Nickelback - Figured You Out, 7 Year Old Drummer, Jonah Rocks

[Focazm]

Cool kid. The fills are a bit weak and you miss the snare somtimes but other wise really good! Im not trying to be mean or anything Im just giving advice on what to work on. You sound great :)

[NickRoelsConcerts13]

Hope you had an awesome birthday Jonah! :)

[RisetoReason]

THIS KID IS AWSEOME!, do you guys live around windsor by any chance? because i was at the guitar shop and there was a kid that looks just like jonah rocking out on the drums.

[JonahRocksOfficial]

@RisetoReason No, not Jonah. From the W.Coast.

[jdrum12]

Insanely good!! There's nothing he can't play..He's got a great memory and his feel is dead on..amazing!! The future is looking bright for this young star!!!!!

[maueastwood227]

greaaaat!, you should try dead memories by slipknot

[eman61529]

I would like to see Jonah play would by alice in chains or spoonman by soundgarden... great job little guy keep rockin'!!!!!

[xeareawolff]

Hey Jonah! Just wanted to say your really awesome and never stop drumming,no matter what haters say. Im turning 14 next month and learning how to play drums and you are my biggest inspiration! Can you give me some tips? Thanks man, keep rocking!

[beeniefide]

@xeareawolff I find it strange that you're twice his age and yet you call him your biggest inspiration. It speaks volumes about just how bright a prospect Jonah is though. :)

[monschimaus04]

Wow!

[27john182]

Despite my deep hatred for Nickleback, this video is nothing short of epic.

[okiedudeswede]

you know, it makes me wish that my parents had started me off drumming at tthat age.... can you imagine how good he will be in a few years... he is a new aaron spears or tony royster jnr. or terry bozzio or anyone of the big guys..... DUDE, rock on and God Bless..... ps. merry Chirstmas :)

[crabmanfl]

another great video from Jonah. He should check out Primus. I'd love to see him do Tommy the cat, John the Fisherman, or Jerry was a racecar driver.

[kiki09lite]

i just found Jonah (5years old) in utube since my 5 years old son take a drum course, to inspire him. it's been a few days ago... im surprised i found a new vid of 7 years old Jonah today...! it could be so usefull, thanks!!!

[SmokyFrosty]

I seriously cant imagine how good hes going to be when he can hold his sticks ;) and is heavy enough to use the pedals :L

[karmasnan]

Can't believe he's 7 already.He's just too cute!

[SweetZombiJesus]

Terrible band, but good job by Jonah. Been listening for a couple of years now, I can't imagine how good he will be by the time he hits his teens.

[number1hombre]

He'd should play "in bloom" by nirvana! Please please pleaseee!! And bring in a guitarist to play the solo. That would be the coolest video ever. Thumbs up so jonah can see!

[keeko149345678]

[shannonrae39]

[allmytcane]

Always a great job lil buddy! Keep on rockin! Cheers!

[capostatus937]

That's only 4 years .LOL. If you say so....What are his favorite bands then and please don't say all of the ones he covers

[JonahRocksOfficial]

@capostatus937 Jonah has known how to use a computer since he was 3. He used to and still surfs YouTube listening to music and picking the songs he wants to play. I dont think Jonah has ever played a song I have suggested to him. It's all Him!

BTW, this is all about having fun and the music so why wouldn't you let pick and play whatever he wants.

[capostatus937]

@JonahRocksOfficial Thankyou , that kinda answers my question. Is it really that hard to believe that I am astonished by his musical knowledge at an extremely early age?

[JusticePetitioner]

Happy belated B-day Jonah!!!!

[capostatus937]

who picks the songs he covers. there's no way he listens to all these different bands at 7

[JusticePetitioner]

@capostatus937 Jonah does pick all the songs he covers.

[capostatus937]

@JusticePetitioner so your tellin me he discovers the bands all by himself? he's only 7, most of the music he covers is older than him

[JonahRocksOfficial]

@capostatus937 Yes, Jonah picks all the songs. He's been listening to Rock music since he was 3.

[JusticePetitioner]

@capostatus937 Kids do listen to the radio, kids do listen to the music their parents / parents friends listen to. Kids do watch movies where music is incorporated. They do watch TV.

He has a natural talent and picks up songs easily.

[capostatus937]

@JusticePetitioner you have to be retarded to think that a 7 year old picked up on all the bands he covers just by listenin to the radio, or wathcin tv. Most of the stuff he covers is only found on the internet . Not to mention that the songs he covers would've been on the radio around the time he was a baby or before he was born

[JusticePetitioner]

@capostatus937 You act like he has covered 1000's of artists. Get over yourself in your total lack understanding of what this kid is capable of. Dont call me retarded because you are to slow comprehend it.

[capostatus937]

@JusticePetitioner This kid has covered more artists than any other person on Youtube that i've seen. Correct me if I'm wrong. And what's more amazing is that he is the youngest by far and covers the most bands i've seen by far. If you don't think that's incredible , you have to be retarded.

[JusticePetitioner]

@capostatus937 Others do cover many different artists. The reason its 'so shocking' for your simple self is cause he is young. You need to explore to musical side of Youtube more.

From your comments the type of people you watch on Youtube are one dimensional and play one style.

Welcome to the other side of Youtube were musicians and singers are versatile.

[capostatus937]

@JusticePetitioner actually I was shocked when I first seen this kids vids, and i'm sure plenty of other people were too

[capostatus937]

@JusticePetitioner Don't act like this is normal. This kid is a prodigy

[JusticePetitioner]

@capostatus937 Hey look who finally caught up. I guess me telling you HE does pick out his own music makes sense to you now.

[capostatus937]

@JusticePetitioner So basically your tellin me that this kid is nothin special , their are many others like him on Youtube?

[JusticePetitioner]

@capostatus937 I love how you turn your ignorance into me downplaying Jonah.

YOU my friend questioned Jonahs abilities. I set you straight. I may have left out Jonah also surfs the net, my apologies. The original comment still stands. HE picks out HIS own music.

Move on.

[capostatus937]

@JusticePetitioner I was just defending the kid, you were downplaying him and you know it. I set YOU straight

[capostatus937]

@JusticePetitioner Also I NEVER questioned his abilities. I am AMAZED at his abilities unlike you who basically sayin " woopty doo, there are plenty of people that cover many artists on youtube"

[JusticePetitioner]

@capostatus937 Just go back through the comments to the comment I replied to. You said theres no way... no way... he does this himself. After calling me retarded twice you now want to make it seem like I am dissing Jonah. 

Get lost.

[JonahRocksOfficial]

@JusticePetitioner OK, that's enuff guys. Lets get along. :)

[JusticePetitioner]

@JonahRocksOfficial I apologize to viewers who have to look at comments that take away from what great music he does.

It is just to bad people do question him and then take offense when corrected.

[JonahRocksOfficial]

@capostatus937 OK, that's enuff guys. Lets get along. :)

[capostatus937]

@JonahRocksOfficial I apologize, but i couldn't let them get away with those comments basically sayin Jonah's one of many . He's pretty unique IMO

[dapperdan5454]

this kid freakin ROCKS man! This kid has like blows me away since the very beginning. keep rockin man!

[ClaytonCampbell100]

happy b-day keep up the good work!!! have a safe and fun christmas!! :)

[DrummingOneX]

dude, this kid blows me away. he's going to do something so incredible someday. his parents must be so freakin proud. keep up the good work little man

[misterpc23]

The best part is he won't know what this song is about for like 5 more years hahaha. Great job! Happy bday btw!

[imoverthecuckoosnest]

3:52 - signature move

[arthurxx666]

[flip21band]

[TheNAPmusic]

this kid needs to be in a freaking band 

[dcowboys4lyf]

its been amazing watching jonah grow up from a little 3 year old who wld have a few mistakes here and there to this where its like watching a full on proffesional jonah shld never give this up he's gonna get so far in life thru it

[Louisex52]

amazing 

[JonBoyHartz]

Thumbs up for Jonah.... Thumbs down for Nickelback.

[Mircosoft93]

Happy birthday Jonah!

[CharGuitarGirl]

Whats Jonahs verdict on Jammit?? Personally I'm loving it!

Great drumming!!

[JonahRocksOfficial]

@CharGuitarGirl He LOVES it! He's got about 6 songs in his Ipod so far and he is blown away listening to all of the drum parts he could not hear without it. Also when we recorded this song yesterday without drums he said, and I quote "I feel like Daniel (Adair) cuz it's just me playing drums".

Of course when it comes to playing the song he still Jonahizes it with overdone fills and cymball crashes, but hey, it's all about having fun.

[KillerVibes]

@JonahRocksOfficial Music is all about being creative and unique.. Doesn't matter what music you listen to, you're listening to someones personality! And you can see Jonah's personality coming through in his ability.. I'm enjoying watching his progression in his talent, but also your progression in the mastering of his drums with the music :D At this rate, you could be his producer and music engineer! big ups :)

[number1hombre]

Yesss finallyyy!

[climz1989]

are his parents musicians???? they MUST be

[Fduffle]

my band needs a drummer, hint hint

[denverstapleton]

happy late birthday!!

[bockschpower]

happy birthday :)

[wadecmoses]

[RocketUboat]

Jonah is so cool :D

[Clancedrums]

congratulations jonah!

[numbuskull]

jonah doesn't take lessons, lessons take him

[hotdrumchick]

I just decided to adopt Little J.

Sorry Dad!!

[seawind0721]

This kid just keeps getting better!

[officerpoopnard]

when he's 20.....

[ADivyneMind]

i can see him in a band on #1 haha. amazing job

[1995jet1995]

Jonah never fails to impress me! Keep up the good work.

He really has a future in drumming.

[THEEuross12]

this dude should play some dragonforce

[gutterdocmd]

Jonah, every video I see of you just makes my day. Music is such a powerful medium and you are just mastering it! Keep it up Jonah, I hope you know how awesome your dad is too buddy....

[MyTimco]

Congratulations with your birthday :)

[guitarbaseballguy16]

can you do Gives You Hell by AAR ik its on jammit.

[guitarbaseballguy16]

idk why but it kills me that i don't know what jonahs dad looks like aha, next vid show yourself aha :) nice job jonah :}

[TheNewNewfie]

Sick! I remember when he did this about two years ago and it was my favourite!

[DCXRevolution]

Great taste for music! Alternative lover here. I hope he doesn't turn into another Justin Bieber.

[PwngeTrooper]

Dang, he is getting big.

[scbene]

WOW, you rock lil Jonah!!!

[candydeca8]

this kids gonna go far and big

[jacobtheguitarfreak]

Please get this boy some jazz records!

[Stiny114]

It's sad that a 7 year old has a better kit than I do. BTW, I'm 14.

[jacobtheguitarfreak]

@Stiny114 I'd say that he deserves it, considering that he gets over 20k views per video. The kid's a natural and we'll definitely be seeing him playing sold out shows around the nation someday.

[eBeauLive]

@Stiny114 Thats not sad at all, this kid has SOO much potential and deserves everything he's playing on.

[Stiny114]

@eBeauLive True. I'm just saying when I was 7 all I had was a gameboy. I didn't get a kit until I was like 13. Snare, bass, toms, hi-hat, crash, ride. That's it.

[eBeauLive]

@Stiny114 Don't feel bad, when I was 7, all i had was a yo-yo. I started playing drums on my brothers kit that he got for christmas & eventually bought my first drum kit myself. All my drum equipment I have now has been purchased with my own money. Gotta put your all into what ever your passion is.

[Rushfan551]

@Stiny114

Same.

[detroitgeno1]

Hope yuo had a wonderful B-Day Jonah your a cool kid with an amazing talent keep having fun,and all your drems will continue to come true

[TheMattSchabel]

argreed. Nickelback is awful. however he made em seem pretty good

[klopmarick]

his drum teacher must be amazed

[JonahRocksOfficial]

@klopmarick Jonah does not take lessons. His teachers are all of the drummers in the songs he plays. But Yeah, you're right, they are all amazed. :)

[68redneck67]

Shit song. Shit band. But this kid is a good drummer

[wesmatron]

Superb

[Metafari]

i love how he still does the his scream at the end :D

may you upload a blank drumrecording sometime, i mean without the original song?

[unbornserenity]

HE TURNED 7!!!!

[Hellion6325]

I won't be surprised if this kid gets better than John Bonham later lol..

[kinsjon]

Truly gifted. Jonah absolutely ROCKS!!

[thebestever5050vids]

I mean I've been watching your videos sice age 3, not 4, LOL!

[thebestever5050vids]

Awesome! I've seen you since you were 4, and your already 7! Your getting big! Thanks for accepting my friend requist!

[hieee1234567]

Awesome :D. I have a feeling he is going to be the world's best drummer XD. Rock on Jonah!

[SimplySomethingCrew]

ive been watching since he was 3

[KweenSmith]

Awesome!
