I've been after the boy to let make a new video of him,well I did,but its pretty dark,but you get the idea. He's been playing a little over a year now. I think he's getting pretty good.

Yeah he seems to be coming along just fine. Does he take lessons? I don't do that much with my doubles. I added them after I'd been playing for a while and am still getting used to them.

He just does a lot of youtube surfing for lessons vids,and just playing. There are no places around here that give lessons,I don't think he would listen anyway..lol So some DVDs,internet, and natural ability. He is very self driven when it comes to playing,can't stop if he wanted too. Plays drums on everything all the time,without stopping,it's just second nature.

I have yet to get a double bass pedal- We've got one on the kit at church, not that it ever gets played but I do use it when goofing around. He seems to be coming along pretty well and theres a lot of good stuff out there on you tube. He might want to check into vicfirth.com as well. There are a lot of 100% drummers out there and a real good clinician I think he'd have fun watching would be Dom Famularo- oyu tube him and check a few out

I checked out Dave Weckl,wow he is good,not that a metalhead 15 yearold would like him though.

Yeah, Weckl may at first not seem like a good match for his style but he has some teaching videos that your son would do well (when he's ready to listen ) to adopt to his style of play. Weckl and so many others are out there promoting a more "loose" style of play that a metalhead would find less tiring over hours of play. But there are many others out there as well.
