Ok, this kid gets mad props for dedicating the solo to Tony Williams first off. Secondly, his playing is pretty insane for 12yrs old, hell, its pretty insane for someone 2-3x that age hehe.
Without further ado... http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...78801028416342
Google video search ftw~ |

| | | Haha, that's weird, I was just thinking of this clip this morning as I was driving to work, and here it is tonight as I check in on TB. Never gets old though, I love watching someone tear up the drum kit. 
As stated, this video is several years old. He's 21 now. |

Drum solos such as this dont really wow me though, i mean yea its reallly really good, technically profound, etc,butlike its not very rythmic, its a bunch of stop and go little chops. Idk its kinda like,..drum wanking? |

| | ...cultural explorer | | Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Hinsdale, IL - outside Chicago | | | He's good, no doubt. But most of it is just fast double bass. Sounds real hard, but my drummer can do that.....and he's just 15.
He's still good, though.
Plz don't flame........who is Tony Williams?

He's apparently the only person who told Miles he should practice, and Miles started practicing afterwards. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
