Thanks Wayne! Actually I have been improving fairly rapidly and I do owe a lot of thanks to the people on this forum. You guys are like big brothers that are always encouraging me to keep going. Over the last couple of years I have had some excellent advice from members.
One of the best things so far was I had asked a member here for some constructive criticism on our tracks we laid down in the studio. He responded in detail and told me exactly what I wanted to hear, and it is helping me tremendously. This forum is extremely valuable for restoring, dating and learning about vintage drums but it is also a place to go when you are feeling a little low and need some words of wisdom to lift you back up.
Thanks big brothers!
Kid's really good, but this guy's my favorite young'n:

I was just joking about the worst drummer here.....I have said publicly that I don't care what I sound like, and totally never cared about what others thought I sounded like. Just ask my neighbors!Laughing H I play along to hair metal, the 80's stuff, to listen to that golden era of music and because I like to make a lot of noise. Mission accomplished.
I won't be entering the "best drummer on VDF" contest any time soon.....Laughing H
Kojo Odu Roney plays eons above his years.Incredible how a 9 yr. old can have the jazz chops and skills of a seasoned veterine drummer and make it look easy.Now that`s about enough to make any of us throw our sticks away,however...i think i`m going to hang onto mine awhile longer as there`s so much to learn. Even from a nine year old jazzer who could play in the "Big Leagues"...incredible!!!

And here's another little dude pulling off a high pressure gig...

On a similar note, these 12 year olds played Coachella and just signed a $1.7M deal with Sony.
Amazing, talented kids. They really killed it!
