In a hilarious video on social media, this talented bird joined the ranks of musicians in the Minnesota Vikings’ drumline, known as the Skol Line. However, rather than pick up a stick, this trailblazing duck opted for drumming with his feet! Someone held the animal over the instrument so that he could hit it with his webbed toes. He managed to keep a pretty good beat!
Skol Line percussionists gathered around the waterfowl as he kicked away at the drums. They couldn’t help but smile while playing with the musical bird! This adorable video has received hundreds of thousands of views online.
Although this duck may not be a professional drummer, he’s not exactly new to being in the spotlight. In fact, Ben Afquack is quite popular on social media, boasting over 94 thousand followers on Instagram so far! Plus, the duck’s drumming career is far from over. Another video shows him paddling a beat for the Anaheim Ducks!
Did you know that Ben Afquack is also a Guinness World Record Holder? According to People, the bird received this illustrious title for having more Instagram followers than any other duck. How cool is that?
At the time, Guinness World Records shared a post congratulating Ben for getting into their 2021 edition.
“At 79,002 followers, one-year-old Ben has reached an astounding following on his account with the help of his owner, Derek Johnson,” they wrote in their caption. “Derek says Ben is incredibly goofy, friendly, a snuggler, and always up for an adventure!”
