Just like this 4-year-old painter, this young drummer is learning to be a musical artist at a young age. I can only imagine how talented she will be as an adult. As a tiny preschooler, you would think she would have problems hitting the bass drum or reaching the cymbals; however, she holds her own and wows the crowd.
