My parents are both retired musicians, none of us kids followed in their footsteps either one has to do what they enjoy in life on one's own terms and time.  Sounds like this kid has his head screwed on right. I'll share that my cousin formed a Van Halen air band back in the early 80s he learned to really play the drums for this in middle school, my little bro and myself were visiting for a couple of weeks so our parents could vacation without us rotten kids.  Every morning my cousin would play along with Alex Van Halen's epic 10-12 minute drum solo, totally cranked up volume, at 6am in the morning.  He had a broken arm at the time, didn't matter to him, he played through the pain.  My cousin is the sheriff now in his po-dunk small town both he and my dad are from.  The lasting memory I'll always have of him is shirtless, cast on his arm, going crazy on his drum set waking up the neighborhood with Van Halen.  You gotta find your own path ...
