"E-i's drummer."

That's how Eli describes himself now. 'E-i's baseball player.' 'E-i's drummer.' He is telling his audience that Eli IS a baseball player or drummer. Quite low on confidence, wouldn't you say?

Sunday morning we didn't have a 'normal' church service, though the kids did go to their regular Sunday School classes. Since the auditorium was empty when we picked them up, Lehr took Eli up on stage to sit at the drum set for a few minutes. As far as I know, that was the first time Eli saw a set up close and personal. Several times since then he has built his own set at the house. It usually consists of a few real drums, a few make-shift drums, a pedal, and a drum seat. Eli will tell you which ones are the snare drums, which piece is the bass drum (controlled by the pedal, of course), where the high hats and cymbals are, and sometimes he'll point out tom-toms.ew

In this clip, Eli had just created his set and was giving a quick concert for Lehr. The next section shows Eli drumming along with "D is for Drums", which is his most favorite podcast from They Might Be Giants.
