5-Year-Old Rocks Kiss Drums

5-year-old Avery Molek proved there could still be something cute about Kiss when he performed a drum tribute in full Peter Criss makeup.

The young drummer, as seen in the clip below, blasts through a set of 20 Kiss songs after introducing himself with "thank you Kiss, here's my tribute to you". According to his website, he has been drumming since he was 2, and the only thing he loves more than rocking a drum kit is listening to Kiss.

Molek plays one song from every studio album, including "Killers" and "Smashes, Thrashes And Hits" but not "Carnival Of Souls" as spotted by Ultimate Classic Rock.

Even better is that the young man is darn good at what he does. Sure, it might be a few years before he perfects his groove, but he makes every beat and tears out more than a few great fills. Just think how good he will be when he is 10. A prodigy in the making?

Check out Avery's awesome little video right here. We bet it's not long before members of the band recognise his talent.

Have you seen other young prodigies rocking out on YouTube? Share links in the comments, and we'll round them up for a future post.

Fucking Awesome

[BigSpence]

Nice!

[Pagan_Poetry]

Surprisingly, he's already matched Peter Criss's full capabilities

[DavyG707]

Incredible! It cheers me up when I see videos like these!

[Avrill]

Haha cute, let's hope he doesn't get sick of playing the drums by the time he's a teenager

[Orryn]

I bet his dad didn't actually buy those albums

[LesThanPaul]

This kid's pretty good. I prefer Jonah Rocks though:

Jonah's been drumming since he was 3 I believe.

[Roxxie Roxx]

The sticks are as long as his arms.

[munchy21491]

My drumming skills have been put to shame by a 5 year old.

[Brandeis]

I wanna see him cover some Portnoy fills

I agree Jonah is a ****ing prodigy in the making, if I remember correctly he already has some endorsements.

[sn00ze]

Amazing, respect for this kid. Also check his cover of Carr jam http://averymolek.com/CarrJam.htm

[centermass]

finally U.G. puts up something worthy rock on little kitten! soon you will be a full on tiger!!!!!

[soXlittleXtimeX]

Rock on little dude!

For his sake though, I hope this isn't just his dad making him do it.

[RideTheRoses]

I feel like it's amazing to see a young child play music like this but it makes me sad to think that he will never have a chance to break through in today's music industry despite his talent.

[Silverpack]

From a certain point of view, this kind of news is depressing. It reminds me of this little boy who played Ozzy and RATM's material with a band of his age... Kids liking rock music and playing it are so freaking rare that they are mentioned in the NEWS !!

[False_God]

That kid is onto something good. Hope he keeps at it!

[Macabre_Turtle]

I'm not sure if this says good things about the kid's, or bad things Peter Criss' talent.

[Zeppoholic]

Hell of alot better than i can do, thats for damn sure

[switch625DL]

Thumbs up if you know every song he's playing

[silent caution]

my nephew(8 years old)sung Rock n roll all night, for his school talent show and he won, he even played guitar while he sung

[iron_maiden93]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyUOY-lBopE This is Andreas Varady, he had a feature in Guitar Player I'm pretty sure. He's playing John Coltrane's Giant Steps and laying down an absolutely killer solo. The kid's 13-15 now, but there are some video's floating around of him at a younger age, and also high quality stuff from jazz festivals. Incredible.

[Gen.Braddock]

Better then me.

[Gene-Ocide]

I'm more impressed by the kid playing Under a Funeral Moon

[sassamafras]

just goes to show the technical abilities of Criss's drumming

[Epi g-310]

Inb4 Gene Simmons has the video removed because of the audio in the background.

[Reevo]

Wow thats pretty incredible! Cant wait to see what hes gonna be like in 15 years if he sticks with drumming

[swave75]

One of the best articles on here ever. The kid has good taste too!

[CaliforniaKid]

Lemme know when he can play what Shawn Kinney can. Peter Chriss drumming = Rudy Mentary.

[Root Beer]

If he gets into some drumming that's actually technical, he could be a prodigy. Give the kid some Rush.

Maybe kids that are 5... kids can't even typically read when they are 5. To learn an instrument by that time is pretty crazy imo.

[uwek]

check out igor falecki

[MountApple]

Damn! He's better than me.

[SirDrunkalot]

This is cool

[Rebel Scum]

And I thought no one wanted to be Peter Criss.

[InfernalFender]

Still half-asleep, thought the article was going to be about rocks with lips kissing a drumset...

Awesome video though.

[ImagineTheThorn]

No one wants to be Peter Criss. Not even Peter Criss.

[leotheguitarist]

His parents are doing a great job .

[StonedColdCrazy]

Damn sorry Pagan, I tried to hit +, hit - instead.

[Ceesjah]

That is so cute This one will grow up to be famous

[Nitro89]

this kid's alright, he's not as good as you guys make him out to be.

[mr pinch]

awesome !!!

[ikantuna]

yes I enjoy KISS but their drumming is not rocket science...
