The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsYoung Talent
Found these young musicians in the making online, and thought I'd share the links.
This one's of Tony Royster Jr., a 12 year old drummer.
And, here is an assortment of Jerry C's guitar work.
I took the one and added it to another just for fun. Too bad Jerry C's already has a drumbeat background because it would be neat to find something that could put the two in sync.
Maybe these guys should get together to form a rock band, lol.
But, then again, there's always this talent: a kid playing a head flute using what looks like a condom, lol.
UPDATE: MacBros left a comment here that I want to bring out front for people to read. To me, this is one reason why I don't listen to todays pop music; there's no real talent in it worthy of my money:
When I was out playing gigs, I met this kid that was just like that drummer you posted (not as good, but almost).Thanks, MacBros, too true.
One day my drummer was in this mood that ended up running for about a week. Myself and the other 3 members of the band were getting tired of the bitching and complaining from our drummer (Seems to be something with drummers, as every band has one apparently), but anyway, I told the rest of the guys about this kid I know, and we decided to let him tag along with us for a practice session (With parental approval, DAMN NO BOOZE THAT DAY!)Our drummer shows up (2 hours late as usual) and we're jamming with this little 14 year old (It was sounding awsome too, if it weren't for labour laws preventing him from playing out in night clubs, we would have fired our drummer that day!)
But this was just a wake up call. My Drummer comes in and sees/hears us jamming, walks in and says, "WTF!?"
"Um, damn, this is unconfortable man, " we say, "But we've replaced you with somebody that doesn't need a reason to complain."
He kicks a bunch of shit around and goes out to his truck and starts loading his stuff back in.
We let him reload eveything back in...and then go out to tell him that, "Hey, we were just fu*$ing with ya man!"
I guess it scared the crap outta him, because his attitude changed from that day forward and was more of a team member, than just a drummer.
If all musicians seen these kids these days, and saw them play just because it's fun. We wouldn't be forking out $30 a CD and paying $100 for a concert ticket.
The music industry is so one track minded these days. Only focused on the almighty DollarMillion Dollar!
Whatever happened to, playing because you lived to play?
