12 & Under Finalists

 
Aaron James Lee Han Ming
12-year-old Aaron is the son of local drummer Jimmy Lee. With his dad as a major influence, Aaron is a huge fan of jazz, Latin and pop drumming. Says Aaron: “I love drumming because of the fact that one can explore really deep into it.”
 
Davy Tan Teck Wee
A fan of Dave Weckl, six-year-old Davy practices everyday and is a fan of Christian rock. When asked about why he loves drumming so much, Davy bashfully mentions that he simply “loves the sound of the cymbals.”

 
Muhammad Farihin Farkhan Bin Nashir
As a fan of metal and rock drumming, Farihin’s favorite parts of the kit are undeniably the double pedal and the snare. The 10-year-old cites Travis Barker as his favorite drummer and is always on the constant quest to improve his drumming everyday.

 
Isabella Rose Williams
Just like her middle suggests, Isabella is the “rose” among the boys. As the sole female drummer out of the entire Drum Challenge Asia contest, Isabelle stands out not only with her drumming but also with her fun approach for the drums. “For me, drumming can really show who you are and you can explore and do whatever you want on a drum kit,” says the little lass who is a fan of Linkin Park and Gwen Stefani.
