Correction: He does hit the drums, it's just on what looks like part of the up stroke. The drumstick hovers a small distance above the drum, and he then makes a short, sharp downward movement followed by a large upswing. Difficult to spot, and I thought the same at first, but it's there.

Visible crew/equipment: When James Stewart tells Doris Day that he lied about the telephone call being from the hotel, Doris gets excited and James struggles with her on the bed. During that scene, you can see on the upper left corner a shadow of a microphone.
