[israel74]

[Dahstin]

You little fucker!



[MeYouView]

You rock! Keep it up!!!! :)

[trsjr70]

Like times Eleventeebillion

[vj2469]

very much enjoyed this...rock on kid !!

[yusufmhassan]

This kid is gonna be great if he keeps at it. I was only half this good at 10 and couldn't nail Tom Sawyer until 12-13

[MultiTbeck]

Pretty good.

[AzNpowangeFTW]

At least he tried, I can give em that

[KrymsynVyxyn]

You're raising him good, teaching him what real music sounds like.

[reine71658]

Come on, be honest now, is your real last name Rich or Palmer :).I am a drummer and that is excellent work even if you weren't to consider the age.That just adds the amazing component to it. Keep on rollin' little drummer boy.

[CHHSE1986]

There are 233 jealous adults who could only pray to play like this kid.

[JohnnyChimpo84]

this kid doesnt have chops

[CultOfKingJeff]

kick ass, he nailed the 7/8...i couldn't when i was 6.

[mclobnob]

My other drumming videos? you mean my bad ass son's drumming videos

[JewLoco]

I've made a vaginal drumset insert, so there, my kid is better!

[debbieswinyer]

Wow what a star you are!

[rsmrtiddles]

At 6 years old the sky is the limit for this kid! Keep it up and you will be one of the best ever!

[HotDiggityDawger]

Awesome, Very good!!

[decor8or911]

AMAZING TALENT!! VERY GOOD! Keep up the hard work and you will go VERY FAR! Thanks to you the Parents that encourage this kind of Love of music with your child!

[sldl04]

Damn!!!! Great job!!! Keep it up!!!!

[bracketracer2000]

this kid is gonna be one the great ones!!! if you can scrape up the cash, he needs to get used to monitors at some point. sound monitors. i think he's worried about his head set falling off. my hats off to you as a parent for the encouragement you give your boy. my parents made fun of me and hid my drum sticks. my uncle and grama bought me my first set when i was 8.

[FancyBlueShirt]

Holy crap a white Asian~!!!!

[mitchellkpeterson]

Very very good

[reddb100]

damn that's good!!

[jjkhawaiian]

he'll be a damn good drummer when he grows up to be 10...keep up the fine work, young man!

[july5th]

how can anyone dislike this?? hes fucking 6!!! when I was 6, i was watching xmen on saturday mournings and I thought that took skill.

[georgec2468]

Awesome !! Does he go to MIT yet ??

[TerriHogan1]

I would rather see a real kit but alright still good.

[slipknotftw1000]

wow fucking awesome !! u must be very proud of your kid hes great!

[dorfus71]

I can remember how many years of practice it took before I was able to play any Rush songs, and I can remember how long it took to learn to play this song. I was 16. I remember my right arm/wrist/tendons feeling like they were on fire with a minute to go. Now I'm 40, haven't played in ages. I can't even air drum this as well as this young lad now!!

Very well done indeed, your future looks bright!!

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

kid rules

[blastbeatingjerk666]

hes gonna be a shredder!!!

[bamboosa]

This drum bit is difficult for Neil to play. This kid is amazing.

[TheMichaelDenny]

Go little dude go !!!!!!

[live4thecarnival]

Am I the only person that will never watch that "Crazy Drummer Girl" video that's always recommended?

[maxquad21]

the next drum hero in the making

[castoff231]

fucking amazing kid

[ifutureman]

I'd rather hear him play a more basic song really well than stumble through an expert track like Tom Sawyer. The kid's obviously got talent and a lot of potential, but he's not ready for Neil Peart.

[iNNeViTable1]

My God There No Fucking Drummer Better Than This 6 Year Old Kid!!!

dun-dun-da-dunn....

It Ain't Easy Being Little!

[schmoab]

I have those headphones.

[conchobar0928]

omg. i cracked up during the end of the guitar solo. even neil peart says that's hard to play.

[HaggardEffect]

Dude you have a prodigy there. Don't let him go to waste.

[drum1805]

ROCK OUT!!!! Good job lil Neil!!! :)

[MrAnimefan069]

Holy Shit!!!!! wow 

[nrgman2014]

DANG IT *throws stiks across room*

[ebflip26]

this is sick!

[dcs002]

Those K240s are a little big for him...



[thedrummererik99]

thats awesome. he musta had a lot of energy for his wrist bein so tight! awesome job!!

[justentime77]

For being SIX, good job little man! We'll be hearing from you.

[TopGun8993]

Hey little man, I'm a 40 year old self taught drummer. I've had my own set for 15 years. You are better than me!!!! I won't even attempt Tom Sawyer!!!! You have your whole life ahead of you!!!!! KEEP ON ROCKIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was beautiful!!!!!

[breakinknucklesruler]

@TopGun8993 i hope your not serious haha

[1parla]

Wow!!! He was awesome!

[bakerfam1000]

That's legit

[fishjnky]

you ROCK kid

[JabaMan2009]

AWESOME!! Got a little mini-Neil!!! Great job!

[candirenee74]

amazing!!!



[jjjay999]

great job! and, if the kids gonna play drums, he may as well start with one of the best of all time.

[pinedrummer]

You see! not everything was lost

[MrRandomWindstorm]

hey dad adjust his head set so he can concentrate ,great talent.

[MrBigoutlaw]

Well done lad, if you like what you do, keep on doing it!

[htool11462]

great job!

[ty2569]

that is awsome

[cmdrums2112]

if i saw a six year old doing just the bass and snare part, id be amazed, this is just over the top!

[MagellanOfBass]

Solo section made my jaw drop...

[kalloused]

Most of the so called "bands" today who make millions of dollars can't even play drums that well. Very very cool. Loved it.

[coolperson837]

at 6 yrs old,if ur playing drums to RUSH u have great ambition in life...ROCK ON LIL MAN, screw the haters,they're all jealous 'cause they're adults and can't do half as good as u...take off , eh !

[michaelbillypec]

awesome!

[GeddyBre]

Amazing job young man, very nice.

Hi Mathew great kit, I have an older TD8. Just want to ask, what amp do you use for sound around your house? I put mine through aux input on an old Sanyo system, recently blew out the sub-woofers on my speakers tho.... they lasted three yrs of that trauma tho.... lol.

Looking for somethign a little more suited for the Roland kit.

[matthewaltis]

@GeddyBre hey Geddy, this vid was posted a long time ago so ive sold the speakers and the drums. I currently have a set of Tama drums and a pair of mackie active speakers. Not sure what model though. They do sound great but I still miss the old kit.:)

[The013067]

@GeddyBre this young man is something special! way to go!

[HamachiRules]

This little kid is my hero....

[barbarabell2011]

I play the drums, and I know that when I was six years old, I was not way near as good as this young man! Keep practicing...I love this!

[BigCountryJASon]

Nice job..this kid is going to a KILLER on the drums if he keeps at it!

[Death1458100]

He is good but could somebody have taught him how to hold the sticks correctly...I know he is playing rush and I am whining about how he holds his sticks. I wish I had a drum set I am drummer with out a set and it makes me sad...

[nafmosortol]

@Death1458100 i know what you mean...i have a drum set but it sucks

[stoneman619]

Poor kid adjust the kit

[stonelenny]

Hey!! Adjust the drum to the boy reach. He deserves it!! :)

[jhbonarius]

haha great, but buy him fitting headphones... wait he's 9 by now, maybe they fit now

[MrBagelmon]

Parents really need to stop spoiling their kids these days... Not even joking.

[alt3rnativ3fr3ak]

and i thought i was good cuz i play easy on guitar hero :'( there goes that dream

[idloveadrink]

@alt3rnativ3fr3ak LMAO!!!! that was gold =)

[alt3rnativ3fr3ak]

@idloveadrink im not even kidding lmao, im 16 and i can hardly play drums on GH... this, this just killed me a bit more inside

[DrummerRicky13]

so cute!!

i like it!!!!!

[lemm93]

DAMN KID GOT SKILL

[Weirdfilms33]

2:32 :O :O

[videocanone]

Keep rockin' little dude !

[BoomBoomStockings1]

Had to sub after I saw this.

[MrLABXI]

Legend! Well done great playing! This was also one of the first songs my drum teacher showed me, although I was about 10. Many memories of learning this, took about 4 years to nail it!

[xpeacemaster]

he'd play better with stuff that "fit" him like his headphones lol

[puckypoozer]

Great job little man! I loved it!

[bHuffy82]

wow!

[nakedchilli]

I'm going to buy my son a roland electric kit for his 6th b-day. he already walks around with sticks working on rhythms and beats. way super cool vid

[MrAdrianbelew]

Not bad considering there is not a single drummer in the world other than the Professor himself can play this song

[Dragonsbaynn]

How can anyone dislike this? Ive been a drummer going on 32 years and damn, Im shocked, you must be a very proud father! I love it!

[doclove0907]

Love it, he's great, surely great taste in Rock!!

[Infiniteraps]

siiiick!

[rockerzac99]

Six year old with a TD-12. I envy you.

[766Pierre]

THE ROCK EGO TAKES BIRTH IN THE EMBRYO...

Holy shit the pass at 2;38 left my jaw out of joint...

[766Pierre]

THE ROCK EGO TAKES BIRTH IN THE EMBRYO...

[SurferDream19]

[Haloplayer20]

[tjs2474]

Dave Grohl in the making... do it all early and figure it out, my man.

[ezioowns]

@tjs2474 aahhha you meen John Bonham !

[jaymespengler02]

i dont care what anyone says this kid is awesome!!!!!

[pietrodrums100]

all right  guy!!!

[sixfingr]

AWESOME!! Nice work, Kid! You're going to be amazing if you keep at it. Don't let the compliments you get along the way prevent you from working hard.

[loveja1]

way to go little man! shoot for the stars!

[vulcan1429]

do they make headphones his size?

[littleredguitars2]

well, the videos 4 years old . lets hear what he can do now

[Jhensy2012]

Pretty good, kid.

[dalymc]

U must be very proud of your little "neil peart" !!!! he's great!!!!!

[chrisbale123]

quem veio pelo g1 da um positivo aee

[WelakaWombat]

what kit is that?

[jamiegobangbang]

@WelakaWombat looks like a Roland TD20 but im a Yamahama man so i could be wrong! def a Roland though :)

[WelakaWombat]

@jamiegobangbang Thanks Jamie.. This kid is rockin the hell out of what ever it is! On my old Tama set I couldn't even compete with this little one.

[WelakaWombat]

Are you kidding me? I have been playing drums since middle school and this little guy makes me look like a n00b!

[knowgeddy]

this is so cute i want to puke up a fuckin unicorn

[johnzarcone]

not that correct ,but impressive for your age

[artidixson]

Anyone who dislikes this is not a musician and certainly not a drummer!

Keep playing and expanding your musical prowess. You have the potential of being a great drummer...peace

[bjgrocks]

This is very funny and Cute At the same time like at 2:31

[MrGavinshores]

lol i love how he plays with his hand halfway up the stick cuz hes so small.i used to do tht wen i was little

[cybervanig2000]

now this little guy has a great father.

[Drumtome]

Lol 220 people don't have kids, or don't respect them.

[vicious6667]

He will shine like a star!  hes got the talent..

[missrockon1996]

We have a future Neil Peart on our hands!!! Your amazing kido, keep it up. My sister plays the drums too!! Never give it up, you're a little star!!!

[sofndfkj]

ummmmm? Holy Fuck..........

[RedDeadPsycho]

hey what kind of electric drum set is this cause i need one badly and a good one that works and it seems this one works great

[slugbeats]

@RedDeadPsycho look up roland electric kits, If i'm right the one that kid is using is like 3 grand.

[Beevus17]

@slugbeats Try 10 grand, with the equipment.The skins are 3 grand, I believe its a TD-20. I play a TD-12 next in line at retail of about 2500

[rickycooldude98]

I love how Rush fans are so appreciative and supportive of vids like this........ XD RUSH FOREVER!!!!!!

[davisbob84]

Hey there, I saw another 6 year old play the same song, but we was actually reading the music! For some reason I can not post a link in here so either go to my favorites, its in there or the username is littledrummerbaby. YOU GOTTA CHECK THIS KID OUT!!!

[smackbunny]

Except for the fact that kid looks terrified, he is amazing.

[4muvsaae2]

give those cymbals hell kid....great!!

[johnzarcone]

this kid is good but some parts of the song are not done properly but very impressive from a 6 year old.

[wontollawolf]

@johnzarcone The headphones too large slip on his head all the time distracting his focusing from the song , if he had a good pair of headphones to fit his head I am shure he was be perfect . It is obvious the kid has the rithm and the feeling for drums , there is no doubt of that .

[paz2001]

if i had a son like this i'd be so fucking proud you have no idea

[mtgshmoopy]

Neil Peart says he never gets tired of playing this because one day he'll get it right. It's good to know that if he dies before he completes this task, there's someone to carry on his work.

[jpavlekovich]

very nice 

[tbrady1291]

fake

[ilovealaska]

This kid is awesome.....im sure he play better than i ever could !! ROCK ON LITTLE MAN !!!!

[jdebruhl2]

Love it.

[ForMetalWeWouldDie]

woah nice there is even double bass and everthing

[bazybeats]

It is great to see them doing so well at such a young age...My what the future has to look forward to with drumming. I would hate to be the competition in 20 years. BzB :-)

[dominos121212]

this is one of the coolest things ive ever seen

[MireBandMusic]

an other born with beat in blood advanced race...

[SuperMrMalibog]

If that was my kid he would sleep in the damn garage till he got it right....just sayin

[ATY9Productions]

WOW... i wish i could have started playing bass at six....

[trucker11686]

This is a kid that will grow up with proper taste in music.

[cimsonangell]

@trucker11686 You saying rush isn't proper music?

[cimsonangell]

@trucker11686 woops sorry i though you typed the opposite =3

[DragonKiller678]

DAMN!

Thats fucking tight.

Keep up the great work kid.

[crescentfreshbret]

He's off to a great start! Man, if he keeps going at this rate, just think what he'll sound like by the time he's in high school! Jr. High even! We may be looking at the next Neil Peart here! You never know.

[TheeFinchLynch]

Unless people posting negative comments have video of themselves at 6 years-old playing this song better than this kid, and they post it on their account, then pay them no attention.

[thelowmax]

@TheeFinchLynch They didn't have videotape back when I created the universe. But ignore me anyway.

[Turbo05Dodge]

@TheeFinchLynch I have 3 sperm in my sack that can play mozart on the pan flute, does this count?

[steelflame1]

@Turbo05Dodge ROFLMFAO!

[Gusgpc]

Great job !

[dooom560]

Title is a little misleading. Attempting is more like it.

[MagicAccent]

@dooom560

Maybe.

But come back to his youtube page in 10 years, and he'll probably explode your head.

[tyler5664]

o and to garrett8722 and cheeseypretzel. your both just cruel is 6 years old. you two prolly still hung from your moms tit when you were 6. you 2 need to get off youtube!

[RickJamesJGV23]

@tyler5664 who the heck even hangs from their moms tits

[tyler5664]

thats absoulutely amazing. i mean he can barely reach the cymbals! keep it up bud! your gonna be huge one day!! thats whatt happned to me. i played from when i was bout 8 till now when im 16 and now im going on tour! so trust me when i say it bud. you will be HUGEEE in the music industry one day! great job

[Garrett8722]

@baitscene

you a freakin tard youll never have that much talent and besides he's 6

i agree with you cheesypretzel

[borodrewman74]

Hahaha. This kid's great. I love how he has trouble keeping the steady 16th note on any of the cymbals, but he'll kill some fills.

[cheesypretzel99]

@baitscene FUCK YOU!! YOUR PROBABLY A FATASS 40 YEAR OLD MOTHERFUCKER WHO LIVES WITH HIS PARENTS!! THIS KID PROBABLY HAS MORE FUCKING TALENT THAN YOU BITCH!!! GET THE FUCK OFF YOUTUBE YOU FLAMING HOMOSEXUAL!!!!!!!!

[metagdp]

[Duesvinet]

Haha:-D. That is one great kid with a bright future in drumming. More power to you, kid!

[Duesvinet]

Haha:-D. That is one great kud with a bright future in drumming. More power to you, kid!

[dancerchickk98]

Everybody is saying mean stuff, but remember HES ONLY SIX! my freaking god people!

[raleighman3000]

Good god... His timing is off, the sticks are wobbly, and those headphones must have been scotch-taped to his noggin....His playing sounds like some homeless dude rummaging around a recycling bin. Sell that drum set on Craigslist and cut your losses, chief...

[BoredDrummer2]

@raleighman3000 It's a six year old...

[mercman58]

@raleighman3000 You are a dick!! The kid is 6.

[SomexOldxDrummer]

@raleighman3000 I agree with mercman58! There is no reason to make a comment like that except you're jealous; the six year old kid is a better musician than you!

Rock on young man! You're going to be a awesome drummer!

[flyers971]

@raleighman3000.. your an asshole buddy!

[Dahstin]

Umm... smaller head phones?



[Dahstin]

Umm... smaller head phones?

[aphexcmc]

[girjjk56]

[michael142833]
