Drum Drama: Daughter’s Talent Sparks Family Feud

We’ve all heard of sibling rivalry, but this one takes it to a whole new level. Meet Luca, a 12-year-old boy who begged for a drum kit for his birthday. After receiving his dream gift, he quickly lost interest and went back to playing video games. But when his younger sister Jessie, 10, showed natural talent and enthusiasm for drumming, Luca suddenly became possessive over the drums. Now, the family is torn on how to handle this musical mess.
