Meet Sara. At 13 years of age, she’s a little older than many of the child musicians that just get by on cuteness. But with a few years of experience behind her, she’s sounding fantastic.

This video starts slow, but by the end she’s really ripping into “XYZ” by Rush. Sara already has all the flair of a pro, flipping her drumsticks around like she’s already in a rock band. The flair doesn’t disrupt her rhythm; it only adds to the spectacle of this little drummer girl’s performance.

Now if we could just convince her to can the cheesy pageant smiles Sara could have a big future in the dirty world of rock and roll!
