  • Aaaah man i wish i was black.

    Please don't take offense, but coloured, black, dark, whatever you interprite - they are naturally gifted.

    Some people who play all their lives, can only dream of playing this sort of stuff, and he will only get better.

    Well done little guy. Woohooooo.

  • Clean!!

  • Who IS this kid???

  • seriously what are some of those (linear?) beats and fills? how the quick single kick

  • please tell me hes using a double-kick

  • @JerrysDerby i think he is

  • He'll be definitely going far with his talent. Good for him, great drummer!!

  • wow.........wow.........

  • cheers to a GREAT drummer :-)

  • I think the most amazing thing about this video is this kid is playing all these great licks---while standing UP!!! outrageous!

  • @17drumhead he wasnt standing up dude

  • I'm lovin' watchin' a couple of kids drumming (here on youtube.com)...they are so smart at a young age... but as I watch their faces and I can see they're still children...it's so cute to watch. I wish these drummers well with music and with life and happiness.

  • I just chucked my drumsticks into the fireplace.

  • @freeed lets face it though, you really didnt.

  • @freeed yeah, i'm about there myself

  • nope the preson is actually right i am a drummer myself and this kid by far is one of the best drummers i have ssen along with other amazing drummers

    i take after every single ofne of them and try to learn waht eve ri can

    from each one of them

  • impressive.

  • is that justin bieber?

  • like this if hes better than you

  • Wth dis kid is sick!!!!

  • the bass drum sounds awesome

  • kid has the groove

  • no fucking way.... B.A.

  • If anyone has seen the trailer for Todd Sucherman's methods and mechanics the beginning sounds very similar to when Todd is in the field

  • I just watched a couple of black kids named Isaiah, and a white kid...all around 7-9 years of age, but this kid is freakin' awesome!

    What's his name?

  • @Bongofury361 His name is Isaiah Fogle. He was 8 in this video, but he is 12 now. He is currently playing with Eric Essix and The Neo Jazz Collective.

  • @Bongofury361 Isaiah Fogle, Check out wwwdotisaiahfogledotcom

  • He is blazing, already! That's what's up! It did my heart good to see that. His parents are beast! Can't wait to hear more from him.

  • i was like oh he's not all that good... then i noticed he was a little kid my reaction was basically DAYUUUUUMMMMNNNNNN

  • Who is he?

  • WOW!!!

  • GREAT!

  • do it boy!!

  • Just think what will happen when he is able to reach the pedals, it warms my heart to see a young person having fun with music or sports and not getting into trouble. God bless that youngster!!!!!

  • GO BADBOY!!!!

  • gawd dawg sonn!

  • His style is just so perfect

  • OMG ! Comment il envoie le paté !!!

  • that was fuckin awesome....5 stars!!!

  • the next tony royster!

  • dub that brazz!!! :P

  • Man, that was a thing of beauty. Little man going places!

  • Is that a double base pedal he used?

  • ya that was double kick

  • haha the sticks are bigger than him.

  • YEEEE SMOOOTH!

  • holy shit, i thought he was standing the whole time, great drummin btw

  • gooood verryyy gooodd

  • Dang!!!!!!!!!!! This kid is better than me by a mile hahahahaha! That was tight.

  • ...KILLAH!

  • Impressive. This little kid must be one of the great jazz drummers reincarnated. Also, I agree with TheDrumChannel; please buy a house so you won't be prohibited in your playing/growth as a drummer. You won't be able to play in an apt. Great chops!

  • He will be great (actually, he's already great). When it's in them that early I believe it is there for life. Just needs to sharpen the fine points as time goes on. He may not even need a teacher to improve since he is a natural. Take it from me (I've been playing over 30 years without a lesson...you can see my clips on here). I say let him play, play, play! 5 stars all the way!

  • Wow - is he even sitting on the seat? My hats off to you lil man. By the time you get bigger, you'll blow em all away! Who is your father - Dennis Chambers? - Great job - PS Save your money and buy a house - cause your gonna need one - no one likes drummers in apartments and you don't want to stop what you are doing.

  • he just came all over my face xD

  • DAMN SKIPPY!

  • OMG! this is so good, he beats the livin shit out of me, and he is smaller than that floor tom!

  • !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!??­??!?!?!!?!?!?!?!

  • wow seriously cool shit

  • love the blackwell style twirls : )

  • Great great skillz by young blood!

  • UG FTW!

  • He's so good I just shit my pants.

  • Nigga please

  • f my life

  • wha!

  • His name is Isaiah Fogle and he lives in Birmingham Alabama he is 9 or 10. I ran into him by accident one day. I was in Guitar Center a popular music store and there was a crowd hovered in the drum section just like the picture and there in the middle was this little kid.

  • that looks like lil tony royster jr. dont he?

  • yes, yes he does!

  • hes a midget!theres no way he could be that good when your that young O_o

  • sweet! x

  • AWESOME!!!.... i should quit drumming. But, there are so many drummers who are better than me. Fu... !!!

    I love to play!

    But this kid... wow!

  • thats it i quit drummin....prodigy kids man. anyone know this kids name? he is amazing

  • I believe this is Isiah Fogle if that's how you spell it

  • Yes, his name is Isaiah Fogle. You can see more of his videos on my youtebe page or at Isaiahfogledotcom. Thanks for the kind words!

  • You do it ,baby boy! His parents should be proud.Nice footwork,young man!Now let's see that pocket....

  • perfect 10/10

  • your the best drummer i seen

  • YIKES!!!!!! HE is crazy...cant imagine what he is going tobe like when he is much older.....GOSH!!!!!!

  • great job!

  • ignorant comment from a drum ignorant person.

  • i agree.

  • your first sentence is pretty ignorant, since drums are beautiful instruments, but you do have a point about the band thing. A good drummer is one that can play well in a musical context.

  • Nope. Good drumming is almost hypnotically beautiful. There are instances when the best thing in a band is what the drummer is doing and it's a blessed relief to hear it unadulterated by poorer musicians or singers taking the limelight. However, a really great drummer plays with the music and compliments it. The kid is amazing and will surely be in the higher echalons of great drummers in years to come.

  • @harnois75

    well said

  • If he loves jazz let him dig harmony modal scales compound metersIf he comes to listen to classical let him study musical forms counterpointHe has to take his mind further each day! The worst for a prodigy is to repeat what he is already capable.Read the Mozart' biography, same age as your son, touring Europe playing harpsichord to kings and starting to feel like a rabbit runing inside a wheel. I believe youre aware of this danger and of your responsability.God bless this boy and your family!

  • I've seen a black Mozart! Mr.Fogle my speciality is not percussion but I'm a prof in Paris Conservatory of Music and I can see the greatness of the talent your young boy is gifted. He is a prodigy, but the way for a prodigy to become a genious musician is not an automatic development, it's in the responsability of his professors and of yours. Take it seriously Mr. Fogle. Give him the best musical education you can find or would afford.Let him study all things in music he can be interested of.

  • wow

  • next tony royster.

  • hes standing up..

    thats hard to do and play drums..savage little kid..

  • he's not standing up, it's just a high throne.

  • AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

    that's crazy!

  • Holy shit! Great kid. He deserves to make it big.

  • omfg! thats sick!

  • fuck that kids better then me

  • Wow this kid is insanely good. His groove is perfect, just, dang.

  • ''exellent''

  • born drummer

  • wow this kid is good

  • pt3 because they could,nt be tuned so next thing i get a call from him saying that hey come to the factory try the proto type so he could pick more brains from me he only got half the idea no company has happened upon the next step yet i would,ve been very fair in the deal don but it is a shame your a greedyman that gave me no credit for help given to him i have a cousin a part owner in page drums usa your goin down sleishman mark my words& if i am a liar why could,nt i purchase drumshells ?

  • pt2 in 1989 & suggesting to don sleishman the founder & president of sleishman drums!that he should go all the way with the low mass-non drilled shell free floating full kit before some other company does![pearl]he profusely argued that it could,nt be done

  • young guy is great!..he is just playing what he likes to play!!..i play things others have done bfore me as well although i never take credit for it actually i pass it on in credit like now!!.....although once you get somebody else,s licks give due credit & build it & modify it if possible!!......that is the correct thing to do!!......actually the drum company who,s drums he is playing...gives me no credit & refuses to know me !..after going outta my way to congratulated the fellow country man!!

  • A great video. Obviously a very talented kid. He will be amazing when he's older, even more so than now that is. The flare was cool with the stick spinning. And the hug at the end was great to see. Almost brings a tear. It's good to see love and happiness. Thanks for the vid.

  • The kid is extremely talented, especially for his age. There are alot of half-assed drum videos on youtube that get more attention than kids like this that are better than alot of the more mature drummers. Peace out beat heads. Nurture the talent =)

  • yeah you are right humaninferno666...Gospel Chops are alive and well in the Kid's style...but he's 10. I bet all he hears and sees is Gospel Chop cause mom and dad is leading him down that path. I wish that he was playing a sick jazz triplet with some Tony Williams tom fills but I guess we will have to wait on that dream....GOSPEL CHOP GO-GO GUYS....OK...WE GET IT...YOU'RE FAST NOW SHOW ME A SHUFFLE THAT LAST MORE THAN A FEW BARS.

  • I'm his dad and I'm impressed at how much you know about us since we have naver met! Look up daddyfogle's videos and watch him playing in the Jazz Band that he is a part of. He also plays rock, samba, latin, swing, and a host of other styles. He reads music and is mentored by members of the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame. Lets push our kids to do great things, instead of hating on gospel drummers!

  • Mr. Fogle, you are right...I dont' know you and we have never but your son is all over the net. I never hated on your son's talent. I was simply in agreement with a previous poster's comment and observation of the NAMM video. I am a studio and touring drummer/bassist and I believe I am qualified to judge that drumming style in that video. Don't get it twisted...I think gospel drumming cool. It has it's place, even if that place is in a video at a NAMM show. Peace

  • Not jumpn'on you, I wanted to disagree with the previous post. Judge talent based on age too. In his videos I saw recycled double-bass rock licks... kinda boring. I'm sure that this is not the limit of his playing! We work on sight reading, timing, and pocket development. Constructive criticism is needed and welcome! The clip was done as he played for John Blackwell, so he was doing what he felt. My point is: encourage and mentor the kids that have been annointed to keep your craft alive.

  • not too poop on this kid, he is great...but these are all recycled gospel licks...kinda boring.

  • FUCK UP

  • Not jumpn'on you, I wanted to disagree with your previous post. Judge talent based on age too. In your videos I saw recycled double-bass rock licks...(kinda boring), but I'm sure that this is not the limit of your playing! He works on sight reading, timing, and pocket development. Constructive criticism is needed and welcome! The clip was done as he played for John Blackwell, so he was doing a demo. My point is: encourage and mentor the kids that have been annointed to keep your craft alive.

  • i think i just quit.....

  • DRUMS FOR SALE HERE.

  • wow. Reminds me of Royster when he was 10. lol. He took John Blackwell's twirl and he showed him just now. Then John Blackwell came out of nowhere seeing he twirl
