One drum, but one of the better solos you'll ever see

Teach your kid to read music...the best guitarists and drummers are ones who know why they're playing this chord, or how to do this solo easier with rudiments, etc.

Thanks for the advice. If memory serves, you sir, are an afficiando of fine rock n roll.

I don't play musical instruments myself -- but I hired a guitar teacher that seems good. She also plays cello in the school orchestra. We have a piano and a few weeks ago she was playing that, she picked up the basics at her orchestra practice.

Now if only she could ride her freakin bike without crashing the damn thing I might be more sure that my wife wasn't banging the milkman!
 
I fucking love Peart.

Try introducing her to Cream -- they had such a great synergy, and Clapton, Bruce and Baker are each masters of their respective instruments.

This^^^

My kid is 14 and on his second band as a drummer, and he's quite good... but his school wouldn't even let him participate as a drummer/percussionist in the band program without a years piano lessons under his belt for this very reason.

Applies to guitarists too- Piano skillz are one of the most valuable things a young musician can learn, imho. Ignore Arpeggios > Aquire Piano Lessons (for now).

Oh, and Rush/Peart = All time favorite band for me, but some of the newer kids are fucking mind blowing... Chris Adler from Lamb of God? Thomas Lang? Etc?

Yowsah...

There's a reason for this. Percussionists are expected to play keyboard percussion as well:

Yeah, they strictly wanted him as a kit drummer, though- the rationale is that he needed to be able to read treble clef (which I support entirely).
 
There's some indoor percussion ensembles in the Chicago area. If he learns how to read music he can march God's drum corps, the Cavaliers (based out of Rosemont).

Here's a high school percussion ensemble:

And here's the cavaliers, totally worth watching the whole thing:

@ galacon -- Peart has a whole series of instructional drum vids on youtube. Your son might like them. Here's one...

Awesome find, man! Thanks for that, I will send him the link!

@ papjohn- Cavs are very cool- we've seen them perform locally many times. Incredible organization! If you guys ever get a chance to see their act, don't pass it up. Very professional.

Another cool thing I saw more recently.. Josh Freese set up a few FLIP video cameras and taped himself playing with NIN.
