[oOcrazy95Oo]

[GrifithArmagedon]

Wow... It's just obnoxious how good he was at such a young age

[cexo123]

and no triggers in the drums.... wow..

[99leeoo]

jacob are you from armenia ???

[nengstro]

hmmmm..... he doesn´t look 9. But he´s good. Haven heard or seen much of him in modern times, what happened to him? Why didn´t he try out for the drumseat in Dream Theater.? ;-D

[mooserack99]

@nengstro Check out his youtube channel. He just released a new album with some music heavyweights guesting on it, and he has previews of the song on there. He also has some solo work that is at most a couple years old. He's a true pro, and I agree, would have fitted in nicely for Dream Theater.

[slipknotlover21]

unreal

[charlie72196]

I'm 15, and I've been playing drums for 6 years. Never in my life will I be able to play like this

[pbannyatsugarloaf]

Holy crap. That's all I can say

[mattlovesdrums25]

[alienhuman]

Some people are just Dicks.  At nine most of these negative commentors were eating their own snot.

[tHickman95]

Jacob Armen- rolling in honeys since age 7

[AaronWALDROUP]

@themoviemkr i would like to see you play this

[themoviemkr]

i love how the drums are really off beat with the music, its funny cuz everyone says this kids great but all he is is just fast, no rhythm at all

[timmyvilla29]

@themoviemkr he is on beat. he shows he can keep a steady tempo which most young drummers have a hard time doing and at the same time clearly shows he has great control, being able to manipulate the tempo very fluidly.

[themoviemkr]

@timmyvilla29 he may be on beat, but he has no rythym for the music, if you listen to a drum and music duet then the drums should match up and correspond well with the music being played, he ads to many fills and such which then throws off the match up of the music and the drums.

[tHickman95]

@themoviemkr its syncopated mate. listen again, count in your head.

[tHickman95]

@themoviemkr its syncopated mate. listen again, count in your head. Klezma is like that, its wierd.

[TESTAMENT2]

@themoviemkr Check the minute : 3:08 i think he has a good timing but he's showing off during his solo except the for Duo Parts...cheers brothers...

[Jiraiyashir]

@themoviemkr How about a Video of you drumming? XD you're a fucking Idiot really! This guy now ( 30 something ) HAD and HAS great talent, you just don't know anything about drumming or music so why don't you stick your head up your ass and keep it there. :P

[themoviemkr]

@Jiraiyashir well i'm not a drummer, but i know several and they all agree with me that this guy isn't as great as everyone thinks, and i do infact know quite a bit about music thank you very much

[batsm1n]

@themoviemkr LUL, trying to start a flame war saying that a 9 year old kid isent as great as other musicians or some of your other friends that are much older? GTFO.

[basjeman11]

WOW! I saw a solo of him when he was 7, I thought he was pretty good (amazing for a 7 year old ofc), but this... this is through the roof! Better then most mature drummers i've heard!

[andy221able]

@basjeman11

Hey .. I totally agree with you.. And those who say he has no rythm are just jelauos.....

[mardymonkey94]

at first i was like, why is he playing an accordion? but then i figured, if my son was that good at drums, i wouldnt even bother playing anything else.... XD

[zuneslave]

This kid has got to be from another planet !!!! Phenomenal, now excuse me while i put a mic cord around my neck and jump from my drum throne....

[Rladrien]

@zuneslave

and the things he does this day make this look like childs play...

[sweetdrums295]

this guy and cobus should have a drum off

[xFaMoUzPRODUCTIONS]

you guys are awesome!

[garjah]

He seems to be up to Aaron Spears, Spanky, etc. league....the kid got style...that was thought provoking...I need to practice more...hahaha

[MrMagicA7X]

2:25 that asian bitch is like "howy shit he good!"

[runescappett]

@MrMagicA7X yeh definitely?

[SanMahony]

Bazinga...!

[SuperBobfrapples]

that is one big *** drum kit

[Utcheeow]

He's just one of the best drummers ever, he got musicality, power, strength, technique, everything. And he was 9. NINE.

Now he's one of the most complete drummers on earth, too bad he doesnt get the attention he would deserve.

His father is great too!!! There's some awesome jazz/rock-fusion in here \m/

[RealBrowl]

He would be a wonderful metaler...

[choloOnEaster10]

that kit looks sweet as shit

[soulslayerBLAST]

@choloOnEaster10 I was gonna ask if anyone else was paying attention to how fucking awesome that kit is xD

[walkhard52]

this sounds like the backround music that would be on the weather channel when you think about it

[guilhermeschwertner]

the father must'v seen that playin' keys does not get you laid that easily, so when he finally got it, he made his son start drumming instead :P

[blockleg]

This kid likes prog

[nuklear41]

I bet those K customs are rotting in some garbage field right now...... :(

[hodis795]

u look at the kit and say wow this vid is old

[Matefeedkillreknot]

Dude Sickest drum kit ever.

He still is one of my favourite of all time, man he's amazing.

[sofiMADMONKEY]

C pas parceque ta une grande batterie que tu joue forcement bien.

[Anaamariaah]

GODLIKE (Y)

[MetalheadedMcLovin51]

I have been drumming for 3.1/2 years, and I find this profession easy.. I am not saying I am better than this kid or any other great drummer, but I find my fluid-ness everytime I get on..

AND THIS KID IS AWESOME!

[guschamber]

to be frank,i've been playing the drums for over 6 years and i could probably play half of whut this kid just played,the other half....well for that i'll need to drum for another 2 more years i guess..

[ikethegenious69]

DAIIIIIIIIIING THIS KID IS WICKED COOL

[liltuckr23]

Theres nothing terrible whatsoever about anything he did during the performance from start to finish he was flawless.

[drumminghunter]

A REAL DRUMMER!

[thebatmankills]

121 people live their lives as jealous twats.how can you dislike this. that kids amazing. Im jealous, but its far too good to not like.

[halolover4life]

121 people were stricken deaf by his sheer epicness!

[drumminghunter]

@halolover4life Indeed! "dislike"???? gawd! They must live pitiful lives in garbage bins or sleeping in porta-potties!

[toddtimeocom]

accordion and almost metal sounding drums? :P

[kynancecove]

@kynancecove YOU HAVEIiNCREDIBLE ability on the DRUMS you both reind me of the fantastic /70S PROGRESSIVE ROCK GROUP "FOCUS" May I be so bold and ask for a request can you both cover their greatest hit "HOKUS POKUS" . I believe you both have the technical skills to play anything. BOTH OF YOU DISPLAY A VERY HIGH SKILL LEVEL and you also display the musicians ESP you are playing your Dads PIANO and[name escapes me] and he plays your DRUMS THROUGH THE TWINNING OF EMPHATIC MINDS.

]

[kynancecove]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­O­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOW CHECK OUT this 2 part drummer health video and share the links with all the drummers you know as it may help somebody CHECK OUT "mark white DRUMBEATSTROKE" and make sure your DAD sees it and ask him to apply the information it holds.

[GiulianoGullini]

[Frank123450]

Its just not fair.....lol

[reposessedband]

how can a drum kit sound as nice as that

[mtgarrett]

If you guys ever get the chance to see Jacob live, do it! A few years ago he played at this place here in LA called La Ve Lee, I sat about 4 feet away from him right in front of his kit. It was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever witnessed. The band did a version of YYZ that would have made Neil raise an eyebrow to say the least!

[DontEatChicken]

119 catholic priests want to rape that little boy beast

[KurdtKobain09]

[weissang]

[futureboxer21]

[MrManganinja]

[kibijit]

@basilcats Jacob is about 30 years old now, and is still drumming. Still doesn't have the recognition he deserves, though.

[Drumboy5165]

@kibijit Think of all he's been through from 5 or 7 and up, I wouldn't want anyone to recognize me ever :/ Just be a good drummer making good coin would be fine.

[JayJ741]
