Adding her in is the perfect combination, her powerful drumming goes right along with the Jaydens voice! They’re just young kids, but they sound and play better than most adults.

How do these kids sound so good?! They’re far beyond their years, it’s surprising they even know a Simon and Garfunkel song, let alone want to cover it! Also, the videographer who shot the video really knows his way around the camera!
