The Next Neil Peart?

9 year old drummer Dylan displays amazing talent after only a few months of drum lessons. Notice the left handed drumming on the hi-hat and seamless switching to right on the floor tom. The title is in reference to Neil's popularity and skill, not that the solo mimics his style. Besides his teacher, Tim Gittens, his current influences are Aaron Solowoniuk (Billy Talent) and Rich Beddoe (Finger Eleven).

neil peart started drum lessons at 3 years old! what you talkin about 14

[leggobeas]

@drummerboi438 No, Neil got a pair of sticks and a pad at 13, then his first kit at 14. Check it out for yourself on wikipedia.

you need to get him a real drumset and a double pedal....really invest in this kid hes got it

[leggobeas]

He has a "real" drum set. He actually has both acoustic and digital. The digital kit in the video was what was provided by the school. A good drummer can play on garbage cans if he has to.

same here, sucks when you want to achieve a career in music but you take up an instrument at 16 years old. I practice like for hours everyday but its hard to make up 6 years of skill and self taught stuff (most drummers i know started at 10)

for the record, she wasnt comparing this kid to neil peart, but just saying he is developing similar style.

So crazy clown, when you say this kid CAN'T be the next neil peart, and that he's not as goos as him, ,remember this kid is NINE and neil peart has been paying since he was twelve and hes now 56. so a nine year old who has barley has months of lessons will for sure not be as good as neil peart now, but without a doubt become just as good or better if he wants to.keep it up!! your great :]

Kepp it up Lil' bro! you got a talent and use it wisley

[Apockiller]

Ok the kid is good. but I am not so sure on him being the next Pert.

[ludwigviper4468]

@WriterDude I know. I kept thinking why is he using his left hand. There's only one time Ive ever seen that.

[HuskyRonan]

I take them from Tim too!

[timthehippie]

Much credit and encouragement 4 that young man!! Dylan's got the talent, and I do hope he follows up on his gift!

Timothy

@clbgeballe good drummers dont need a double pedal to be good. 90% of drummers will show off with double pedals to create the illusion they are talented. some things can be cool on double pedal, but good chops with a single kick beats fast double bass any day of the week..

[francky101]

@leggobeas actualy you are right e started at 11, but he had a pair sticks and catalogues instead of practice pad

[grrrwaffles]

@leggobeas well said!!!

[hoosier9009]

@drummerboi438 he played piano for a long time..

leggobeas is right
