Watch Handicapped Drummer Dean Zimmer Prove All The Doubters Wrong

There are two things to love about Drummer Wanted:

1. The inspiring story of Dean Zimmer, a physically handicapped man who said “f*ck that” and became a skilled drummer (and his own technician) by launching and swerving his body around his kit. According to an old LA Times article, “Zimmer has arthrogryposis, a rare birth defect that severely restricts joint movement in his arms and legs. Nine operations have given him slightly more coordination, but the truth remains: He will never walk properly or have full use of his arms. He must rely on effort and practice.” And creativity.

2. The sick van with the teardrop window. Everyone should be as awesome as Zimmer, and want a van like that.
