[Fraser 11-year-old drums up support for Toys for Tots]

This comes in from Peter Griffindoh at Counterparts. He posts earlier today:

Just caught the tail end of a very cool story on the local news here in suburban Detroit. They were doing a spot on Jason Hartless, an accomplished 11-year old drummer who was playing an 8 hour charity gig for Toys for Tots. As the reporter was finishing up the story, I could clearly hear Jason and his band jamming out the last few bars of YYZ! Sounded pretty damn good, too!

This online bio for Jason lists Neil Peart among his favorite drummers. Also on his list are such notables as Eric Singer, Buddy Rich, Corky Laing, Tommy Clufetos, Keith Moon, Gene Krupa, Louie Bellson & Mick Tucker.

Very cool indeed.
