I wouldn't want to play night clubs anyways. I did once, a 21+ bar. They basically let me play the set, threw me a cut of the cover money and told me and my friends to "get the f*** out".
He's good. Ignoring the fact that he's freakin' 8, it's kind of sloppy.
In spite of that, he's about as good as a few people I know who have been playing as long as he's been alive, which is crazy. A few more years with some proper technique training (is he even capable of that right now...? Small hands...) and he'll be great.
