Just a little tip from a guy who has drummed for 11 years now.
Tighten the toms up a tidge and cut the stick down about a half inch to an inch.
Also with tiny drummers like she is it's better to bring the set to her instead of making her move to the set. So try scooting everything closer to her. itll help tonns
You show great potential. Keep practicing everyday and you will be a great drummer as you get older. Also, try adjusting the kit, especially the toms, to experiment and find out what you're most comfortable with. Keep it up!
This sucks, not matter how old she is, She aint good Now. Not saying she wont be good. Just saying she sucks atm, Which (When we live in "now") This video would suck.
oh yeah!! and one more thing.. don't pay any attention to all the ppl who say you suck!! they think that they are so cool but they have forgotten that once upon a time in their lives they still had to learn and were in the same stage as you are now.. so never mind the crittics and keepnup the good work
yo little dudette :) keep playing and you will be the bomb some day,, wish i started at your age :) only advice i wangt to give you is this: try and possition your toms in a smaller circle, that way you wont have to turn around your whole body when you want to make a roll over all your toms (makes it a lot easyer) keep it up :)
You got to train fill - ins and you must hit the base drum when you hit the crash. Don´t play the same thing. Work on your timing. Don´t say comeon she´s only 8 y old, then see jacob armen when he´s 7 y old.
How about being supportive of a young girl trying to learn an instrument instead of boasting about how good you are and how undeveloped her skills are at this point! Some of the comments left on these videos are really sad.
you're mean. I don't think you should kill yourself though :) Jesus loves you, even if you're not too happy w/yourself, someone is always there for you...give her a break, she is 8. :)
People, knock it off. shows what lack of mental maturity and capacity you have, if you post "ugly" "harsh" or "mean-spirited comments"
about an 8-year old girl, who's just learning to play. it stupify's me, what absolute Ignoramus Parents, or "Folks" out there will post on here. "my kids better" and such. these are probably those over-controlling " I want you to realize your dreams of MINE" adults, who enter their kids in these ridiculous Child beauty contest's, then fist fight over it.lol
the high hat is supposed to be a bit lower, but great. you should try to hit the drums a little bit harder, just to get a certain feel to it. and try not to add some random rolls to it. and dont try to just hit as many drums as you can in one go. try to make it steady and with feeling. but overall, i give you props. ;]
Kenli u have the skills and the potential girl.Just add to that resolve focus and let nothing stand in ur way!Keep practicing will go far.Ive been playing drums about a year and I know I have a long way to go!But i'm focused and i practice each night.U rock Girl!
nice practice ur hum tang tang ting ting boom boom ( lol ) u know what ever u just need to practice that and youll be already better :D good job! ill have a drum at christmas im so happy ^^
Retarded..you mean? How is it retarded? I think it's great to see kids learning instruments at early ages. She is very good for her age. Her fills aren't great yet but she can keep a steady, simple rock beat going. Good job drummer girl! :)
I know how hard it is too learn drums and for someone of such a young age to put so much effort into it i think is amazing. She isnt Joey Jordison but the Joey Jordison Isnt an 8 year old girl..
Is she does pratise every night then i think by the tme she's 10 she will be amazing and by the the time shes as old as Joey she can laugh in all those idiots whoo said she sucked
This girl is my cousin and it sickens me that you would say things like she sucks and this is shit about a sweet little 8 year old girl like that. I know for a fact that she practices every night and the only reason her mom was all giggly is because she was making a you tube video and she dident want the world to see her on her daughters case!
She sorta lacks a sense of rhythm... very tense and totally unrelaxed as she plays. Practice way more every day, and please, don't listen to your giggly mom who needs to tell you to practice harder, not how great you are.
your good for her age. you need to work on your fills a bit, try keeping the high hat going with your foot during the fills, it will probably help you keep in time better. always count so you dont go outa time. keep practicing :)
Hey your pretty good, but when you do the drum fill, try hitting each drum equally 4 time...I play the drums but I don't have myself taped yet...I have a bunch of stupid videos really. Oh and try doing 3 bass hits! YOu know like instead of the 2 beat you do...
1hour a day is plenty for anyone-just have a plan of action..fills or a groove or rudiments..and stick with it for the hour,remember there will always be tommorow.
Those drums are the perfect size as she will grow comfortably into them :-) However I see she has some sheet music. This tends to cause kids to lose timing because they are trying to remember all the notation. All she needs is to practice. Tony Royster now 22 says that one hour per day is all he has ever done as a kid.
hi ur doing a good job at the age of 8. am proud to know that. but the other person was right ur timing it needs to be more improved but keep on working girl u might soon become a drummer yourself:)
Any lessons at the point that this video was taped?

The problem with theses kids drumming is the sticks are too big for them. There needs to be a 'Kids' size stick, I bet it would sell.
