Check it out. One of the best, most tasteful drum solos I've ever heard. This kid's good!

Holy shit, again.

Side note: What a bunch of fucking idiots commenting below it.

Badass. When I was 12 , I was still throwing eggs at houses-- wait I still do that now..

 

[Shawn]

Awesome!

 

[Jason]

[Kane]

He's definately good for his age...

But I'm partial to George Kollias myself...

That kid almost reminds me of Thomas Haake from Meshuggah, stylisticly of course

I'm not sure I get the comparison. The kid seems much more of a jazz-influenced drummer, with some serious dynamic control, tasteful playing, etc. I've only seen the guy from Meshuggah do fast, loud, and technical.

Check the link I posted above. I think it qualifies as fast, loud, and technical.

I think I've seen that kid before on some TV show. Cool stuff though.

Yes, that's true. But I was talking about the one I posted, which I like better. The one you posted isn't bad, but it's of the million-notes-per-second variety. I dunno, I can listen to the one I posted more than once, but the one you posted just makes me think "Cool, that guy can play really fast"

If you guys check out the first album from the thrash band "Death Angel", their drummer was 12 when they recorded the album.
