Some kids are born to perform, from a young age they light up the stage and captivate those watching. This 3-year-old drummer from Russia is gifted beyond belief. The toddler leads an adult orchestra while playing the drums at an expert level. Be prepared to be blown away, this is no ordinary kid.
What an incredible child, where did he learn to play the drums like that?
This 3-year-old child prodigy playing the drums will give you goosebumps.
Lyonya Shilovsky from Novosibirsk, Russia, was just a 3-year-old drummer in this breathtaking video. He runs on stage with an adorable mohawk, skipping along like any other kid. But Lyonya has a very special gift.
The toddler learned how to play the drums and was featured on a Russian talent show where he leads an orchestra. Even the adults on stage are flabbergasted by the young boy’s abilities.
Sitting on his tiny chair, he proceeds to play an impressive piece on his drum kit that’s modified to fit him.
As he bangs away on his modified drum kit, his father kneels behind him clapping. It’s as if the 3-year-old is in a trance-like state, there’s no stopping him once he starts.
His quick little hands rapidly strike the drums, as he continues to play the complex number.
At one point, the drumming prodigy drops one of his drum sticks and his dad saves the day.
I’m sure it’s hard to keep hold of the skinny drum sticks, especially when you’re in the zone like Lyonya. Without skipping a beat, the pint-sized musician recovers his stick and plays on.
Once the orchestra is finished, Lyonya starts drumming a phenomenal solo. The other musicians look on in amazement, this kid is unreal!
After playing a brilliant solo drum piece, the 3-year-old refuses to leave the stage. Eventually, he’s hoaxed off by a bouquet of flowers
The crowd went wild when Lyonya finished playing, this prompted him to began playing again and it was hilarious. Like any other 3-year-old, he can’t help but fight his father when it’s time to go.
YouTube went crazy for the drumming prodigy, this is a video you’ll have to watch over and over.
