Brandon's Peart/Portnoy Drum Medley

My 14 year-old son, Brandon Scott, playing drums to a medley he put together of songs by Rush and Dream Theater featuring two of his most influential drummers -- Neil Peart and Mike Portnoy. See more of Brandon Scott at http://www.brandonscottdrums.com/ .

This video was captured using a Canon EOS 5D Mark II camera.

Add another inspiration. look up Blake Richardson

[LorenScott69]

@OoDistortedHarpoO Oh, yea!  Brandon actually has already "upgraded" to Blake (and BTBAM). Search for "Brandon Scott Drums" and you'll find his covers of "White Walls", "Obfuscation", and "Prequel To The Sequel". Blake Richardson friggin' rocks!

@logansdrums The Chinas are Wuhans.

He does a decent job with the odd time signatures but it is very important that along with playing them he also understands them. It's easy to figure odd rhythms and time signatures but it's a whole new world when you can understand them.

[LorenScott69]

@PearlDrumsAllDay94 That is true.  And, yes, he does understand them too. :)

[HardcorePeter10]

Very good, but i think many kids would be as good as him if they get such a great drum set and a dad who buys that.

But anyway hes very talented

[Minotaur360]

Must be the best kid ever to have a sick recording studio and decked out drums. I wonder how many thousands that must've cost...

[muddywood]

@HardcorePeter10 It's not about having great equipment. It's about desire and the amount of time that is dedicated to doing whatever it is you want to get good at. And you can accomplish that on equipment that is not very expensive.

@LorenScott69 O/h lol i didnt know this was him my bad, yeah ive seen his covers. and i love the accurate use of the word upgrade :D

[SERCHSOS3722]

SHIT HE OWNS OCTOBANS!! D: I NEED SOME OF THEM :) 

[Sigrist666]

good job

[BurnThePope0514]

Having a parent to buy you a kit has nothing to do with skill. He would be just as talented on a standard kit.
