The Louisville Leopard Percussionists
I just love these videos, these kids are awesome, this is the Louisville Leopard Percussionists, which is a nationally acclaimed music group for children regardless of skill level originating from Louisville, Kentucky. The group is a performing ensemble directed by Diane Downs of over 60 musicians ages 7-14, who attend different schools in and around Louisville, Kentucky. Since 1993, the Leopards have served over 450 kids in their programs. They are mostly known for covering rock and roll songs, first covering Ozzy Osbourne and Led Zeppelin. (source)
