Who knew learning the drum from a young age had so many benefits! ๐ฅ
A friend of mine forwarded the video on Instagram of Film Director David Foster's 2-year-old rocking the drums? It was amazing to watch and it got me thinking about all the benefits there must be to a young child learning the drums. This is what I came up with!
