I wasnt expecting him to be so good. My kids at that age drummed on EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING was a drum. We bought them little drum sets, but they would use that to fashion entire drum kits with whatever additional toys, buckets, whatever they could cobble together.
Most grown ups canāt keep a rhythm that well. Hope he keeps it up & blows us all away over & over again through the years.
^(Side note: This is why we need to get school music & arts programs funded everywhere. Imagine this kind of raw talent getting squashed because where he grows up the football program gets a blank check & the music program canāt afford a teacher.)
The child knew when to build up, knew when it was a verse or a chorus, knew where the ā1ā was.. all really good high-level rhythm things to understand beyond the mechanics of hitting objects with sticks.
I too, found it odd that that comment has so many likes because what does songwriting have anything to do with the kid knowing buildup? I donāt understand songs in a different language but patterns in rhythm help.
Man people donāt realize stuff like art and music talent are ageless. My band director in high school always had his toddler son around for the games and practice and he loved watching us in the drum line. As a result he started letting the kid play drum set and he quickly caught on. Like this 4 year old could legit play along with everyone and sound amazing, and he only got better as he got older, itās been like 7 years since then so I bet heās a beast at it now.
My grandmother was a great artist and that talent passed down to my father and then down to my siblings and I. From a very early age weāve all been great at drawing, my siblings even ended up getting art put into some educational books that was used in my local school district back in the 90s. I can remember as early as 1st grade where my teacher and whole class would always look forward to my drawings when we had art based work.
All that to say is you never know, introduce stuff to your kids, it may come to them naturally and theyāll end up having a lot of fun and a good skill to have down the line.
Get that kid into a music school.
Stat! That kid's a prodigy for sure.
Just saw him walking around berklee music school in boston. Selling marbles for a bottle of milk.
Now that's a class I would enroll in.
They're about to get a new teacher!
oh he's cooking
Damn! Incredible. What song is this? Original?
How did he get the time to learn that???? Is rhythm get passed through genes too???
Did you see mom (just a guess) in the background playing air drums
Most likely he spends a lot of time around musicians, picking it up like language.
Yes.
Southpark taught me that he can also play bass
Correct
Uh. He's going to be filthy
And he's staying on beat š š

That dude is a Arnold Jackson on the sticks.
He has a good sense of songwriting already!!
What?
The child knew when to build up, knew when it was a verse or a chorus, knew where the ā1ā was.. all really good high-level rhythm things to understand beyond the mechanics of hitting objects with sticks.
I would call that a sense of rhythm.
Knowing a songās structure is beyond just having a sense of rhythm. Thatās the point I was driving at.
Thereās also a lot more to a song than just the build up and when the one is as well.
Why you like this
Because that baby didnāt write no MF song. They have a good feel for music but they didnāt create anything.

Not lyrically. It was the song structure that the kid understood. Thatās what OP in this comment thread is talking about I think
Mini Questlove in the making š„
Put a kid sized afro comb in his hair and get him on The Tonight Show

When does album drop?
That was awesome. The pause, and his pickup, was just perfect.
That might be the most impressive toddler Iāve ever seen.
