Drummer Rates 7 Drum Scenes in Movies and TV | How Real Is It? | Insider

Ok, for all the Whiplash fans that keep saying that the scene needed some context: I had seen the movie. There is some decent, realistic playing throughout the film. Miles Teller did a pretty good job in general. For this video I got asked to rate SPECIFICALLY the playing on the scenes. Even if Fletcher was trying to mess with his head and asking him to play fast to make him uncomfortable, the actual playing is absolute nonsense. Zero. Doesn’t pass as actual playing and the bleeding hands are absurd. It is possible to play incredibly fast where the playing is organized, coordinated and polished. Not on this scene, hence the 1 rating. Cheers.

"Drummer" is the understatement of the century here lol. I really need all the non-drummers who watch this to appreciate that this dude is at the very top of his craft.

Damn, you guys got ANTONIO SANCHEZ?! Dude's one of the all-time gods of jazz and Latin jazz. If you're a drummer, you listen when this guy talks.

I saw Antonio Sanchez perform last night at a club in Portland, and I would say the drumming was fairly realistic.

So glad Sound of Metal was first and got a 10/10, the actor absolutely nailed his character

I’m glad they chose a real and very good drummer to do this. Would have been way to grab a Lars or something just for name recognition but Sanchez is a drummers drummer. Great breakdown.

Still hurts to this day that Birdman OST wasn't nominated for an Oscar. This guy is incredible

I could listen to this guy for hours. Even if he is a really experencied and talented drummer, he wasn't arrogant or pretentious during the video , he wasn't too harsh on the ratings and he made some really clears explanations. Great job !

"I did the soundtrack for Birdman" is such an understatement of what that actually was

At 7:40, Antonio speaks about making the least amount of movement possible. By coincidence, I watched him play with Pat Metheny a couple a days ago, and noticed that most of the time he manages to keep his upper arms parallel to his body, moving only from the elbows down, even when playing fast; always relaxed. He is an incredibly excelent drummer, very very musical! It´s a joy to hear him play!

When 'Whiplash' gets a 1 and 'The Office' gets a 10 you know there's a professional in the room.

Been drumming for 27 years and I'm so, so happy that That Thing You Do is featured here. That movie perfectly captures the excitement and anxiety of joining a band and playing live. Also the actor essentially put himself through a drumming bootcamp for several weeks to play the part and it shows; he looks and sounds exactly like a young guy who is good but not great and wants to be better.

Dude knows his stuff, right down to the history of traditional grip. I’m glad he pointed out the lack of a beat in the Whiplash clip.

Yea, Riz Ahmed did an amazing job on "The Sound Of Metal" in my opinion, too. I really liked his performance in the overall film, he seemed like a real drummer!

Antonio Sanchez, a living legend, awesome you got him for this!

Antonio Sánchez: Ofter imitated, never duplicated. A true master of the instrument.

He’s so well spoken. Not hard to imagine him and Pat just talking for hours after gigs. Sublime

I saw Sanchez perform the birdman soundtrack live along with the movie like 6 years ago, it was insane and amazing. Man is a beast

This is not a "Drummer Rates...", this is a master class!

For any of y'all who are unfamiliar with Antonio Sanchez, he is one of the greatest drummers of all time, no cap
