Count Me In

I enjoyed this documentary but it lost a lot of credibility by omitting Neil Peart, considered by most rock fans and all industry magazines as one of the top two or three greatest drummers of all time. His estate might have restricted use of footage but IP laws don't prohibit talking about someone. Wow!

Some of the negative reviews miss the point. This is a great doc with a dozen or so great drummers explaining their history, their love, their sheer joy of the art of tub thumping. It' s not meant to be a history or drumming, but references the influences and heros of 50 years. It's a live story to drums and drummers.

If you live percussion then watch it. If you ae expecting a definitive list of the greats, then it's not for you. But for what it is, It's great fun and I loved it.

Drummers across.

Just to make sure the makers of this documentary get it loud and clear, I'm going to knowingly echo the other reviewers.

Even thought I'm not really a Neil Peart fan, leaving him out of this documentary is virtually a hate crime. Lots of other Iconic drummers are left out, especially the session guys (Blaine, Palmer, Gordon, Porcaro, Purdie, all the Motown drummers). All of the above mentioned would have been much more satisfying than the inordinate amount of screen time devoted to Nicko McBrain, Chad Smith, and the parade of obscure drummers we see here.

Great watch with some worthy contributions. A definitive drummers 'who's who' would be an 8 part series which the detractors don't seem to acknowledge. Enjoyable hours plus fun watch with an interesting female angle.
