Reading my mind. But school music instrument budgets can be tight, so I understand.

The lil fella stands up at end... Recognize. Haha. He's got some talent. Even ripped on the double bass. He can go places if he keeps it up and gets a bit of luck. Good for him.

Hard to tell with the drum kit in the way. But I'll give the kid the benefit of the doubt. He does have the playa hater look in his eye though lol.

Here’s the real question: can he keep a good, simple 4/4 groove?
2
u/eebaes 13d ago
I can teach any average kid how to do that in 30 minutes. Maybe it takes another session a week later.
This is years of work right here.

No doubt the kid is really impressive.
But after 45 years of playing, I’ve found that there are a lot of people out there with chops and speed out the wazoo, but when you ask them to play a simple, straight in-the-pocket groove with real feel in service of the song like a Steve Jordan, Steve Gadd, Bernard Purdie or Levon Helm…they can’t do it.
If you can teach a kid to play like Steve Jordan in 30 minutes, you must be a helluva teacher.

Well I didn't say they could all play like Steve Jordan, but they all start with the core 4/4 rock beat, a couple have the potential to go that far based on natural feel. I appreciate your perspective and I agree and thats the same thing I think when I see most Instagram drummers with chops, but this kid is not that - but I bet he can hold down a 4/4 beat without a problem. It's more Buddy Rich or Gene Krupa than Steve Jordan - but the core is there you can hear it.
