Science shows how drummers

Here's a portion of the article :

PolyMic recently compiled a group of studies that suggest the dumb drummer stereotype is not true, and drummers are actually better problem-solvers than most and make people around them smarter in general.

Researchers at Stockholm’s Karolinska Institute found a link between “intelligence, good timing and the part of the brain used for problem-solving,” reports PolyMic. In the study, drummers who were better able to keep a steady beat scored better on a 60-question intelligence test. After all, figuring out how to play in time is just a form of problem-solving in and of itself.

Thanks for that article. I'd still argue I'm a fair amount of dumb though.
