Fan of Stewart Copeland. However, omitting Danny Carey n Neil Peart makes this documentary incomplete, IMO.

Plot summary
From heartbeat to backbeat, caveman to techno rave man, rhythm has driven our world for centuries. We journey with a cast of drummers, to discover the joy and exhilaration of a life dedicated to driving the beat. In their own words, we share the passion that has taken them from banging on pots and pans as kids, to playing on some of the world's biggest stages. Along the way, they pay tribute to the drummers that have influenced them, including the likes of Ringo, Charlie Watts, Keith Moon, John Bonham and Ginger Baker. You can have rhythm without music but you can't have music without rhythm.

No Danny Carey or Neil Peart. Therefore, not a real drumming doc
Lazy documentary
As pretty much every review has said leaving out Neal Peart is mind blowing beyond words but if I had to pick a nicer word I would say lazy. But the entire documentary was lazy since they touch upon jazz drummers for like 5 minutes which is just silly since anyone who knows drummers knows most of the best drummers ever are jazz drummers. You also cant squeeze the history of drumming into a 70 minute documentary so at the very least this should have been a series. Its very disappointing since I play and was so excited to see this but as it got about half way through I realized how limited of a show it was. I still cant believe they left out Neal Peart. Lazy.
Drumming Fans; Silence Your Vibrating High Hat and Turn this On
This was a great homage to people who love to drum. This documentary interviewed many notable drummers and had them share why they love drumming. Many of them were female drummers, which was refreshing as it appears drumming was assumed to be more of a male dominated instrument. People told us why/how they got into drumming, who their favorite drummers were (got a great shout out to my favorite John Bonham of Led Zeppelin) and simply how drumming makes them feel. The interviews were mixed in with notable rock drummers and how they advanced the sound of drumming. My only quibble would be to hear even more minor drum solos snippets. Good little doc.
