An awesome video has emerged from the US of an 89-year-old drummer who's legally blind and hearing impaired giving an impromptu solo performance.
In the footage, filmed earlier this year, Frankie M, who worked in the music industry for most of his life shows he's still got it.
According to the filmer, there's an interesting story behind it too. He later wrote online: "Frankie M. has played the drums since he was a kid.
"He was involved in the music industry and was friends with Louis Armstrong and Etta James and worked with Frank Sinatra."
"I went to visit him in Florida, and asked if he was still playing the drums. Low and behold, he still had his kit set up and offered an impromptu performance," he continued.
"Frank had custom ordered a DW drum kit, but never received it. That is because Ringo Starr ordered a similar kit and their orders were swapped - they decided to keep each others!
"Legally blind and hearing impaired at the time of the video, he was still able to give an amazing performance."
