Video: This busker’s one-handed drum roll on his improvised drum kit is excellent

We would definitely give him a Euro or two...

We would definitely give him a Euro or two…

The turn of the new year usually sees most people making resolutions to learn a new skill and while JOE hasn’t quite perfected the promise that we made to ourselves from last year, lion taming whilst juggling on a unicycle is harder than it looks, learning to play a musical instrument does seem a bit more attainable.

We’ve always wanted to channel our inner John Bonham, Keith Moon or Dale from Step Brothers and this busker from Canada has just given us some much needed inspiration.

Take a look as he dazzles the onlooking crowd with a brilliant performance on his makeshift drum kit. The whole performance is incredible but the real magic takes place around the 0:40 mark when he performs a one handed drumroll.

Apparently the musician is an ex-teacher who travels between various cities doing street performances like this to make money. We hope he got a fair few dollars after this performance.

Take a look.
