This could be Robby Ameen when he was a kid (At least that is what is suggested by one response on the youtube page - which makes sense - though I haven't found confirmation of it). Robby Ameen author of Funkifying the Clave book and video. He and Horacio "El Negro" had a band together where they double drumed.... The El Negro & Robby Band in which they are co-leaders,

This just goes to show what happens when music and musicianship take a front seat to being seen. The necessary folk that coulkd change this guys like know about him and the oooowee section is the last to know. This is so inspiring.

He was playing with the CSU Northridge jazz band when he was a little kid. He's Blessed. Louie Bellson took him under his wing back then...

Speak it. I like that Prince quote...."You have to be in a good mood, to create you."
