? That's a $2000 kit. He can buy his own, if he needs anything better than that :-)

  • That's a $2000 kit!

    Damn... if only my parents could get me something like that. I'll stick to my desk for now

  • I am amazed at some of the raw talent in these kids on drums. i found this video from neils4.

    awesome.!!

    Niel Allen. Great job mate.(:-D

  • your cool

  • you rock dude you are reallly good.

    for those about to rock i salute you

  • omg... you're so amazing!

  • my is this babyshandler jr you have got it little dude

  • If this really is babyshandler jr., then I've got to talk to Mr. Shandler about helping out with the drum payments - Neils' "legal" father :-)))

    Thanks for the comment!

  • HE ROCKS, FUTURE ROCKSTAR FO SHO!

  • nice!

  • and what was the annoying mistake?

  • dang hes good but why is there a disclaimer on the vid?

  • Want to make sure to claim fair use. Others doing similar things on YT have been getting their videos taken down by the copyright owners (I am all for owners going after blatant copies, but that's certainly not what's going on here).

  • This kid kicks As*! It is inspiring my 7 year old to rip it up at his lessons.Hope my son gets as good as this kid!!

  • Great job! Keep up the good work. I'm sure Moon teh Loon is nodding his head in approval right now.

  • Please... Buy that young boy a drum set of his own... From an experianced drummer.... He is awesome!

  • Sweet!

  • Neil has a God-given talent and I'm not religious! I can almost see him driving a Rolls into a swimming pool when he grows up, keep on rocking Neil!

  • Eat your heart out Keith Moon! haha

  • Yeah! You rock! Keith is hard to play and you play it well...by throwing caution to the wind! Great work!

  • You're awesome kid. 6 stars if I could.

  • Bravo!

  • this kid is amazing! im jelous! i bet he spells better then me to ha!

  • Such a young talent reminds me very much of another rather extraordinary drummer -- Jason Bonham.

    Keep it up, kid. You're among the best drummers I've come across in a long time, especially if you stick with mastering classics and not the showy crap some people mistake for talent (like how fast you can double pedal...)

  • Maaannn! Dude you are awesome! Sorry I have commented on three of your videos and they are all awesome! Wow, keep it up man you are a great young talent. I will keep watching, and yes kids your age need to be more like you listening to older music and no stuff like the Johnas Brothers. Something I try to make my own nieces do, even if they do say that I'm stuck in the 1980's.

  • rock on little man you are a star !

  • drum on little keith moon! he's so talented. when did he start playing? awesome....simply awesome!

  • Thanks!

    Neil started playing at 4, and lessons at 5.

  • good lord that kid is playing fast at 3:00-3:15

    i couldnt believe it. does he take lessons??

  • Thanks,

    Neil does take lessons everyday. He is in school band and plays quads.

  • i've always wanted to play quads, but what with my job and ap classes...i can't sadly. it was a dream of mine since i started the drums long ago. maybe next year when i'm a senior i'll take some easier classes and not work as much!!!

    anyway this kid is great. make sure you tell him he should be honored that he gets to play quad toms and to never put down his sticks because he could make it huge!

  • Hi Maniac!

    Neil just posted a video of his school band, where he is playing quads. He is indeed blessed to be playing quads with the EMS Tiger Band!

  • I really enjoyed it. Well done!!!

  • this is really awesome

    this ten year old is really good at drumming give my regards

  • Thanks!

  • Thanks. All I did was give him the tools early.Every kid including yourself has a natural talent. The key is to find it. You're an AWESOME drummer, and I love the music you pick. It really shows how skilled you are. Keep posting!!!!

  • Sweet!!!! My son loves your playing! He is already picking up some of your tricks. Keep on Rockin' from Canada!!!

  • Hey everyone! You *have* to check out the video response of the 3 year old playing this song.

    One of the coolest things I've seen on youtube.

  • I am very impressed. Like, extremely impressed. It takes one hell of a drummer to play the way that Keith did...

    This is insane, kid, wherever you are, you're a complete drumming maniac, keep up the freaking great work!

  • Thanks!

    If you liked this, then check out "won't get fooled again"

  • Its like looking at Kieth

  • Wow! High praise indeed.  Thanks!

  • Aces HighXD

  • awesome!!!

  • ok u are sick at drums

  • kid needs a band and a record deal has a very bright future infront of him can tell you all that

  • dude he's got a really cool set, and he's awesome.

  • One of the tougher who songs to drum to, in part because Moon's own drumming was so spotty at this point and the song itself does not have a steady pace. Fitting the rolls in is very hard. At 1:55 you nailed it. That's how Zak does it. Keep at it!

  • reminds me of CSI...lol...who is his techer?

  • Neil is in-between instructors at the moment, but he has had many good instructors.

  • I hate it when people talk about CSI when they hear this song...
