8-Year-Old Drummer Tackles Van Halen’s ‘5150’!

by VHND — updated January 14, 2015 Leave a Comment

8-year-old drumming sensation Avery Molek returns with an outstanding version of Van Halen’s “5150.” One look at the video and you will clearly see that the Van Halen force is strong with this one. In addition to playing along perfectly with the beat, Avery can seen smiling exuberantly as he lip syncs to the words and plays a little air guitar on a drumstick during an unaccompanied part of the guitar solo.

“I love rockin out to Van Halen!” Avery said in the comments under his video on Youtube. “They kick butt!!”

 Yes, Avery, we know. We know.

How do you think he did? Share your thoughts in the comments section.
