Mick Demos Drum Styles to Sierra Canyon 4th Graders

I think the gravity of that situation will escape most of those fourth graders. All they might remember is that some famous giant old man played drums with their teacher. Only the staff could really understand and fully appreciate it. I would love to hear what kind of questions the kids asked.

Oh, "giant old man" is hilarious.

I do think drums are the instrument that most young children would be drawn to, because they aren't worried about finding the 8 beat. They just see it as making noise in a pattern, but what to them is not a set patter. Therefore, on the surface, it looks like something they could master without technical knowledge or training. So, I think it would be more fun for them to have Mick come than some pianist.

I wonder which FM song he played a video of to drum along to?
