Bradford Davis, four-year-old drummer

A 4 year old boy plays a full sized 5 piece drum set for the first time with no lessons. The child had been playing for about an hour when Dad thought he'd better get out the camera. According to the parents, this drum set is a gift for the child's 4th birthday in November of 2005. He had one other "Child Sized" junior drum set when he was 2 years old, but the drum set did'nt last for more than 2 or 3 months before it collapsed from his playing. His mother, (Demetra Davis), is a gospel music recording artist and says, (half joking), that she may have given birth to her future drummer. She was performing, (singing and playing the organ), the whole time she was pregnant with her son, Bradford Davis. Demetra Davis herself started playing piano regularly in public when she was 5 years old.
