The Foo Fighters are making their way to Aussie shores this February and March, and it looks like they could be replacing the skin-bashing Taylor Hawkins with a 2 year-old.

Okay, that’s obviously not going to happen, however after you watch the footage of this young chap who is still in nappies play the drums to the Foo’s smashing hit ‘The Pretender’, you may not think it’s that absurd.

Uploaded by who we presume is the toddler’s Dad YouTube user Justin Brown, the little drumming machine named Jaxon absolutely belts his way through what has to be the most creepily adorable 4-minutes of internet footage of 2015. The stick-wielding mini percussionist completely looks the part, pulling faces and giving his best possible head-bang as he smacks the electronic drum kit.

The video has left the Tone Deaf office a little divided, some of us a little confused as to whether this is completely legit or not however one thing we can all agree on – it’s pretty damn cute.

Before y’all go calling out the video recorder for blaring such loud music to a 2 year-old, Brown has informed watchers, “if you’re worried about his hearing its an electric drum kit and the levels aren’t very loud it only sounds loud because the speaker is right next to my phone.”

Watch the vid below and make up your own mind:
