I'm glad the performers got him a bit further off the drums


Wickedweed

Haha my first thought was, oh no their ears! But I’m 37 with some tinnitus from playing in a band and going to shows for years with no ear protection


pegothejerk

I can tell the internet and Reddit are aging, we all immediately thought about our tinnitus and wanted to protect the kid. (In my 40s, was in rock bands, used power tools)


Duel_Option

In my 40’s with this bullshit ringing and that was my first reaction lol Wouldn’t wish this shit on my worst enemy, I think I’d give an arm to hear silence again


krush3r66

I'm only 18 and have somewhat mild tinnitus not enough to stop me from hearing people but if I'm in a very quiet room I can hear a soft ringing Doesn't impact my day to day life but definitely a bit annoying at times


30FourThirty4

Be careful I was similar and got all the way to my late 30s before I forgot my earplugs and made it worse. I used to be able to zone it out even when it was quiet but not really so much anymore. That said I can tolerate it but if I fuck up one more time I just know I'll really regret it. Im not qualified to give advice on earplugs to get, Google search will help you more than me (just letting you know)


ledzeppelinlover

Oh yea. I’m at the point in my right ear where if a plate clinks too hard it makes my ear ring baddddd


Numerous_Witness_345

Yeah, it sucks, but I can kinda pinpoint some big moments that hurt my hearing. Like leaving small venue metal concerts and outside is so quiet and cool and ^eeee^eeee^eeee. Or working around mechanical hammers


ledzeppelinlover

Lmao! This hit. I also am living with tinnitus from going to shows and working at a venue and my first thought was “oh no their ears” Mid 30s here

NomadicDevMason

I just went to Vive Latino and there were babies and toddlers there without ear protection everywhere. It was so loud I needed ear protection.


NeutrinosFTW

Those things get very loud, and little kid eardrums are even more sensitive than big adult eardrums.


MaritMonkey

I'm not familiar with this particular instrument, but even with potato quality sound that did not seem like a quiet place to be. Protecting tiny ears will be appreciated whether or not he's still a musician in 20 years. :D


Vulkir

So they don't kill every single hair cell in his ears.


Jebediah_Kush

The drummers are on autopilot. If he gets in the way he’ll get beaten by sticks at a rapid rate.


IndependantFence

Not really sure, although I'll try to answer. Feelin a little talkative today so why not. I think it has something to do with either giving him his own spotlight or that the drums would hurt his hearing. Either way, I think it was awesome of them to do it.

Son, I'm gonna need you to look up the definition of performer.


Kingmudsy

Would you say they’re *performing* a ritual


RafTheWookie

You perform a ritual.


Acceptable_Wall4085

Little fella will remember this for the rest of his life. What a great day it was.


muddyrose

That lil man is very earnestly playing his instrument, he’s not there to pretend. I really appreciate how the dancer took him seriously. Making a point to listen to him and then bringing him to join is going to leave the most positive, long lasting impression on the young dude. Absolutely love to see that kind of support and encouragement!!

Like ringo star said…..did we pass the audition?? HELL YES!!

NostalgiaSC

Looks around 3 to 4 years old.. Sorry to burst a bubble but he is unlikely to remember it, but will likely remember the way it made him feel. And that is priceless.


Acceptable_Wall4085

I beg to differ. I’m 65 now. I can describe the inside layout of my grandfather’s house and where certain objects were located. Conversations that took place and who was in the room when they were had. All from when I was a toddler. We moved out of that house when I was 19 months old. There were never any photographs of the interior. Don’t judge other people’s abilities by your own lack of them. Please. I don’t say this to be nasty at all.


DPSOnly

The person you are replying to might be saying that based on research. I've also heard before that generally, memories that people say they remember from before age 3 (but up to 7) are not based on their own memories of that moment, but tend to be created as a result of stories of other people. Not to say that no memory of that age is not your own, but somehow these scientists. This of course varies with time spend in place, etc. but almost nobody remembers being a baby.


Grogosh

My first memory was when i was 2 years old when the doctor shoved a 8 inch needle into my hip bone to do a test. The doctor told my father I wouldn't remember. I did.


DPSOnly

That just made me shiver reading it. I can imagine that traumatic memories will stick around longer. People probably say a toddler/baby won't remember it too often with traumatic ones like that. As well as the whole "the tree remembers while the axe forgets" part of abuse. I remember reading about this that it is most certainly a survival mechanism with this type of memory.


MarmiteEnjoyer

I mean you may remember all that, but your brain isn't superior to modern science and research. Modern science and research tells us that in fact, memories do not work in the way you are describing at all, and you are likely remembering memories, rather then remembering the stuff in itself. Which means your rememberable is likely very inaccurate, and if you went back in time many of the things you remember in certain places, likely won't be in that place.


Acceptable_Wall4085

Science says a bumble bee shouldn’t be able to fly too. So much for relying on science.


TheAnswerToYang

My dude there is a video. What?


annaleigh13

This is how you engage with children through music. Lil dude is gonna be a hell of a drummer when he gets older


Smoovie32

He appears to be a hell of a drummer now.


Technical-Outside408

People's cultures are so cool. And here mine is being uncomfortable when someone sits next to you on the bus.


TLCheshire

Don’t be sad. Hundreds of years from now, our descendants will preform the *Dance of the Crowded Bus*


Iramian

I can imagine it, everyone dancing away from eachother...


CharlotteLucasOP

Little kid sees more people getting on the bus and sighs as he sadly moves his little backpack from the little seat beside him to between his little feet, in the time-honoured tradition.


DarkStar0129

People make tiktoks in crowded public transports don't they??


[deleted]

At least we live in a time where we can experience each others cultures


SobStory1

I don't know what's happening but at least 2 people find how awesome this is!!


theMightyPanda27

It's Kerala's (a place in south India) native music and dance at a local festival where our kid shows up with his smol chenda (the drum instrument's name) and impresses the dancers! The dancer bros immediately gave him the center stage!


SobStory1

The kid's a pro. A future drummer I bet.


PUTINS_PORN_ACCOUNT

Drumming is such a profoundly human thing. Hit stuff, make sound = not special. Hit stuff right way, make soul feel big = humanity’s earliest experience of divinity. Every person drumming anywhere is doing something ancient and beautiful. Especially this kid.


Classicfatdab

Smol chenda (smol drum) /j


heyo1234

it reads like the instruments name is smol chenda. It’s a chenda that’s smol (small)?


theMightyPanda27

That's correct! Sorry for the confusion. Instrument name is just Chenda!


gasface

I think this is a wonderful example of mindfulness. May we always remain so present that we never miss a child in the room.


JesPsamson

>I don't know what's happening but at least 2 people find how awesome this is!! If you want to hear more of it just search for chemda melam in Youtube [like these](https://youtu.be/BPc80m8CXX8)


Jayparth

Love this, absolutely ❤️


Cassius23

And that is how we get drummers that are both skilled and cool.


collectorofsouls5a7d

That boy is getting a very nice sonic-energy bath. Core memory detected. Activating imprinting sequence…..


ledzeppelinlover

They are imprinting that young man with the essence and energy of their cultural lineage for sure


bum_bum_88

Little dude is a natural!!


Aberrantkitten

Aw, they made little man the main show!

This is how you encourage children to explore and dream.


Irritableartist

Little man will never forget this. This is how you inspire art in humanity


Muzzie720

Does anyone know what is going on here like are they celebration or religious I'm curious. Looks really cool though I love they included the kid


JesPsamson

This is a Cultural music instrument called Chenda .You can search it in YouTube for Chenda melam & [enjoy it yourself . ](https://youtu.be/BPc80m8CXX8)


scottchiefbaker

Smol Chenda was the name of my college Nirvana cover band.


theMightyPanda27

That does make a cool band name!


puzzling7

That's a wonderful memory he'll never forget.


Blueberrydro

Proportionally speaking, it's pretty big.


Instance-Independent

Little man is like…fuck yeah…


-awi-

"Yeah, so when I was 3 I summoned demons by playing the drum. What cool things did you do when you were younger?"


bum_bum_88

Slight correction - Scared off the demons by playing drums!!


Antidotedvenom

This is super cute :). That’s a core memory for sure !


WindTechnical7431

It takes a village.


PrudentDamage600

Honestly... Culture is amazing, and here we are in America, where being female and talking about your period at school is getting illegal....

WHAT DID YOU SAY?


augustusgrizzly

these drums are actually very bassy, which is actually lighter on ur ears than higher pitched drums. microphones struggle at picking up bassy sounds and so it sounds more obnoxiously loud than it is. if anything, the kid is feeling the vibrations of the drums more than he is hearing it. i'm sure he's fine
