His drumming looked pretty good, I thought. One of his secret talents?

Fred was a multi-talented man. He could play the piano, sing, dance, and act. I'm sure with his innate sense of rhythm, he was able to master the drums as well.

Astaire was a great drummer. It was one of his hobbies--just like Jervis. He used to keep a drum set in his bathtub and played it quite often.

....almost made me turn off the movie. I muted it instead, until he stopped.
