Unbelievable Story......World's Youngest Drummer

A 3-year-old Detroiter with a 20-piece, custom drum set, who jams with famous session players and assorted musicians. Julian Pavone started drumming at the age of three months, landed his first contract gig at 15 months old, and has played at the House of Blues. I watched the videos of him drumming ("Brickhouse" and "Smoke on the Water," among other songs) and was stunned. See his videos here.

"He plays like a 30-year-old with such precision, definition and focus that it's incredible," said Grammy Award-winning guitarist and producer Michael J. Powell.

..."I strapped him in a baby (sling) at 3 months to practice the drums and Julian reached up and grabbed my drum sticks from me and started playing on the tom-tom. By 9 months he could do drum rolls and I knew he had a gift from God."

This kid is too amazing for words. See this article about him and his family.
