Drummer looking for band...ages 10 and under (Rome)
6 year old drummer is looking for bandmates. Interested in metal but will play other genres. Please, nobody over the age of 10. Looking for guitarist(s) and bassist.Wow. Um, that's interesting. I'm all supportive of getting children started on music at a young age, but take a look at the first part of the second sentence. "Interested in metal." Um, huh? Let me see if I have this straight. This SIX-year-old, as in not-even-a-decade-old, wants to play in a metal band.
I'm trying to figure out just what's going on here. It could be a complete joke, made by some pranksters. Maybe some wise-ass teeangers, or a babysitter who saw the kid hitting the drums and decided to make a laugh of it. But let's assume that it's a serious post. It's obvious the kid didn't write the ad (unless he did, in which case I take back any criticism I have of the very concept in the wake of his sufficient writing ability.) I'm guessing its the work of his parents.
I have three theories for this. For starters, the kid is six years old? How effecient can he be at drumming? I'm not going to say that child is incapable of playing drums well, but what are the chances? Perhaps the parents heard the kid banging away on his drums one day and thought, "he's making a lot of nonsensical, incoherent noise. Hey, death metal is nonsensical, incoherent noise! Let's put him in a band!" The second theory is similar, except instead of taking advantage of their "gifted" child, they have mullets and still wear tight leather pants to Queensryche* concerts. In their refusal to grow up themselves, they've thrust a drum set in front of their child in hopes that he'll be the next Rikki Rockett**.
Of course, there's always the possibility that he just looks like this:
