Not that I have made up my mind either way (hence my interest in posing the question to y'all), but I think it could be seen as self-aggrandizing behavior, and upstaging the real performers present. In particular one could point to him taking over the drums and clearly upstaging the poor young lad who worked hard to learn those parts.

Half douchey, half awesome. Had he stayed on the side and watched and applauded, it would have been awesome. But the fact that he kicked the kid off of the drums (which I'm sure the kid didn't mind) makes it really douchey.

Yeah, I think his demeanor is kinda douchy but the fact that he sits in with them was totally cool for them. I think that the drummer was fine with it. I voted awesome. (In fact, when I posted this up on facebook yesterday it was with the heading "These kids had a better day than you.")
I'll admit, my "douchy" vote was based on pre-conceived notions that Lenny Kravitz is a douche. His behavior in the video seems to remain pretty awesome for the duration. I really don't even think taking over the drums was a douche move.
The reason I think he is a douche is because a friend of mine *was* a huge fan and tried to get an autograph when they met Kravitz, and he felt like he was too cool to oblige. So I just have a beef with him for that, but the video is cool.
