Drummer reacts to Caleb H - Dream Theater - Under a Glass Moon

[@calebhdrummer4]

Thank you 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@JasonSayersDrums]

No, thank you Caleb! Such a talented drummer! You will go far!

[@bheaps82]

You're amazing lil man keep grinding bro can't wait to see you on stage in a few years.

[@michaelgiaquinto3295]

Caleb h drummer mom what happen to the original non reaction of under the glass moon?!

[@reddruid7691]

You must be in awe of what you have created, Caleb has reset the bar for generations...

[@ellenmarie23]

Thank YOU

[@johnforman2264]

This is not possible with typical musicians. I was advanced in my teens and early 20's. Here I am at 58 (still drumming) and I'm watching this child of 6 (SIX!) do such complex patterns & coordination... that simply cannot be performed by many musicians... much less a child. Truly amazing to watch!

[@DomM3596]

Exactly! I'm 45 now, been playing bass in many bands for almost 30 years now, with the most outstanding drummers, but man, I simply cannot believe my freaking eyes and ears! 6 years old, man!?!

[@theblackestvoid]

He's a freak. A genuine prodigy. I've never seen a kid this young this good. None of the other youtube drummers play anything anywhere near as complex as the stuff he does and they're all like double his age. It's mindblowing. His understanding of patterns is unbelievable. I'm glad he gets recognition from great musicians though so far he's gotten the co sign from Joey Jordison, Jay Weinberg, Ray Luzier, Jordan Burns and a few others too and Carmine Appice has taken him under his wing. His eyeless cover and his Tom Sawyer cover are top tier with this.

[@adrieadamowicz9222]

He's a very good drummer.

[@philip6502]

He's NOT a freak. 🤨

[@philip6502]

@Adele K And that's why "trendy" words don't work. I don't care about PC, but clarity is important. 👍

@@philip6502 freak of nature has been around for generations, it's not a trendy word. Did you time travel from centuries ago?

[@cleverlies4713]

I’m almost 70. I was a freak in the 1960’s. I am becoming one again. I won’t pick on the guy that said freak because immediately in the next sentence a bigger positive statement saying he’s a prodigy. Nothing but a positive paragraph. Let us not make things I to be critical.

[@bewilderment9268]

Caleb is on par, already, with some of the best the world has ever known. Born with a drummers soul. New MOON rising.

[@jmzsil]

He's going to be one of those musicians that are so talented, people will recognize him by his first name only.

[@EgyptianGodess4C]

Neil is smiling down from above ❤️ Prodigy

[@Goldenlion61803]

The joys of an ego less drummer. He’s so soooo good. Can’t wait to see what he does. Go Caleb!!!

[@chriscooper4483]

The skill of this young lad is incredible; especially with such a difficult track, is rimshots are clean and precise and his coordination at such a young age is amazing ( is as if there’s a grown man who’s been drumming for years inside the young man) awesome

[@PbPomper]

This shouldn't be possible. Incredible talent and incredible respect for putting all the work in.

[@andrewpreble1180]

Love it...its not like a piano recital...the various bands he emulates are the elite .Dream Theater, Rush and such...its like he's got 50 gallons of talent in a 5 gallon bucket

[@brentj.peterson6070]

DT songs are hard for adults. I can't get over this freakishly gifted amazing kid.❤️🥁

[@bukeksiansu2112]

Freak of nature. He's born to be a drum master, that's the way it is, nobody can't stop it.

[@philip6502]

He is not a freak. 🤨

[@brianjames7607]

A born drummer for sure. His father answered a question on one of the videos when Caleb was three. His father said Caleb was tapping with pencils when he was sixteen months old, perhaps imitating his father playing his drums.

[@jmzsil]

I watched his paradise city 3 y.o.) then a rush tune (6?) His technical progression is impressive and excellent.

[@glencarson2635]

Most times, when we see a young kid at age 6 or 7 playing covers, they're playing along to AC DC, or Kiss... or other simple songs. I have never, ever seen a kid THIS young playing this kind of prog with odd times signatures and crazy footwork. Wow. The only thing that could possibly screw this kid up (other than maybe drugs or booze when he's older) is if, IF he is not able to handle all the praise (such as my post) and his ego destroys his future career. Let's hope he somehow keeps his feet on the ground.

[@theblackestvoid]

and there's nothing wrong with that either, those kids aren't bad playing AC/DC or guns n roses etc, just this kid is a prodigy. Truly unbelievable.

[@greenoregonian2907]

He’s gonna change the drumming world if he hasn’t already.

[@publicprofilename4273]

This feels me with so much joy and so much anger. Yup, me too pal, me too.

[@crionix71]

Just insane. Hitting the cymbals so precicely during snare drums and the hi hat.... man and the double base work.... I am flattened. That must be some kind of Mozart of drums or that kind.

[@hanzketchup859]

He didn’t even break a sweat ! Cheers Caleb

[@stephenteller]

As a drummer I had the exact same responses you did.He also lays into the kit like nobody’s business! Slammin those cymbals…

[@DeliaDCabatbat]

Freak of nature! Total recall drummer !AMAZING!!!!

[@delorisoakes7242]

The Jimi Hendrix of drumming right here.... No one ever like hendrix.....no one ever like Caleb! I would love to hear him play Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, the who, blind faith/cream.....I would love to hear him cover all the greats! He is the only one that could keep up and do as good of a job as the originals....who could do that? This kid! That's who! I just watched the greatest drummer in the world right here!!! A 6yr old that is better than most professionals.

[@theblackestvoid]

He's covered Zeppelin. But most of those bands don't have as technical drumming as Dream Theater.

[@shelleyroe9797]

I watched this video on Caleb’s channel first (I, first watched a Slipknot cover by Caleb) then jumped to Caleb’s Channel-clicked on the Dream Theater cover 🤘🏻…and my mind is blown…🤯 speechless 😱…then watched your reaction to Caleb…😳😱…Priceless..😂🥰…💪🏻🙏🏼 Thank you!!!

[@herbertbarron4068]

This young man is amazing!!!! Can't wait to see him when he gets older and becomes a full blown legend.

[@tweevers2]

The fact that he is decently constistent with each hit. As well as the way he hits then rest his hands/arms after each hit is that of of a more advanced player.He has a straight and balanced economy of motion in his arms and his wrists. His wrists are surely beyond the normal looseness and dexterity of a little kid. A relaxness and fluid limb flow,that which one usually obtains once becoming more a seasoned player.

[@mick1406]

Caleb H - what! Unbelievable skills! A true drumming prodigy.

[@albertolazarounzagafernand8265]

[@jimscaccia5416]

I started playing at 5 .I'm 58 now and have to say this is god given talent.Hes a phenom.

[@tomgio1]

Have watched a few of this prodigy’s videos, and have all the jaw-dropping compliments re chops, coordination, etc. What just hit me, though, is his memory ability. At this age, I was learning to spell my last name.

[@Ultra-Collector]

As a professional musician,guitarist and drummer ,playing since age 4 ,i’ve literally had a plethora of instruments around the house my sons entire life! While interested here and there and told he could play or pickup anything,anytime ,day or night! A time sadly came where he said “Dad”music and instruments just weren’t my thing!” It was very heartbreaking ,but we had to just accept it ;.(..

[@robertcallahan4065]

I would like to watch Caleb do a serious jazz number, aka Buddy Rich, I think he could do it in a short time

[@michaelwoodward5787]

Natural rhythmic talent. Gifted.

[@hunter1961100]

He did get to sit in on a sound check with evanescence. and he killed it, and their their drummer was digging it

[@publicprofilename4273]

Look at dude's wear patterns on the heads. Wow!

[@asteelcowboy]

Jason: "His dad must be a drummer." That, and the fact that this is obvious proof of reincarnation of a drummer who said to God, "Look, maybe I messed up in that last life, but give me another chance, dude!" To which God responded, "Ok, you get one more chance, but only if you stop calling me dude!" And, whamo, we watch with amazement as John "Bonzo" Bonham (who was also drumming at age 6) lives now as Caleb H.

[@JasonSayersDrums]

Couldn't agree more! He has been on this planet before lol

[@draven3838]

The old adage is teach them young ,kids learn best really young ,so with him doing this he will be able to play anything.

[@michaelgiaquinto3295]

Jason we need a new reaction video from you from Caleb. He’s been doing a lot since panic attack under the glass moon.

This is an example of pure GT. I taught vocal music at the elementary level. Kindergarten and 1st graders have a hard time keeping a simple steady beat.

[@FireoftheGreeks]

Every once in a "Blue Moon" someone comes along that truly is a Prodigy in every sense of the word. Eddie Van Halen, Billy Sheehan, Neil Peart, Randy Rhodes and so on. I look forward to the legacy this young man is going to leave on music over his lifetime. One of the kind of musicians that both makes you want to play (the drums, guitar etc) but at the same time makes you not want to play because you would never be this good at it. 50 years from now imagine what all the drummers will be saying about that one "kid" from the 2016's, is his name going to come up in conversation with the rest of the greats? I think so.
