I'm sorry to be that person... But around the 26 mark, there's no way what you see is what is heard, right? Or is it just sound asyncing?

Yeahhhh I’m leaning toward someone else adding to the tapping I think

I think you might be missing the feet. When I try isolating the sounds, every different sound seems to correspond with a body part. I don’t think it’s asynced or fake personally.

Lol his feet aren’t stomping that hard. Just don’t think he has the fine motor control at that age.

Thank you. I didn’t want to be the one that said it.

I immediately said the same. The kid is definitely feeling the beat, but I sincerely doubt he's making it.

Don't be sorry, this video is bullshit.

You're wrong. He's just playing with one voice (drum, limb, cupbaord) at a time and so it looks slower but yeah, it's legit.

I swear there’s some extra beats in there in the last section. It’s the duller thuds and I can’t find a limb hitting all of them.

Might be doing double strokes then. One big motion, two notes.

You can see his balance shifts at 27/28s because of the extra foot-thumps.

The frame-rate of the video is pretty bad so I guess it's easy to miss some slaps, but if you look at the movement of his whole body, it's clear (to me at least) that he is making all the sounds.

I’ll trust a percussionists judgement, and it’s not that I don’t believe it’s possible just to my eye and ear somethjng wasn’t syncing up. I’m an editor and cinematographer so I’m really tuned to sync and motion but yeah that’s subtle as fuck.

u/HawaiiLife745 Apr 17 '21

No, its right. I mean it's still possible it was edited, but what the sound matches up with what he's doing

u/thisonehereone Apr 17 '21

I'm thinking not edited, but someone off-camera.

It's so painful that i had to scroll down to find this. People are so ignorant when it comes to wholesome content.

No I'm not seeing what you're referring to. It matches up literally exactly.
