Austin Peralta

Hey, guys,

I just came across this kid, Austin Peralta who died at 22
last year... Cause of death has not been released as of yet.

Here's a clip of him at age 16. I think that's a young Ronald
Bruner Jr. on drums hitting hard and beating his brains out
even then... These kids are amazing though.

Scroll down a little to see the clip. Both my sons are older than
he is... How so very sad.

Don, that's very heavy stuff and thanks for sharing it. Is that just coincidence he happens to be playing with Virgil in the other thread you posted?

It's hard to believe cause of death isn't yet known. He was apparently a very together person, so perhaps it was just accidental, a matter of human fragility. Maybe some kind of genetic issue, i.e., cardiac.

Looking at his Twitter page, he seems like a beautiful spirit:
