Usually I’d open up a story like this with a left-of-centre lede, or some other anecdote that I’d use to segue slowly into the main narrative. But you know what, there’s no need for any of that journalistic trickery in a story about a duck who can play the drums.

Well, ‘play’ is maybe generous. This duck won’t give Dave Grohl or Ginger Baker a run for their money — he hasn’t yet mastered the sticks, for a start, deciding instead to forego technical achievements and just go to town on the skins with his feet.

But hey, we all know that real music comes straight from the heart, not from the head. And what better way to sum that up than this motherfuckin’ duck.

Here ya go, feast your eyes on him:

There’s almost no information circulating online about said duck, or where he comes from, or whether he has any other fascinating attributes (like maybe a funny stomp.) An article from 96KRock claims that the creature is from Minesotta, and that he kicks his feet like that whenever he gets picked up. But where those fine folks over at that site got that information, I can’t tell you.

Anyway, the internet has welcomed the mysterious aquatic fowl with open arms, turning him into a viral meme.

Truly the world is a beautiful and special place.
