If a person can drum, research says they're highly intelligent.
In a study by the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, researchers studied volunteers taking a 60-question intelligence test while keeping in time to a drumstick. They found that those with the best sense of rhythm scored better on the intelligence test.
"The rhythmic accuracy in brain activity that is observed when a person maintains a steady beat is also important to the problem-solving capacities measured with the intelligence tests," said Professor Frederic Ullen.
Not only that, but Harvard University researchers found that drummers have a different internal clock that imitates rhythm found in human brainwaves, sleep heart rates, and feline auditory nerve firings.
So not only do drummers make hot partners, they're smarter, happier, and move to the beat of their own bodies.
