Been trying to find this film for literally decades, can anyone help?

In it an expectant father plays drums on venetian blinds tables & the rest of the furniture.


This AM thot it might be Fred Astaire but it's more of a drum thing
not a dance (yes Fred played drums also piano accordian and oboe!)

Don't remember if it was a famous drummer or not...

Anyone?

because they both did stuff like this.

as the nervous father thing is humorous...I remember laughing at the incredible
skill and sounds he was creating playing every surface of the room...
