Very good!! The kid has a great sense of rhythm and throws in some nice fills. His base drum work was a basic beat. I'd work with him to develop a baad right foot to strengthen the bottom end.

Oh yeah, everyone drops a stick occasionally. Even me.

I had one that bounced off the wall behind me one time, I caught it and kept playing. No camera, no witnesses, might as well never have happened.

I used to have windows behind me, I counted 11 sticks in the blinds once. Helped when funds were short and I needed new ones :D:

I flipped one in the air during a gig. I lost it in the stage lights and got hit in the head. The crowd enjoyed that one.

I think he is animatronic! Unbelieveable!

So did Neal Smith (from Alice Cooper) recorded for all eternity on "Be My Lover" (specifically at 3:02 on the song off of "Killers")

He explained in an interview that he had a habit of twirling the sticks, like on stage, even in the studio. The producer always yelled at him not to do it and one day, he dropped it. And near the end of the song you can hear this "tik, tik, tik.." of the drum stick falling into his kit..

I dropped one on TV.

Awesome video! How many 3-year-olds have that kind of focus. And he looked like he was having a great time. :D:
