I like that joke, haven't heard it in a while. The young drummer should be taught other instruments AND to read music too. By that age I was reading the grand staff and in a couple years after that I was performing with an all adult choir, except for me, and able to read most scores... we were doing Bach, Beethoven, Handel, etc...

If he has shown this talent by this age, he needs to keep challenged, as you said. And hopefully his parents allow him access to some real music beyond the two or three chord stuff he's playing to, and know that there are vocalists who don't sound like an alley cat with asthma making noises as if it's undergoing brain surgery without anesthesia.

Wish the kid well.

Amazing!!! What a talented kid. OregonBlue Dec 2013 #1
