The guy playing cowbell be grooving on the drum solo

[@jillfenton8273]

That's Norman Edwards Jr. from the band SpinKick. He's a great drummer, a mentor of Cooper's, and has amazing energy.

The kid on that drum set is super impressive

[@jillfenton8273]

Thanks - it's my son - he was 9 at the time.

[@HuggumsMcgehee]

He really is. He's not playing anything too flashy until the solo, but his time and musicality are so good you just forget he's there in the best way. You just KNOW he's a rock for that ensemble.

Very cool!

[@josiah566]

This is impressive! Very few drummers period can match Louis Cole's time and sense of groove - Cooper isn't just good for his age, he's just straight up GOOD!

[@jillfenton8273]

Thank you very much for you insight and kind words. Drumming is his passion and his life. He loves it. - Cooper's Mom
