THE STAGE — It can take years and years to master a musical instrument.
Some people basically start from scratch, using their passion to drive them to practice for hours and hours every day. Then there’s the people who are born with an innate gift, that with practice, lets them master their craft in an incredibly short amount of time.
That’s why child prodigies are a thing, after all.
Well, one adorable child prodigy named Justin is about to melt your face off with an incredible drum solo.
In this Twitter clip, Justin is playing with a band when the moment takes him into a drum solo. As he gets going, the band completely stops playing so they can witness what is happening before them.
Indeed, as Justin finishes his solo and goes back to the original rhythmic beat, the bass player drops his head and covers his eyes, completely awed by what he just heard.
The band had to stop and let him flex 😄🙌🏽 pic.twitter.com/aBRub7ThzP

This musical genius makes it all look frustratingly easy, moving with a speed and coordination that blows the mind. I mean, sometimes I have trouble walking without tripping, and this 5-year-old kid has the coordination and ease of movement of a ballet dancer.
You can see more of Justin and his adorable personality on Instagram as @babyboydrummer and on his YouTube channel.
