Post by: HuffingtonPost on May 15, 2013, 07:30 AM
Do you recognize this man?

He may look familiar, and not just because we introduced you to him last year (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/24/cornel-hrisca-munn-disabled-drummer-cover-hot-right-now_n_1449728.html). His name is Cornel Hrisca-Munn, and he's the armless Romanian drummer who has been taking the world by storm with his unbelievable story (http://www.thecorneltrust.co.uk/5.html).

Growing up in a Romanian orphanage, (http://www.thecorneltrust.co.uk/5.html) Hrisca-Munn had little hope of ever treating his disabilities. But today, he's a talented musician whose colossal talent is turning heads.

His cover of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Can't Stop" even drew the attention of the band's drummer. Hrisca-Munn tweeted today:

Chad Smith, drummer from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, just shared my drum cover of 'Can't stop' on his facebook fan page. Not too shabby.

 Since he debuted his covers on his YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/cornelmunn/videos?view=0) last year, he has drawn thousands of followers.

"Watching this guy has inspired me to get off my ass and go for my dreams (https://www.youtube.com/user/cornelmunn/videos?view=0)," user Mike McGowan commented on his "Can't Stop" cover.

Axel Mugisha, another YouTube user, wrote, "This guy proves that anything is possible (https://www.youtube.com/user/cornelmunn/videos?view=0)."

Hrisca-Munn also plays bass, is a student at Oxford University, and has won awards for fundraising on behalf of Romania's disabled.
