Hit Me Baby One More Time!

Gabe's interest in and proficiency at the drums has increased by leaps and bounds. While I have to creatively divert his attention from going at it all day, he on the other hand finds creative outlets to release that passion and energy.

Dai seefu (big teacher) has a drum set and it's parked at but a stone's throw from our place. An invitation came to Gabe one day, for him to have some fun there.

Seen here, the little drummer boy and his rendition of Desert Song. Video courtesy of the dai seefu and his brother B. Gabe was 2.75 years old. You can see him receiving cues from his seefu; how anal he is when he has to stop and adjust things out of position; intensifying his "crashing" as the music crescendos. Oh, he left the place with a blister on each index finger, the result of the hour-long bashing on the drums. Looks like our friend has experienced what it means to be a committed musician!
