Only way this could be better is if Jay himself had came out to give him the snare drum.

Yet to have Jay come out and give him the snare drum and autograph it himself that would have been the final touch..

There's nothing more honest than the joy of children. Watching the last seconds when he got the snare already made my day and woke about 20 mins ago 😅

I really don’t like this show p, but I legit teared up seeing Caled get that Snare. Growing up a young musician, I know how that feels when you get that one piece of kit you have always wanted.
