Hian Ming, 11 years old, loves playing the drums everyday. He is one of the rare talents that we have at My Drum School, getting his inspiration from Akira Jimbo (Japan). Here, he demonstrates a difficult technique using some massive Double Bass drumming! We could not help but to include another camera angle just to capture his double bass!
