System of a Down Drummer Boy Will Melt Your Face Off [VIDEO]
via Mashable! by Brenna Ehrlich on 1/14/10
It's that time again, folks ― time for another viral vid of a kid who
is so incredibly gifted that you'll a). Come to loathe your own child
for his/her inadequate talent show skills, b). Fall into a deep sea of
depression when faced with the listless path your life has taken. I
give you: 5-year-old Jonah Rocks.
This little video hit YouTube just a few days ago, and it's already
going viral, giving other pint-sized performers like Ukulele boy and
Rush Girl a run for their proverbial money.
But this little dude is no flash-in-the-pan prodigy ― he even has his
own website (which ― be warned ― has autoplay music) replete with more
videos and photos of Jonah and the band KISS His bio, from the "About
Me Section":
"Way back in 2008, at the age of 3, Jonah Rocks was lining up his
Play-Doh cans to make a drum kit. He would sneak all the baby spoons
from the cupboard, and use them as drumsticks. His daddy asked him if
he wanted a real drum kit, and of course, Jonah said 'YES!' Once he
sat down behind that kit, and held that first pair of 7A's in his
hands, he has never put them down, playing as much as he can, whenever
he can. Jonah is completely self taught, never had a lesson, and if
you've watched him play, you know he absolutely loves it."
Check out his cover of System of a Down's "Toxicity" below:
