His 12yo performance is one of the most jaw dropping things i ever saw in any musical domain ;-)

He already is

This is my signature comment in all videos of this kind

He is pretty big time now. He plays for jay z or at least used to

Wait so he was a drummer for a pop/rap artist? I don't listen to Jay Z but does he drum like this in the songs? cuz if not then he needs to do more of this.

+Snail Man nah bro when it comes to touring drummers you kind of need to stay on the down low. Let the artist get all the attention, get your check and go XD sad but true

Check out any of his videos on an acoustic kit. This Roland's don't do him any justice

Eric Moore has already done it!

Marryon Lillibridge aa

That's all I was thinking the entire time he was playing! \m/

Chris adlers black cousin XD

Why do you say that? Why would an "average musician" have trouble recognizing great playing? Personally, I think that many musicians would enjoy this and think that it's great while others might think that it's just someone moving their hands really fast. You know, just like normal people might.

My point was that even musicians, to a certain extent, don't have the musical context to understand the complexity here.

Honestly, I feel like Tony might not even understand what he's playing sometimes. I don't mean that he isn't able to, but as a drummer, I often do things just out of "feel" or instinct and when I think about them after (or listen to them) I say to myself, "wow, what did I do there?". As for context, I think that the electronic drums in this video provide great musical context with their samples and non-traditional drum sounds. Which is to say, non-musicians or even non-drummers can hear how his drumming makes sense as part of a larger whole of a track/song/performance.

LenMan619 I had a (english comp) professor once who told me how she loved math and it was a real easy class for her to breeze through, but english classes were always a struggle for her. Naturally I asked if math was her favorite subject why did she not teach it? Her reply was that she never really "understood" how to learn math (it all came naturally to her) whereas all the struggling that she had to endure in english classes left her with a better understanding of how to learn (and thus teach) that subject. I think that the same can be said of many prodigies or other naturally talented persons: when asked how they can do such amazing things, they might not know how it happens. I don't think that's true of everyone, but I do believe that it's pretty common.

fullautomatic555 Haha John Petrucci Syndrome- any video where he tries to explain what he's doing leaves me in fits of laughter haha
