Normally, to be viewed as a successful 6-year-old, you simply have to work on mastering the art of sharing with others or not picking your nose in public. Avery Molek, however, puts all of that to shame.

In this video, he takes aim at Metallica’s ‘Master of Puppets,’ pounding his way through the over eight-minute track with great skill. But this is what we’ve come to expect from Avery, who can be seen here covering Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Welcome to the Jungle.’ In fact, the now 8-year-old Molek has an extensive YouTub channel featuring countless covers, the most recent of which is his take on Led Zeppelin’s ‘Good Times Bad Times.’

Besides impressive drumming, here are some highlights in the video above:

1:01 – Adorable lip-syncing commences.
3:34 – Some sweet gong action, followed by a well-deserved sip of water.
8:16 – The grand finale (Spoiler Alert: There is more gong).
