Remember when you were 7 years old and you totally slayed at the drums, impressing metalheads around the world as they flocked to your YouTube page? Oh right, that’s not you. I got you confused with Avery Molek. The kid has been drumming since he was 3, and by now he can tear through Rush songs better than most kids his age can tear through a big stack of legos. Here he is playing “YYZ” and making you feel like you wasted your youth playing video games and doing homework.

This kid’s parents did a great job. Listening to Rush and playing an instrument like that at his age. Marvelous.

I hope so. High School’s formative years are crucial for one’s personal growth as well as education!

That’ll wipe that grin off his face

The fact that this kid has to stand up to reach the high toms and the left-front crash and doesn’t lose much time while doing so is impressive

Look at him smiling while he wails out. He’s having a ball! God Bless him!

I suspect this video has been sped up, something about his movement seems like it.

So this kid learnt the song in slow motion just for them to speed it up?

3:14. Watch him spin the cymbal with his hand in the middle of a roll. Love it. He is happy, untainted and not yet jaded. So innocent.

Hate to be “that guy”, but anybody noticed at the 1:15 bit he’s constantly playing the snare but we’re not hearing it? It’s playback =[
Don’t get me wrong though, he looks amazing for a 7-year old xD

What do you mean? I can hear his snare just fine.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to play perfectly to a playback? It’s easier to just play the song.

Why is there always at least one douche bag who cries “fake” when it obviously isn’t?? Kid’s played on stage dozens of times, once in front of 20,000. Has 200+ videos, from age 3 to 9, many of those live, most in his basement. Yet there’s always one idiot claiming “fake”. Are they that stupid, or just asswipe trolls? The mind reels.

huh? oh yeah, its in my butt / May 13, 2014 12:15 pm
Not as impressive as the 3 month old baby I saw on Youtube perfectly nailing all Kerry King’s solos.
