Hide AdAbbie Tang, Anabell’s mother, said: “She’s taking the world by storm.
“When she took to the stage last Saturday the crowd was completely captivated.”
Anabell started to learn the drums at just four years old with teacher Brad Clifford.
“We’re not sure where she gets it from,” Abbie said.
“We’re not a musical family by any means.
“But she has just always loved music.
“Even before she could talk I knew music was for her from when she was in baby music groups.

“But she couldn’t play one at that young age - didn’t have the lungs.
“So I thought ‘What can she play?’ and that’s how the drums came into our lives.
“She took to it like a duck to water - she was a natural.”
Anabell amazingly achieved her first music grade when she was still in nursery.

“She’s so fearless and her confidence is impressive.”
Anabell has a promising musical career ahead of her but her parents will be happy no matter what the little drummer girl decides to do.
Abbie said: “We want to support her in whatever she wants to do.
“Drumming is definitely everything to her.
“It makes her really happy - she is loving life.”
Despite her young age her drumming accolades are building: she was UK 2020 Super Junior Drum Off Champion, Represented the UK in the Global Drumming Competition, she was featured on Deaf Leppard’s social media, she plays in the Doncaster Jazz Association.
