I hope this kid keeps playing more DT songs; he'll definitely need a bigger kit if he tries to play Stream of Consciousness :P

I feel like my life is a failure. He's playing Dance of Eternity that young? What have I done with my life that's remotely like that? Nothing.

What do you mean?? You've got 8,189 posts on DTF! You don't think that's an accomplishment?

Oh, yeah, actually I see your point.

Post by: BlobVanDam on August 29, 2011, 09:55:13 AM: I could point out the flaws of this, but you know what? Who cares. It's an 8 year old. Playing the Dance of fucking Eternity on drums. He had a pretty good understanding of the time sigs and patterns, even if his timing wasn't great, and he was on a tiny drumkit, especially compared to the MP monster kit. And he was doing DOUBLE KICKER. That was impressive.

If this was a 20 year old playing, I would think it's pretty bad. But it's an 8 year old. This kid has a lot of potential. He understands the drum beats. If he sticks to it and gets a more complete kit, this kid will get really good guaranteed.
