A four-year-old boy has been hailed a prodigy after showing off his exceptional drumming skills.
Caleb Hayes began showing an interest in the instrument at the age of one and picked up the sticks just a year later.
The youngster was encouraged every step of the way by his musical parents Kim, 37, and Andrew, 38, whos a drummer himself.
Caleb favours rock music and enjoys playing songs by heavy metal band Slipknot and the Foo Fighters.
Kim, from near Carlisle, Cumbria, said: He started playing with a pencil. Then he started using Andrews sticks and hed use anything – cushions mainly.
But when he got to two he started playing on Andrews drums and thats when we realised hes got some tunes so we brought him his own electric drums.

He started properly playing at two but hed shown an interest earlier.
The proud mum, who runs a car body repair business with Andrew, said Caleb can play a song after only listening to it a couple of times.
Experienced drummer Andrew said: Im mesmerised by him.
I listen to him sometimes and think I cant even play that.
