Feeling a rush: Ravens air drummer draws 7 million following
OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- A couple of days ago, Peter Zirpolo was known for being the vice president of the Baltimore Ravens marching band.
Now, he's the most popular air drummer in history.
Zirpolo was caught on camera during the Ravens' season-opening 47-3 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, rocking out to Rush as the song "Tom Sawyer" blared at M&T Bank Stadium. In the driving rain, the hooded Zipolo masterfully jammed on his imaginary drum kit, moving his arms up and down to the 1981 rock classic.
The 23-second video, which was posted by a Rochester, New York, sports anchor, went viral with 6.85 million views as of Tuesday night.
