From Metallica to ‘Mr. Men’ books, we spoke with boy wonder Caleb Hayes about his dream of joining slipknot, playing Bloodstock this summer and his favorite thing (food!)
or witnessed one of his viral videos, it’s undeniable that seven-year-old Caleb Hayes channels a John Bonham-esque power behind his kit. His penchant for heavy metal likely came from watching his parents play in a local cover band, where they recreated hits from AC/DC, Led Zep and Metallica around their native Cumbria, England.
As his mother Kim recalls, he was just a toddler when he showed signs of wanting to play the drums, just like his drummer dad. “Caleb would have been two when he started to come and watch us in rehearsals, but he’d already started at around 15 months playing with pencils and anything he could use as drum sticks around the house,” she says.
Caleb’s parents have always encouraged his playing—even in the early morning hours. “I used to watch my Mum and Dad at their band practice when I was little, I wanted to jump on the drum kit and play, they used to let me watch them and then play at the end,” Caleb recalls. “They’ve always let me make lots of noise with my drums in the house, even at 6:00 in the morning—haha!” He says that playing drums gives him “good vibes,” and it’s obvious from watching how much he loves it.
For other kids hoping to taking up a new musical instrument, Caleb has some advice: “I would say…try your best, do as good as you can and put the effort in. Oh, and don’t give up.”
