[sealoude]

[tatterpatch420]

I have watched alot of Houstons vids so far and I can only say one thing. If I wasnt married, I would have to arrange our marriage. Im 21, but I would wait. I would wait. :D

Lol, all of the haters need to shut their mouths, you just wish you had as much talent in your body that Houston has in his pinky toe. Get a life people. Houston, keep it up! Cant wait to see you in concert one day!

[unrecognizedtalent98]

shiit, i wish i couldve played drums when i was 9, i wouldve been a way better drummer than i am today. haha nice vid ur pretty sick at drums for being 9. keeping playing:)

[SoundOfSorrowSOS]

This songs easy! :D 

[Nastya1488]

Easy? for 9 year boy ? Houston you are really cool)



[TheCristobal18]

this song is very crazy and rocking man xDD

[IrisNL]

Im wondering did he learn it on his own, or did u teach him or how did he learn how to drum like this?

[imrussman]

@IrisNL On his own.

[Griffin9857]

@imrussman he learned this on his own???? he is AWESOME!!!

[CWBou812]

Damn good work keep it up.

[MonsterSmasherTimmiy]

this song is easy

[imrussman]

@MonsterSmasherTimmiy Really? Let see it.

[xboxman360man]

@MonsterSmasherTimmiy you fail

[WUTBM]

@MonsterSmasherTimmiy no shit, he's 9.

[mpampaca]

@MonsterSmasherTimmiy Is this song for a 9 years old boy? dont think so..

[ich8bit]

@mpampaca Stop talking crap. Nobody said it was made for 9 years or not. There is no agelimit for music.

[jleijen]

Nice vid, keep working on your rhythm. Thats hard, but very important. I started around 4 years ago with drumming, and I'm playing the snare in a marching band. Getting a strong rhythmic player is hard, but you'll get there. I really enjoy your vids.

[senorclean66]

just a suggestion loosen up the arms and wrists a lil bit

[JJskater911]

how much did alll that cost?

[VizardProduction]

you have a good future kid ...like a drummer!

[djfluffwug1]

You are flailing your arms around. Good work though.

Try do the flicking in your wrists and not your arms.

[Schokinho1]

yeah man !!!!!!!

[MrMrpossible]

he do u open tht hi-hats

[imrussman]

@MrMrpossible with a pedal, just like everyone else

[0mcbbcm0]

u are the best fucking drummer AWESOME KID!!! U ARE A PRODIGY!!!

[chirpin1]

zachattack u need to sdfu. the kid is 9 years old and ur saying shyyt, woow u must be VERY jealous of this kids talent. meantime dont say shyyt that u cant back up, h3ll i wanna see u play better

[derSilberMeister]

This kid has got to found an epic heavy metal band.... i can tell you this kid is made for thrash metal specifically.

[GrimClowes]

great song, great cover, i'm not hatin on you, i just have to ask, why put the high-hat there?

give you more freedom in movement?

anyways, it's comfortable for you so fuck'em lol.

good job buddy.

[fluffydoughboy69]

You're freaking awesome dont give up drumming you are very talented, You have an amazing gift congrats to you and your talent...

[CommanderC00L558]

if you like nirvana, you should play some dinosaur jr songs, nirvana was inspired by them.

[blew198]

the first drummer on youtube i have seen who plays the intro exactly as dave gohl .. great cover .. powerful drumming ..

[RemembranceHC]

woahhhh that high hat right in the center is so sweet

[melen987]

Holy Crap Batman..

Fuckking Epic tallent. :O

i think we'v got the next Danny Carry on our hands here...

[SHOCKWAVE6789]

" I had to talk him into this song because it wasn't quite hard i.e. Metal enough for him" Haha What a Champion! Metal For Life.

[luvedbyme94]

classic

[ns4994]

i wish my parents loved me as much as you love your kid. seriously. ive bought everything for my kit. im 15

[Standoman6546]

this kid makes me want to jiz meh pants best fucking drummer that age ever

[xlimexblackx]

i love nirvana, and this is frickin gooddd.

[elrojomuerto6x]

cant wait when he develops a little more into his playing.. hes gonna be good, has good technique..

lets hope that as he grows he strats listening to other gernres of music and expands his style.. then brings all that too the "metal scene".. thats whats gonna make his great later on..

but as of yet.. kudos i wish i nine i was playing that well and had such a monster kit.. 5/5

[dosomethin888]

Stick with it man your going to be so sick!

[tboltz07]

nice playin but in my own personal opinion, get some zildjian's man. way better.

[imrussman]

@tboltz07 Check out his newer videos.

[tboltz07]

lol i just did. sorry bout that man. ur son is very fucking talented.

[ME16510]

sabians and zildjians are about the same but zildjian is more popular it depends how good they are like zildjian A customs are probably the best zildjian and sabian i really dont have sabians or know them but they have a good type maybe just as good as A customs.

[2011kalid]

I dont give a shit wht anyone says. This kid can play!

[Rire31]

JE VEUX SA TECNIQUE T_T

I want his technicc ..

I LOVE THIS DRUMMEUR T_T

[5060548]

jam with me i play guitar, i play alot of metallica.

[8TUW]

realy good cover but the intro is wrong keep it up

[imrussman]

You are wrong, It is exactly as the sheet music endorsed by Nirvana.

[PunKoverZ]

dude your kid should see if he can try A View From The Afternoon by Arctic Monkeys, its not his style, but its insane drummage in that song dude. i loves it.

[tehmoneybagz]

Seriously, 8TUW is right, it is wrong, Fk sheet music.. Just listen adjust and play. How i learnt guitar and now i can play this with my eyes closed. :S

[imrussman]

@tehmoneybagz Join him in being wrong.

[hahigdal]

I would say try to keep away from the sheet music. Certainley know how to read but try to learn by ear and be creative to make up your own stuff. Just an idea?

[Nightrazr]

Go derp somewhere else, will you?

[iCOR3Yx]

That Kit Is Surely Not His

ITS HUGEEE

is It Like His Dads or Summin :P

[Nightrazr]

No shit, Sherlock.

The kid's 9 years old.

[JayemSoccer]

why put the hi hat there

[imrussman]

You asked the wrong question. Why not put it there would be a better one.

[JayemSoccer]

you still didnt answer my question

[iCOR3Yx]

LOl

True

[Andre232323232332323]

@imrussman i got one question :) i know that this was like 3 1/2 years ago but why didnt you used the hi-hat, i mean your awesome i bet you did know how to play it and did this just for fun right? or im i wrong :D

[imrussman]

@Andre232323232332323 He was using the hi hat

[Andre232323232332323]

@imrussman o ok sorry :)

[drumcoverz98]

hey great job and cool kit.also check out some of my videos because im also a young drummer.

[douglasdude]

i can see him not wanting to play this because it isn't metal enough, i did the same thing, only i play guitar. but i think that so many bands have tried to be like nirvana, and tried to do the same things as them but just failed at it. i like them, their not my favorite or anything, but i do have respect for them and their success.

Good Cover!

[missyoutub3]

nirvana FOREVER!

[MoonPhysical]

thats a strange set up.... but it works XD i want my hi had up there XD wait how do you clamp it??!?!?

[246mitch]

how can yu play with te high hat there it would fuck me up

and fuck ya i love nirvana i played it with my band infront of about 100-200 people and we endend up being iterviewed like 3-4 time for the local news stations and the paper

it was pretty kool

we are all under 14 so i guess that why

hhaa

[ohio77775]

[fred1462]

Keep up the awesome work kid and tell all those jealous nay sayers to get metal up their #sses. You rock

[ps3fanatic619]

zackattack94, suck a dick, so wat if the kid missed a hi-hat opening hes 9, who cares, sounded pretty good to me

[zackattack94]

hes not even playing properly

at one point you need to open your high hat but he kept it closes

[imrussman]

He's nine, fuck stick.

[Nijaleaf]

ur a dumass zackattack94

[imrussman]

check out zackattack94's videos and you can see that you can't hear him. There is a reason for that. It is because he sucks and uses the original track to cover him up.

[Nijaleaf]

Haha pretty much

[animalsrockmysocks1]

who gives a shit?? hes nine dumbass and u cant do any better. i watched ur vid of this song, u cant even hear ur drums. go suck a fukin donkeys ass and quit insulting 9 year olds

[chirpin1]

@zackattack94 DUDE sdfu this kid is 9. ur only saying shyyty cuz ur jealous of his skill. I wanna see u play better, until then keep ur jealous ass, dum self, shit talkin mouth closed. OK? O_O u got told

[darksedwikxx]

how is ur high hat set up like that :o

[CoffeandCreemr]

Oh my god. You are amazing!! Exactly how much does that set cost?

[Glazzig]

The snare could be a llittle brighter bu otherwise it's great!

[a7foldforlife102]

[Steven36000]

[pawaeslabin]

[connolly420]

nice job.more nirvana please=)

[theaterrox96]

[surfwave911]

very good :) is that his kit or is it his dads or somethin ?

[gugge69]

wtf man how do you do that *intro* you own

[km94skaterboy]

snare drum

bass drum

bass drum

snare drum

bass drum

snare drum

Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit Standard Beat

Thats how you do that.

[Heino2494]

öhm, well, you play snare bass hihat bass snare bass hihat bass like he does its correct...

[wingzpan02]

que barbaro toca genial!!!!!

[Bobbysk815]

how does he open the hi-hat its so far away

[imrussman]

watch his drum tour video

[jakeklep]

the pedel is in the middle of both bass drums

[imrussman]

Wrong, look at the drum tour video

[Heino2494]

maaan

...cable hihat...

[pinhead444555]

lol not *hard* enough for him. i know how he feels. im a total slipknot fan but i love nirvana

[jorkamus]

that drum kit looks like more than $2,000

[smashbrother182]

thats a big set. nice job!

[muzicboy99]

open your hi hat more

[ekimflare]

this kid is awesome!!!!

[ptschafer]

I'm loving the "Punisher" decal heads on the kick drums. Anyway, keep it kid.

Only suggestion would be to learn how to play a good standard cross-armed high-hat routine, of course I don't see one on the kit to your left, but work on it anyway... there will be songs you want to do when you'll like to use that as a comfortable transition, if nothing else. Other than that, you have a great ear and good timing for your age.

[drumplayer4th]

yeah, but i personally prefer to play it as 8th notes at the intro. Ive tried playing it as quarters but i dont like the sound!!! especially as it mixes quarters and eighth notes after the intro, i jsut dont think it sounds right.

But as i said, good cover, and keep up the drumming :)

[tt123y]

come on that is damn good for a 8-9 year old u r giving this baby tips he'll get in age bless his heart!!!!

[drumplayer4th]

not sure i liked the quarter note hi-hat intro at the begining, bu appart from that a solid cover! in a few years you'll be seriously amazing manh, keep it up!

[imrussman]

Quarter note hi-hat is exactly as it was written.

[nickfbs13]

its good cover for a nine year old no doubt about that but ive seen so many of dave grohls live performances on that song and ive never seen him play those quarter notes

[imrussman]

Then you were not watching.

[nickfbs13]

yeah i'm pretty sure man haha i have like 10 of there live performances of man but this kid is still amazing at drums

[sirlazyharry]

awesome

[juni3bugg]

[LanceDirk]

No, for instance or for example is e.g.  I.e., like others have said, means "meaning" or "that is to say."

"Steve is going out to buy 'milk' i.e. weed."

"Steve participates in many recreational activities e.g. smoking weed, drinking, and yay."

[adozenlies97]

example

[ElVerdaderoNigNig]

its latin for that is. i.e. is kinda like for in other words. he is saying it isn't hard enough |in other words| it isn't metal
