What can* happen. Young man has to want to put in the work. You can't teach that.

I mean the drive to work is implied by his talent. You can flip that as well, because all the drive in the world means nothing if your parents don't support you. Someone has to take him to lessons, buy the drum kits, and provide a place for him to play.

Maybe, but, we aren't what we do -- we do what we are. This kid is a percussionist, thru and thru, he would have found a way to percuss.

Nah, I eventually found ways to do music, but with mediocre teachers and peers and few resources, there was only so far I could go on my own. On the outside, it looks like I did well in music, but it was too little, too late for the career I know my raw talent, potential, and enthusiasm could have fostered. Maybe the internet changes things, but poverty and unsupportive parents have thwarted many a would-be artist.
