AWESOME! My hat is tilted - try some some cover work next from Eric Carr from KISS, or John Bonam - you'll go far - otherwise, great Keith Moon covers
I think it would be good if he actually did try to learn the song, though, I know you said learning Keith Moon's version note for note wouldn't be in the spirit of Keith Moon's playing, but he did KNOW the song before he played it...there was a lot of good drumming in there, but not knowing how the breaks went sort of ruined it...just a little advice...he's better than I was at 11, but I didn't get a set until I was 12...
evry time I watch this im amazed im fourteen and ive been taking leassons for I think its five years and I wish I could do this also I just upgraded my kit today and his is wwwaaaaaayyyy cooler im jealous!
Thanks for the kind words. Neil is now also 14 (this video is 3 years old on the 25th of this month). Neil hasn't posted any vids to YT for a while, as he is focussed on school at the moment (plays drums daily at school and at church on Sunday).
This youngster is off to a great start.His timming is very good, his flow around the drum set is very good and after a fill he's right back on the beat he never gets lost or unsure of where he is in the song.This young man is very impressive and should progress nicely over the years.
i got a band, and it's nothing but older guys.....i wouldn't mind kicking our drummer out for this kid. lmao jkjkjk im to loyal to ma guys but seriously this kids got skills. keep it up kid. keith moon is a role model....xct for the horse tranquilizers and drugs, lol. keeps studyn the greats kid
@rennieallen oh i know, i just meant on the studio version...but yes i knolw exactly what u mean...he played he he wanted to...got me into the drums...still an awesome cover to rock's all time best anthem!
Apparemment, il a la chance d'avoir des parents qui le soutiennent beaucoup dans sa passion... Une batterie comme ça, en économisant de l'argent de poche...
WOW, IM IMPRESSED! incredibly tasteful playing. just got off time a few times. it helps to tap your left heal to count out the pauses to come in at the right time.
If you listen closely to the newer bands, there isn't a real drummer amongst them. They are just noise makers.......at least thats a lot of peoples opinions..........
'@Ylviste There is great music today and ever since the 70's, we just don't get to hear it on the very unimaginative, take no chances corporate radio.
Your right of course! There is plenty of great music today; fortunately, with the internet, no one need rely on corporate radio as the only source to get music...
@YIviste is also right... POPULAR music is not very good today... The Who was not only good, they were also popular.
@rennieallen I like some of there more obscure stuff even more--Odds and Sods, and By The Numbers so you are preachin' to the choir brother. I would just like to see more of the very talented and creative youth get their chance.
Awesome job! With his headphones on, it reminds me of when the roadies used to gaffer tape Keith Moon's headphones on for tracks that he sang, ie bellboy.
Good lord, I wish the rating system was back so I could complain about not being able to rate this higher than 5. That is just outstanding, keep up the great work!
So I guess it's regular for your snare to ring when you hit a tom unless you have a mic and you listen to it through that? I'm just trying to figure something out about my recording
Kid, don't take this wrong way, but YOU PLAY BETTER THAN KEITH MOON ever could, even on his best, alcohol and drug free day. But, you will never, ever be in a bigger band than The Who was in its day. and THAT is sad. You're great !!
Pure Rock N Roll is in this guys blood! He was born to ROCK! Plus the volume on the song and his playing are perfect! When he's older, gigs will pay his way through college! Way to go bro!
good and all but your stick grip is all wrong and you wont be able to get ,much rebound thus stopping you playing fast enough and can lead to carpel tunnel syndrome
Keith must be in the lineage. :o ) Great job, young man from a long time Who fan. Moonie is certainly lookin' down with a big grin. You have a wonderful talent and obviously great parents who support you. Also very good taste in music. Nothing like the "Orrible 'Oo" the best ever. Cheers mate!!
dude just a little word of advise play with the head of stick when u r doing the main grove on the verse, and the toms are a little bit too high keith moon used to play with medium tuned toms and urs are kind of high, besides that great job. Also i love the way u tuned ur snare that was perfect and it sounds good with just about anything.
when u start drinking a bottle of brandy a day u might be as good as Moon, lol. Seriously u are good kid, stick with it and u will have chicks at yer feet.
Fantastic! In a few years you will be challenging my favorite YouTube Drummer... Claude from Switzerland!!! Watch out Claude!! At your age I was taking lessons playing on the corner of a piece of plywood in my teacher's basement.
Wow! Simply amazing! You are as good as many professionals that have been drumming for decades! Thanks for sharing that! I really enjoyed seeing that!
At least he uses it. I'm sure your parents aren't disappointed at the countless things they've bought for you with high hopes that you end up tiring of quickly.
Top-notch. Brilliant. Speechless. Egos put aside you guys because this kid's got talent! My mouth was wide open when I watched this video earlier and I didn't realise it! Ahahaa!
so awesome! really very talented... you should see about getting him into some 311. Chad Sexton is an amazing technical drummer, im sure he would have some fun with it.
