Adorable 1-year-old drummer has some serious chops
LJ Wilson is ready for the stage.
The one-year-old percussionist is delighting the Internet with his winsome smile and stellar drumming videos, which his parents, Shelana and Justin Wilson, post for a delighted Facebook audience.

Both of LJ's parents are musicians — his mom is a vocalist and his dad, a pianist — so it's no surprise that he's also taken a musical turn. But instead of mastering the walk-to-crawl transition like most one-year-olds, he's well on his way to becoming a bonafide jazz percussionist.
He's even tried Facebook Live.
According to Today, LJ started playing the drums when he was 13 months old. Now, as he inches toward the ripe old age of two, he's developing jazz favorites (Snarky Puppy) and a trademark count-off (it involves lots of laughing).
One of LJ's drumming heroes, Snarky Puppy's Larnell Lewis, even shared one of LJ's videos. "I have no words!" he wrote, adding the hashtag "#heknowsthehitsinmydrumsolo."
Not bad for a kid who's been alive since 2014.
