So JonahRocks is now six years old.

It's been awesome watching him improve the last three years. Twenty years from now when he's a famous drummer in a band, I'll be able to think "hey, I saw him play when he was three years old".

Now with more cowbell.🙂

I feel like such a failure at life 🙁

well, he's got great taste in cymbals, that's for sure.


He must be sponsored, lol.

Wake me when he can play this:

I would rather kill myself than put more than 5 seconds of my attention into whatever that^ was

A bit difficult but he may well be able to play it after listening to it a few times. This kid has definitely got some talent and I'm glad that his parents are encouraging it. Hopefully he'll also be able to read & play music soon.

I agree. For 6 years old, he's pretty damn good. He's got all the potential to be a legendary drummer. However, I wouldn't say he's quite ready for hyper-fast technical death metal. That kind of precision and speed takes lots of practice. He could be there some day, for sure.

Why would we want to ruin his love of drums by making him play that? 😉

 

[ProfJohn]

When he is as good as Justin Bieber let me know...

Seriously, Bieber is actually a decent drum player...

He is sponsored to a degree apparently. In one of his vids there is a lengthy list of sponsors that he wishes to thank, many of which are the recognizable brands in percussion.

Is that music?

 

[brblx]

Is that music?

sure is. i'm not a fan either, but there is plenty of 'music' there. if you can't comprehend that, go take a music theory class or something (or learn an instrument).

and no, that kid could not play that drum part. is doesn't matter how talented he is, that kind of speed and endurance is not something you just 'learn.'

edit: listening to that, eh, black death speed metal band, there's actually some good fucking stuff in there.

edit2: surprise! melodic part with fem vocals! shit these guys'd be great if they'd just lighten it up a little. remember, black metal bands: music is the presence of sound and silence. ;P

Jonah learns the songs by ear from Youtube videos. Listens 2-3 times, practices a couple of times and then uploads on Youtube.

And yes, hes sponsored for his custom kit and his cymbals.
