"Whiplash"...Are you rushing or dragging? - New film

[gretsch-o-rama]

It may be "psychologically intense" as a battlefield...the only difference being a Jazz drummer doesn't step on an IED on his way home. Come on, people. Really.

I'd be punching my snare if I had a tom and ride cymbal angled like that too.

Actually- a good friend of the girlfriend plays the female lead in this flick. Small world!

I wonder who they had consulting.

I wonder who they had consulting.

Keith Jarrett? hahaha

[GoAndPractice]

I wonder who they had consulting.

I'd really like to know that too.

Someone who likes buddy rich that's for sure... three references in there. His name (obviously), the thrown object with last minute duck on bandstand, and that slow to fast single stroke roll.

[Julián Fernández]

The trailer is pretty bad... Makes me think of this.. hahahah

I will actually try to watch this movie before I make any harsh judgements, but...this seems to validate "bullies" in the arts. I've always been sure that no one can force you to be a great musician/drummer...And even if one day, you decide that you are great, no one else has to agree with you. Otherwise, you're just baiting for accolades, and I got over that years ago...
