I typed in your decription. This is what came up.

The movie you're thinking of is likely "Bang the Drum Slowly" (1973), where a character plays a drum on the furniture. In this film, a baseball player finds out that he has an illness, and his best friend plays the drums on the furniture in a scene. The plot also involves the character's father figure being a musician.

Is that it?
