This 18-year-old’s dream came true when he got to be Pearl Jam’s drummer for the night at a recent show!
Matt Cameron tested positive for Covid-19 recently, causing him to be absent during a recent show, but Kai Neukermans donated his time and talents for the evening.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle,

Neukermans, who drums in a band called Alive, was then asked to record video of himself drumming along to a Pearl Jam song, so he skipped school — including a statistics test — and headed to a nearby practice space. The next day, Neukermans found himself taking the stage to a crowd of nearly 20,000. “Everybody this is Kai; Kai this is everybody!” said Vedder. “You’re leading the band, brother.”
