    Not quite sure which is more unbelievable: His extraordinary talent OR the fact that he never heard of Enter Sandman.

      I hadn't even heard of Enter Sandman until I was about 14, I guess it depends on the environment you're raised in, my parents were heavy reggae and RnB listeners so that's all I heard I was young.

He has knowledge about song structures and tendencies via music theory that most people don't, and is able to use that knowledge to understand a song much faster than an untrained person could.

      Yes he possess skill; he plays skillfully. A skill is something that is learned and honed through practice. What I described is correctly called talent*. Talent is that which is a natural aptitude for something regardless of skill. Some have skills they have learned, but aren't necessarily talented. Others, like this drummer, have both as was my original point.

      How many people can be told 10 names or a phone number and remember it 5 minutes later? How many dancers could replicate a 3 minute dance after seeing it once? There's more repetition in the drums but I can't imagine being able to listen and repeat something so complex after one exposure.
