Mill Valley teen plays drums with Pearl Jam at Oakland Arena

A North Bay teenager is enjoying some notoriety after being invited to play drums with the legendary band Pearl Jam at an Oakland concert.

"My heart started racing when everyone started screaming and my heart skipped a beat," said Neukermans.

24 hours before the concert, a hopeful text to Vedder's daughter asking for a chance to fill in set off a scramble to video what amounted to an audition clip, paving the path for the band's blessing to join them onstage for a one-of-a-kind magical moment. "I play in my room with my electronic kit so it doesn't bother the neighbors as much. Because I've had many complaints about the noise, even with the electronic kit," Neukermans said."But I still play every day."
