Get ready to be amazed! Julian Pavone could be the World's Youngest Drummer. In fact, he has applied to the Guinness Book of World Records to be recognized as such.



Hailing from just outside the “motor city” of Detroit, Michigan, this child was destined to rock! Already spoiled by quality, Julian Pavone prefers playing his DW Collector Series drums. Browse his website to see for yourself the raw talent and natural ability of this charming toddler.



While standing only 31” tall and weighing in at 27 pounds, 21 months old Julian Pavone is certainly a star in the making. Playing the drums while sitting atop his father's lap since the age of three months, this rhythmic child could keep a steady beat while rolling around in his mother's womb! Since then, he has progressed to being able to perform drum rolls and actually plays syncopated beats.



Too small for his feet to reach the bass drum or high hat pedals, Julian sits in his high chair playing dad's prized DW's. His favorite bands to rock to include, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Chicago, ToTo and Rush.



Julian Pavone released his debut CD "Go Baby" in April 2005, before he was two years old. Aptly titled "Go Baby", Julian's CD was released on the Peacock Records label. It features Ralphe Armstrong, a legendary bassist who has played with famous artists such as violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, soul singer Aretha Franklin, vocalist Al Martino, guitarists Carlos Santana and Frank Zappa, and blues legend BB King, and William Winfield III, drum coordinator for the Cleveland Cavaliers and founder of the United Drumline, a nonprofit organization that helps youth learn drum basics. Also guitarist Dante Falgiani is playing along. The CD was recorded at the Glass House Studio in Ferndale, Michigan and was co-produced by John Falgiani, Jr.



The little drummer has already been recruited by United Drumline, he played at a Cavaliers game for 30,000 people in February 2006 and is set to perform in the future. Says William Winfield:

"I hit the drums when Julian came to try out. He would repeat what I did. He executed syncopated rhythms and did technical stuff like that. Of course, he doesn't know consciously what he is doing. I can't imagine what he'll be like in two years."

Adds Ralphe Armstrong:

"It's spooky, the kid's a genius. When I play with him, I feel he is the reincarnation of a Buddy Rich or Tony Williams, with whom I played. And he has phrasing, mathematical phrasing. It seems the harder the arrangements, the better he plays."

Headphones protect his tiny ears from the crashing and clanging.
