He needs a good teacher to help him with his time. If they don't get that corrected before his head gets too big, he will never have solid time.

If Randy Rhoades were alive today he would stomp all over that half-arsed guitar player anyday. He didn't even include a guitar solo nor did he even play the entire song.
Other then that the dummer is pretty good, for being 4 years old. He did kind of look goofy, but that's besides the point. I bet his parents push him a bit to hard if he's drumming to ozzy songs by that age. I doubt a 4 year old would have the drive to do this himself. |

This kid could be the next drum virtuoso. All he needs is a metronome for his birthday.
He's many times better than me.

I'm thinking he's probably better at rhythm, but just got really excited. I think it's more like he needs to follow the "whatever you play, it has to be on the beat, and concentrate on that rather than anything else" rule. 
But hey, he's only 4. When I was 4... um...

He just camped out on an a rack with electronic pads and started wailing away. I came back around about an hour later and he was still there! Not sure if he just didn't have anywhere else to go or if he had an endorsement deal with the company! |

They be yelling "This kid SUCKS!" "He can't even play in time!!"

It's not this kid though...anyone know how old this kid is now? I think this had to be a while back because that TV show he's on at the beginning of the video isn't on anymore I don't think.
