Six Year Old Drummer...Impressive
« on: July 17, 2013, 08:42:05 PM »
I can see this kid either outgrowing music and getting bored with it (wait until he has his first girlfriend); or becoming so good at an early age that he's too much of an ass and a monster to play with when he's older; or he has a normal childhood, and can grow up to be well rounded. Glad I don't have to make parenting decisions for him. In the meantime...enjoy.

Okay, this is just ridiculous. That kid is crazy good. I know drummers more than thrice his age that can't play that stuff as clean as he does. Wow.
Hey dude slow the fuck down so we can finish together at the same time.  :biggrin:

I just spent the last 10 minutes digging up info on this kid called Thomas McRocklin who was a Steve Vai protégé back in the day. He was one of these kid wonders and even appeared in one of Vai's videos, but after some small success with a band called Bad4Good he seemingly quit music altogether, never to be heard of again.

He's too young to appreciate that song  :lol

Then I went to hear the real version for comparison...and I've always loved that video.  It reminds me of a time when seeing white people dance didn't seem so goofy.

Argument, the presentation of reasonable views, never makes headway against conviction, and conviction takes no part in argument because it knows.

That Bad4Good album was actually a pretty cool album.
