Let There Be Drums!

Into past and present drummers of the world, loads arent mentioned here in this documentary, like my all time favourite billy cobham, and the rythmstroker of the german band called ''can''(halleluwah is the song every drummer should listen to), and that is a pity but a great pleasure to see densmore of the doors still out there. Its most the dreadful dead that churns the disco, cause the director is the son of the bands drummer, but its a nice fill in for all music related and other ad/hd'ers with sticks in their fingers, that has this immortal drive to make a sound out of anything. So the grumpy old man recommends.

This seems to be movie for drummers and music lovers, because it seems to be a movie about drumming. That's here, of course, but it is more of a backdrop for the personal quest of several people to understanding their drumming fathers like Bill Kreutzmann, John Bonham, Ginger Baker, Phil Collins and Keith Moon. There are some nice and even some great moments on the instrument here, but then again there are many personal stories of loss and heartbreak that don't seem to follow any clear path in storytelling. I did enjoy the ride, but it does leave me disappointed, because the advertising and trailer suggest a different movie, that I would have liked to see. On the other hand this has one of the last appearances of Taylor Hawkins plus Ringo Starr, John Denmore, Stewart Copeland and other legends and that is a lot of fun, so I still recommend it.
