Katharine McPhee Foster and David Foster's son has definitely inherited the musician gene.

On Friday, Foster, 74, shared a video to his Instagram of his 2½-year-old son Rennie David as he expertly played the drums.

Sitting behind a red drum kit with his name printed on the front, the toddler wears black headphones and bangs out a drum solo, impressively keeping time with the song while his dad sits on a couch nearby, watching proudly.

"❗️ Drumming into the new year ❗️#still2yearsold," Foster wrote in his caption.

This isn't the first time the proud parents have shared videos of their son rocking out. In October, the Smash star, 39, shared a video of her son playing on a drumset, keeping the beat while jamming out barefoot and wearing noise-canceling headphones.

"POV: your 2 year old baby shows off his drumming skills," wrote McPhee Foster. In the caption, the actress teased that Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker might have some competition on his hands.

"Coming for ya @travisbarker," she joked.

In October 2022, the American Idol alum and her husband spoke to PEOPLE about their son's musical talents.

"We think [he'll be musical], but we don't know," Foster said at the time. "Kids, strangely, will do something for a while and then it'll amaze you and then they just drop it and they don't do it anymore."

"So we don't know if the drumming thing is here to stay — I'd rather he have a tennis racket in his hand than a drumstick to tell you the truth," he continued. "But anyway, if he ends up being a drummer, that would be great too. He loves watching our drummer, JR Robinson."

In a previous interview with Entertainment Tonight, the singer-actress and her husband again raved about Rennie's musical abilities.

"It makes sense that he'd be musical," McPhee Foster told the outlet. "He's certainly obsessed with the drums! Or imaginary drums, for that matter."

Still, Foster said their son is too "young" for them to know if he'd follow in their footsteps in the music industry.

"When you look at somebody like [athletes] Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf, their kids are very talented... but they're not tennis players, so we don't know," he added.
