6-Year-Old Drummer Shreds Van Halen’s ‘Hot For Teacher’ (Video)

by VHND — updated May 22, 2020 Leave a Comment

 

Here’s an awesome display of talent from a very little guy! Avery Molek is 6 years old and loves rock ‘n’ roll and playing the drums. He has been taking private drum lessons since the age of 4. This week he uploaded a video of him shredding his way through Van Halen’s classic scorcher, “Hot For Teacher.”

In addition to doing covers, Avery has played 15 shows all at the age of 5. Six of the shows were solo one hour shows and nine shows were playing in four different live bands spanning in four states. That was what he calls his 2012 “Out Of The Basement” tour. “Yes, I said ‘Tour’! I am only 6! So anything more then one gig is a Tour!”, says Avery. Most notable were The Hard Rock Cafe, The Illinois State Fair & Sturgis Fest “Bike Week” in Michigan.

Avery has also had many interviews by magazines, newspapers & TV stations. On top of all that, he’s cute as a button. (Lookout, girls!)
