As a drummer for over 20 years, I would caution accolades for parroting others work.
Granted these kids can play the song they are listening to.
That dosn't make them musicians, or talented drummers.
No disrespect to them.

Hell, I'm close to 60 and still couldn't do what these kids have done. It is by mimicking famous musicians that they learn and will be influenced by later in life. Then, they can go on to perform original material.

So there is a technical side of music, as well as a 'feeeling, passion, or creative spark' that goes with it.
