3/4
Nearly all the interviews are with the professionals. That's fine, since these guys are almost as good at talking as they are at smiling. Go to Full Review

Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine Aug 26, 2019
The one-man displays of virtuosity are extraordinary. But the film-directed with clean, lyrical precision by John Walker-also does a fine job of exploring the necessary balance between technical brilliance and soulful simplicity. Go to Full Review

Luke S Jan 8, 2017 Great to start, the first drummer/teacher they show, Mike Mangini, was amazing. but then after that, it's just an hour of guys banging on the drums. Some good interviews and insights into drummers for pop bands, but mostly just wacky beats and sweaty guys sitting on stools. Watched on Netflix on Sam's iPad in her bed (she was napping), January 8, 2017. See more
