Shame he is being taught that playing along with karaoke tracks is a GOOD thing, though..!

you know, Diki is right. Notice, the kid stops to "catch up". That's not what drummers do.
they set, keep time and drive the music as part of the section.

Still, pretty impressive.

Cmon guys ... Hey, haven't we all played along with recordings when we were learning? And it's not like a recording is gonna catch up with us if there is any fluctuation in timing is it?

In fact I still do that all the time when I am learning cover songs to play with my band. There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing that so I don't understand why you would criticize anyone for doing it. What other option is there when you are playing alone learning to play a band part?????

My little 3 year old grand-daughter has just been diagnosed as slightly autistic, I wish she could play the drums like that, I would sod the timing for her to be OK.

Nigel is right...nothing wrong with playing along with recordings to learn. It's just that, for drummers, particularly, there eventually needs to be a transition to a more active role of setting time, tempo changes, etc.

And, I don't know about Diki, but ANY mention of karaoke, and seeing people play along with tracks, calling it "live" music kind of makes be shiver all over.

Besides backing tracks used in major comercioal productions , for examople on Broadway, Disneyland, TV, & Concerts etc, etc, on stage all the time, I guess playing against arranger styles & smf files are included in that K mix just wondering I see no difference?
