JONAH ROCKS: EVEN MORE ADORABLE THAN HATRED
Friday, September 25th, 2009 at 12:00pm by Axl RosenbergIf I had a biological clock, I’d worry that’s it’s ticking. Because this is my second story about little kids today.
Reign in Blonde has made the awesome discovery of Jonah Rocks, who is a) the only four year old I’ve ever seen that can play the drums, and b) the only four year old I’m aware of that already has a stage name. He also seems to have an endorsement deal with Vic Firth. Holy poop.
For reasons that are totally beyond me, the videos of this lil’ tyke rockin’ out are not embeddable, but if you go here, you can watch Jonah play “Harvester of Sorrow” with more skill and passion than Lars Ulrich has displayed in years.
After the jump are some more links to Jonah playing. Some of these videos were made when he was only three years old!!!
Judas Priest’s “Living After Midnight”
Van Halen’s “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love”
AC/DC’s “Back in Black” and “Highway to Hell”
System of a Down’s “Chop Suey” and “Toxicity”

Congrats guys. Not a single decent post today! Must be a record.
My uterus is throbbing.
Q: t’s obvious he’s a mutant, but will he use his powers for good?
A: Only if he learns to play Angel of Death.
only if he replaces lars ulrich
Don’t insult this kid by mentioning you-know-who in reference to him.
Lord Voldemort
Axl, are you going through menopause?
Holy sh—–
This kid is awesome!
This kid needs to to bust out some PAIN……KILLER!!!!
I’m waiting for the first drumming “expert” to detail how imperfect his technique is. Or Eluveitie to make a vaguely veiled racist comment.
Since when did I start veiling them? I try to make my racism as open as possible.
And some of the greatest drummers of all time have been black, may this kid grow up to be one of them.
My cover’s been blown…
oops
You make no sense, Zilty, especially if you’re trying to be funny. I didn’t mention you, unless you and Eluvetie are one and the same. I was referencing his racist comment on the “funny caption” contest a couple weeks back.
I’m one and the same as one of the Ziltoids…
I’m not even sure what that means.
A ball of confusion, that’s what the world is today
thats it my kid is getting a drum kit now…lol
holy shit
you think that’s crazy, check out this kid:

Not even remotely as awesome.
Gee, another lazy, easy, cliche and utterly boring jab at Lars and/or Metallica. How unoriginal.
He’s just about rocking his ear googles off. I have a 5 year old who can barely walk sometimes let alone drum an entire metallica song.
Ladies and gentlemen, the new Gene Hoglan. Somebody give this kid some whale meat.
Makes me wish I’d started playing an instrument that young.
wow better then lars but theres another 4 year old that (duno how old he is atm) but when he was 4 he was also endorsed by vic firth only thing is he plays like jazz and stuff from the vids iv seen

maby not as metal but just as talented if not more so, but obviously musically persuaded by parents, not that i have a problem with jazz at all just im sure thats what his parents listen to at home
He’s a little person, just like the end of that movie with that orphan girl. (Or so I’ve heard)
Definitely not a little person…at the end of his solo on “tom sawyer” he squeals like a little excited 4 year old should.
