From Phil Collins to Ringo Starr, many of the most skilled musicians have demonstrated the ability to drum while singing. Now, a study has revealed that chimpanzees have this skill too. Scientists at Kyoto University were treated to a spontaneous musical performance from Ayumu, a 26-year-old chimpanzee. The male removed floorboards from a walkway before using them to drum on the walls of his cage. Amazingly, the chimp let out 'complex and structured sounds' as he drummed - similar to human song.
