😂 Its not playing in the namibian desert for all eternity for no reason 🏜️ Toto's "Africa" has come home, so to speak, thanks to an installation by an artist who plans to play the song on loop in a Namibian desert -- for eternity. German-Namibian artist Max Siedentopf has set up the sound installation, called "Toto Forever," in an undisclosed location in the 1,200 mile-long Namib Desert
Hey young man you got those fills down. And have you done duran durrans rio? Its a fun one with good fills. I mostly play hip hop beats well funk i guess. And cover some james brown too. You can blame karl for me watching. Ill subscribe good luck monetizing.
@@sambickmore Hmm, Well, it's one of 4 options. Karl is: Your Dad's brother's son Your Dad's sister's son Your Mom's brother's son Your Mom's sister's son. Only the first of those four has your parent and Karl's parent sharing the name Smallwood, unless there's an English version of Kentucky 😉
Having tried and failed with various musical instruments over the years myself, I've come to a greater appreciation of anyone who can actually make it work, and you cancertainly can make it work! 👌👍 And it's clear that playing drums brings you joy; I hope you never lose that joy, and thank you for sharing it with us! 😊 Just remember that "success" does not necessarily mean fame or fortune, it means achieving your own goals, whatever they may be; don't let anyone else's expectations rob you of your joy. Quoth ABBA: Thank you for the music! 😄🤘🥁
As a drummer (Ebo and the funky monkeys funk emporium, Toxic, ezdnb) I approve, great work from the wee lad keep it up! I see relaxed happiness and belonging when he's playing those are signs of a great drummer... 🥁 👍👌👍
I couldn't resist, on your basis I took my bass guitar, and something beautiful came out of it, even though we have many decades of age difference... good music
Sam, in a word you’re Amazing, I love your clear passion for your music and the simple joy you experience from playing, you have an incredible talent, and you make a very difficult coordinated discipline look easy, and I know it isn’t 😂, my Dad was a talented multi instrumentalist, I think Drums was one of the few instruments he didn’t play, I’m very much a beginner and I’m in my fifties but I still love music and I love to sing and perform all genres, but I live for Rock, both myself and my partner are Maiden Fans, so Kudos to you for playing such brilliant covers, Good luck on your journey Sam, Keep on Rocking and enjoy yourself Love Julie ❤
Hi Sam, this is one of my all-time favorite songs. Toto is my favorite rock band. I always listen to this song when I'm not feeling well and and have already played it 1000 times and the audience sang and danced along. You have a very good interpretation of your own. A drummer not only has to play a song, but also bring it to life and you have fun playing the drums. This is respect for the music, the song and the instrument! I loved it! Keep it up! Best wishes and a wonderful Christmas time. A drummer from Germany
Keep up the good work bud, you’re real loose when you play which will aid you the longer you learn. A lot of people play scrunched up and are to tense! Keep smiling keep drumming... Sorry your cousin is Karl (Just kidding bout the last bit)
Wow this folks is real talent.. Just coz you don’t see it on tv’s c factor dont mean its not out there.. Love this track by toto and absolutely nailed it by this young man.. Top class cover buddy loved every second of this and looked like you totally enjoyed it too😎👍
Im the same age as you now and after watching this, I got inspired by this and I learnt how to use the piano/keyboard! Thanks to you I've learnt a lot of songs including my fav one (which is this one)
I like this.
cheers bro 🤘

Same. I love when kids cover great songs and kill it.
As soon as I saw the community post I came over to check this out. Glad to help a small channel

There was a point I put my phone down, and completely forgot I was listening to a cover. Awesome work.
thank you buddy, means a lot
Karl got the talk but bud you can drum like no other
Haha cheers dude
There's a 25% chance of being right about this, so I'm going for it because it's fun to say. Good Job little Smallwood! It's a very chill watch.
Haha thank you dude!! Statistically speaking my friend you might be 50% correct 😂
@@sambickmore Hmm, Well, it's one of 4 options.
Karl is:
Your Dad's brother's son
Your Dad's sister's son
Your Mom's brother's son
Your Mom's sister's son.
Only the first of those four has your parent and Karl's parent sharing the name Smallwood, unless there's an English version of Kentucky 😉
@@roberwin1093 haha well I can tell you that one of these is correct!! Stay awesome dude 🤘🤘
You've got a heck of a lot of talent! Keep practicing. You'll be selling out concert halls in no time!
