HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!

Although you might be right when you say that he mustn't have had a life but the kid deserves credit!!

And I don't think that he's using a double pedal on his single bass drum (as someone has remarked above)- just listen...I mean John Bonham used to sound like he was using a double bass drum when, in actual fact, he was 'merely' using his skill!

' kid got talent, ain't he??

I'll have to disagree with you there. I can't believe that anyone could play the bass drum that fast with one foot (not even Bonzo or Carl Palmer) plus you can see the two beaters at one point in the video.

Yep that's the sad truth with these so called 'child geniuses', his parents probably gave him the sticks when he was a baby and forced him to play, to be honest I think it is a form of child abuse can he do anything else! bdoes he actually enjoy drumming?; often these child progidys end up as a mess when they're adults, so no when you look it as a whole I don't envy him. Prove me wrong but it seems that forcing kids is a phenomina largely in USA, we kiwis are too slack to be bothered with any of that.Sleepy
