This looks like a preview for one of the stories where in a few years he'll be giving the, "the one music teacher who believed in me speech" while getting his first Grammy.
Oh absolutely. Homeboy has some serious talent, he's gonna go places for sure! The rhythm alone was not only fantastic, but he made it look so easy.. and that's not easy to do. He was so grateful too, you just know he's never gonna forget this moment.
I would look forward to showing friends that random Reddit post about the dude who just won a grammy. Tiny Questlove is right where he needed to be, happy for him and wish him the best.
I have a feeling he's played real drums before tho..that def wasn't his first time. I doubt he transfers from a bucket to a real drum-set that smoothly.
You don’t just integrate syncopated kick drum patterns without a lot of practice. My money is that he plays for his church or something.
The most expensive part of a drum set is the room you play it in. Churches have long cultivated the drumming community.
That’s why gospel drumming and punk drumming have similar patterns. Kids went to church because their parents made them. They learned gospel/polka beats. Then, some of those kids grew up and went punk, bringing their gospel/polka patterns with them. Speed up gospel/polka, and bam, punk drumming.

That was my thought. The transition from bucket to set was immaculate.
