I’m working with four-year-olds today, such a fun age! It’s got me thinking a lot about the environment kids grow up in, and he mystery of musical ability. Here’s a video that captures what a rich musical upbringing, supportive parents, and unswerving dedication to playing and practice can do for your music.
Lots to love about this video retrospective of Tony Royster Jr., an amazing drummer who clearly had drive, passion, and a rich musical environment as a kid. Drummers out there will appreciate this up-close (and sometimes slow-motion) look at some pretty amazing stick-work!
