A video showing a 3-year-old boy playing the drums is blowing viewers’ minds worldwide. There are plenty of videos online of youngsters playing drums, but not one where the boy is leading a full 65-piece orchestra in front of a live audience.
The boy appeared on the talent show ‘Minute of Fame,’ which has gone viral since then. Audiences worldwide can’t believe their eyes when they see this adorable boy in action.
The cute toddler is brought to the stage by his dad, who sits next to him through the performance. After the conductor explains what is about to happen, they all start playing.
They perform ‘Orpheus in the Underworld,’ often known as ‘The Can-Can,’ by Jacques Offenbach. The youngster doesn’t have a single sheet of music in front of him; he memorized it all.
He begins playing and executes the crescendos, diminuendos, and accompanying rhythms wonderfully. Everything is going swimmingly until tragedy hits. He loses his grip for a fraction of a second and drops his drumstick to the floor.
The boy bends down nonchalantly, takes it up, and proceeds. At that point in the video, I’m striking the precise note that the orchestra is working on. He plays, turns around, and looks at the conductor without missing a beat or looking at the drums.
The act captivates the audience. Most people have no idea how a little boy can learn this skill and have the confidence to perform in front of so many people.
