This guy is crazy good,

Love Van Halen, have always loved the drum intro to this song, have always felt Alex Van Halen gets overlooked when when drummers are talked about.

Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did, at the very end he explains learning the into part of the song..

    Have you ever watched Avery Molek play? Check him out at 6 yrs old playing this and then in his later years. I really enjoy watching his videos. His video gave me a whole new appreciation of Brad Paisley's guitar playing, dude can rip.

    Speaking of Brad, his bit in this Guitar Center Sessions collab was awesome and he is playing next to some amazing guitarists too.

    Amazing talent. I spent a couple of hours this afternoon watching his videos. He performs mostly metal covers, but definitely a lot of skill required. I was selfishly hoping for some Rush, but none to be found.

    His drum kit is actually rather basic, but boy, does he know how to get the most out of it.

    I eventually watched his 'My Story' video, which was really interesting. His 'goal' was never really musicianship, but rather, just challenging himself as to what he could accomplish with his kit as an untrained musician.

    He is a fantastic drummer for sure, BUT - if he’s going to play Alex, he’s gotta take the spring off his snare!!
