She happily presses on the pedal of the kick drum, producing a drumbeat along with the rhythm of the song.

Maple is featured in several of her owner's cover videos, but most enjoys helping out by playing an instrument herself.

"She gets really excited when she's included in the music sometimes! It's like she's thinking "yay, I'm helping!" He wrote in the comments.
