Fred was also an accomplished piano player. Check this out; I Won’t Dance from the film Roberta. Wicked piano work and a frenetic dance sequence to close - wonderful stuff.
Where's the vid of Ginger Rogers playing drums? After all, it is famously said of her that she did everything Fred did --- only backwards and in high heels.
I'm not a drummer so I am not sure if he is technically proficient or if he's just messing around but I did enjoy watching him play drums -
Bob Crane, Johnny Carson & Sammy Davis I knew about.. Astaire is something of a surprise.. in a very nice way.
Makes sense to me. Technical dancing is all about timing and movement, same as drums.
Big Astaire fan here, have been for many years.

As Powdog says, it’s all about timing and here’s proof that Fred was the gov’nor.
That was very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool indeed. Thanks for sharing.

ginger rogers on drums
cheers
It totally makes sense that he could play and stay in the groove. I always thought that if you can dance well you can probably learn drums.
I agree with Fred: "Yeah!"
