Thor's Drumming Journey: Chris Hemsworth Learns from Parkway Drive's Ben Gordon for Disney+ Series
Even the mighty Norse gods need to brush up on their drumming skills. Chris Hemsworth, known for his role as Thor in the Marvel movies, has enlisted the help of Parkway Drive's Ben Gordon to teach him how to play the drums for a new Disney+ series called Limitless: Live Better Now. Hemsworth, a metal music enthusiast, is gearing up to play with one of the biggest performing acts on the planet and is seeking one hell of a teacher to prepare him for the challenge.
Gordon, the drummer for the renowned metal band Parkway Drive, brings a Zen quality to his teaching approach, which contrasts with the intense music he plays. The unlikely pairing of Hemsworth and Gordon has brought them closer together, as they spend time honing Hemsworth's drumming skills for an upcoming performance with none other than Ed Sheeran on the singer's stadium tour.
The episode featuring Hemsworth's drumming journey with Parkway Drive showcases his rehearsals with the band, much to the amusement of frontman Winston McCall, who struggles to keep up with Hemsworth's progress. Hemsworth's drum lessons and eventual appearance with Ed Sheeran can be seen on Limitless: Live Better Now, currently available for streaming on Disney+.
Parkway Drive is also gearing up for their 20th-anniversary European tour, starting on September 19 in Leipzig, Germany, and making its way to the UK on October 4.
