  • come on...how can anyone criticize this kid? He's got "IT". If you don't know anything about the jhimbe or the african drum language you should still be able to appreciate this kid's focus and heart. And to tell you the truth...he is playing skillfully.  How many of you critics can do what he is doing?

  • he entrances me every.single.time. dunno abt techniques or whatever but you know he's feeling it and whatever he plays just emanates from his being and THATS beautiful!

    kathleen8131 3 years ago

  • The kid is great! Sure, he's got bad technique, but his playing is right on time.

    laloser55 4 years ago

  • have you ever played the djembe?

    seriously. because it isn't as easy as it looks. you can't even really compare it to piano either, since they're completely different.

    Starsaffire4 4 years ago

  • yeah ok maybe i havnt played what ever the hell that is but im sure piano is harder

    laloser55 4 years ago

  • lol are you seriously dogging on a 4 yr old ? damn a bit of insecurity prob!

    Hell yea little man rock on

    SkitzVIXX 2 years ago

  • just my opinion

    laloser55 2 years ago

  • people study from master djembe players, sometimes for years

    basilbo 5 years ago

  • I dont get it ? its that hard to do? :O

    joajim1 5 years ago

  • Yes very hard, its just not hitting it there are different ways to hit it as you can guess and really that is amazing.

    cowbell1 4 years ago

    feebydoobydoo 5 years ago

  • kids a bad ass!! go on with your bad salf kido !!!

    kilo1 5 years ago

  • I am blown away!!! Four years old and he is well well on his way. I think he's great. He's already getting his own feel. I've done a tad of African dance and I'm telling you, he'd be welcome to sit in and play anytime!

    spokenlife 5 years ago

  • This child is very talented .. any of the people posting that said that he isnt obviously have no idea what they are talking about. I bet hes a better drummer at 4 than most of the critics at the age they are now.. I challenge any of them to post a video playing the same style. and for any critic on the list that does'nt its just good old fashioned jealousy! so Dorks put up or SHUT UP!

    thegiggler 5 years ago

  • Talk about gifted!  So inspiring to see! What an amazing little person!

    tamiam9 5 years ago

    Friik666 5 years ago

  • Wow - all these jealous adults and pre-pubescent teens who can't accept the fact that a 4 year old DESTROYS ALL OF THIER HOPES AND DREAMS TO BE A DRUMMER! HAHAHAHAH... THIS KID IS AWESOME!!! HAHAH

  • Good luck Isaiah,I found this picture of you - You are the little drummer boy - http://mikepower.net/mrpower2/­2006/5/22/the-little-drummer-b­oy.html

    starwatch99 5 years ago

  • I agree with you two^

    LovleyOne 5 years ago

  • I don't think this is his best performance and at 4 it has to be hard to get them to concentrate.

    ****** I hear he got an offer too I saw an announcement here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=kyydSOL8YDs

    basilbo 5 years ago

  • This kid got an offer for product endorsement - leave him alone. You are not the experts..

    cybergramma 5 years ago

  • Guys, quit criticizing a 4 year old kid. I pesonally think he possesses a great amount of talent. His rythm and his devotion to this instrument is what makes him stand out. Just like poking keys on a piano does not demonstrate a talent, it is they rythm expressed through it which demonstrates it.

    LauraSecret 5 years ago

  • NO banging with a RYTHEM on a drum requiers talent. and this 4 year old kid CAN do it. He is 4 so dont expect amazing skills but for a 4 year old its pretty amazing.

    check this video and tell me this kid doesnt have rythm..

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=kyydSOL8YDs

    If he was taught professionaly he would probably be amazing. He's got the raw talent and it needs to be nutured.

    LovleyOne 5 years ago

  • yeah bangin on a drum requires much talent (sarcasm again)

    Rogasoukidan 5 years ago

  • the new mamady!

    42064206 5 years ago

  • You people who rank this high have no ear for musicality or tempo. This four year old has neither. But that's okay...he's four. Make another vid of him in a few years. Until then, he's just a kid banging on a drum.

    tanbrolo 5 years ago

  • actually, if you have any idea of rhythm and especially polyrhythms, you would find that this is actually VERY impressive for a four year old to be pulling off...

    dropgod26 4 years ago

  • So this 4 year old was intentionally making a polyrythm?? Oh I see. *rolls eyes* I'm not expecting amazing skills from a 4 year old...but overpraising and calling this "a polyrythm" just isn't realistic. Come on. He's four.

    tanbrolo 4 years ago

  • I'm not accidentally hearing polyrhythms...  'come on. he's four' is EXACTLY why this is amazing

    dropgod26 4 years ago

  • No doubt, he's good for his age. But noting his polyrhythmic skill is a stretch. Next time I hear a baby cry and a dog fart at the same time, I'll be sure to praise them both for making such beautiful polyrhythms. ;)

    PS- I checked out your videos. You've got skills! Nice work.

    tanbrolo 4 years ago

  • heh, thanks a lot.

    ok, I agree with you that the kid might not KNOW he's doing polyrhythms, but he is. haha. he might just be playing from his heart, which is great, but he is pulling off rhythm fundamentals without even realizing it

    dropgod26 4 years ago

  • to these kids' parents, you are so blessed...bless you!

    cessai 5 years ago

  • to those of you who are posting stuff putting this kid down, you are obviously oblivious to what talent this kid has. he is four years old and he already has a big grasp on the fundamentals of djembe. definitely a prodigy! i am a fan of yours kid. keep it up.

    sephastafari 5 years ago

  • check out his thank you to fans video posted today 6/25 he tries to teach you how to play djembe, it is so cute.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=FWybgHBhipA

  • wow, a 4 year old playing a 9/8 time signature, jeez, keep your eyes on him. He's obviously a reincarnated master drummer. Thanks for the video.
