Miles Teller Is a Self-Taught Drummer 

Tracey Claver at least a nomination he deserved!

@@oNoRoDrIgOabsolutely he is the most underrated actor in this world. At least one of the most

Dude That last scene really is like the beat ending of movie ever

Yeah

No!

did nicole show up to the show at the end?

This movie has to nominated for Oscars at least for performances....

091MW2 You don't see her no!

Esten Amalvy Yeah both were insane

Ben Jauncey i couldnt tell if she was there or not when i saw the movie...

I literally forgot to breathe during so many scenes in this film. The finale had me reeling.

***** watch the video when the director of the movie says Miles plays 90% in the movie in ''drum'' and little stuff had to be fixed or played by someone else

None of his drumming was truly him. It's like the movie "drumline" when Nick cannons face isn't ever shown with his hands playing what you hear. Although he might have played one or two of the scenes genuinely, most of it was edited from another drummers' playing. I'm a very experienced drummer myself. That's why I watched this film

***** jamie foxx has been playing piano since he was a kid, idk where you heard that

You can tell he's not playing for most of it because where you will hear a cymbal or drum you won't see him hit that object. Like the noise came from somewhere but he didn't make it. Obviously a lot of editing was done and someone played over what was filmed.

The only time I really hated and loved the "villain" but then again without him the ending wouldve been different

YOU GOD DAMN RIGHT

I feel ya!

If you're sweating after a movie, it's not because of the movie, it's because you're fucking fat.

Krizza Jane Bermudo Pig does not Sweat!!!

Watched the movie last night, the ending shook me to my very core

Mazin Elobeid where did you watch it? I cant find it anywhere :(

LimpWibler Productions Erm...do they not have cinemas where you live? (btw, there's a 1080p version on torrents)

LimpWibler Productions It was released on Friday in London

lmao

+Terrence Fletcher fuck i laughed too hard at this

The two most destructive words in the world are 'good job'. Someone needed to throw a chair at him.

Not quite my tempo

I see what you did there lol

I loved the film, but, don't quite know how to pitch seeing it to people because it is so .... INTENSE and the acting is off the chain(s)!

Leilani Kapoor just give it your best shot to pitch to whom it may concern ;-)

leefuji Yeah, good one. I loved the film a lot but, the movie is so intense that I don't think that the "average Joe" as they say can sit through it enjoyably. It is a lot to swallow, and the acting is almost scary, it is so good. :)

That last ten minutes is BRILLIANT.

Bobby Pendragon The most exhilarating 10 minutes I've felt in a movie.

ARE YOU RUSHING OR ARE YOU DRAGGING?!

ARE U A RUSHER OR A DRAGGER?!?!?!?! lol loved that movie

DO I LOOK LIKE A DOUBLE FUCKING RAINBOW TO YOU?!?!?!?

LMAO

mafiashipment ...a medical condition. What are you, fuckin' Sanji Gupta? Play the God damn music!

Yeah, better that Bradley Cooper imo

+Katahn Hardy or leo xDd

+Katahn Hardy wayy better

It's fucked up that him and Michael B. Jordan got snubbed.

Logan Wendt a year late buddy

Jazz drumming is its own beast for sure

Tony Williams

The Physicist You speak the truth jazz really added to my playing

The Physicist Too bad an actual jazz musician says that there were a lot of things the movie got wrong. Its not a good representation of jazz education or jazz musicians at all.

+sculas12 2 amazing explanations.

Fv

Brickstun Ram because everything was suped up and dramatized.

I wouldn't say so, I thought it played out perfectly

@@bananian Yeah, it's almost like that's what the point of movies are.

Yes - the lack of a nomination for Best Actor is a disgrace. They should shut down the academy for one year and take a long hard look at themselves. (oh dear, they do that already on a regular basis - narcistic fuckheads)

Apparently him and the director spent a lot of time perfecting that jazz-drumming posture so I wouldn't be surprised if it was just another golden detail they included.

+(Sarcasm) The director/writer actually is a skilled jazz drummer and wanted to be a musician before he went to film school. So I wouldn't be surprised either.

@@InfinityFidelity ahh thats so cool

@@InfinityFidelity The director and writer is an amateur jazz musician who was in a jazz band when he was in high school at the Princeton High School. He was NOT a professional jazz player. Adam Neely who is an actual jazz musician educated at the Berklee College of Music and ASCAP Young Jazz Composer award winner in 2012 and 2015 ripped this movie apart. Also, he said the movie is far from what jazz education really is. Additionally, most of the references are outdated. he likens this movie as a sports movie rather than a jazz movie.

@@rumblefish9 I saw his review. He actually thought it was a good movie. He was just nitpicking the musical details and frankly being kind of a douche.

No way. eddie redmayne and benedict cumberbatch had masterful acting performances that year.

It was a tough competiton

It was a rough year for him. Any other time, he absolutely would have won. The thing is, he's only going to get better and more dynamic as an actor and win.

Same! I've never been more stressed while watching a movie

Doesn't look 27. 21 at most.

It's 2022 now and Myles is a handsome leading man, and still a very sharp dresser.

@@tj.espygil4544 true that

So you DO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!

I thought this would put you off for life! So ... Fletcher's approach to teaching DOES work.

***** I absolutely believe his approach works. I also recently started playing billiards on a league. My team's captain takes it WAY too serious and, as a result, I'm constantly practicing in an effort to a) avoid ridicule and b) one day shut him up by running the table on him lol. I think you need something or someone real to represent the challenge you wish to overcome. Otherwise, you're running in a race with no checkpoints in sight.

Shawn Hilliard Ok - but if your captain pressed your head into the table and whipped you fifteen times on the back of the head with a bag of pool balls every time you missed, is that taking it too far? It seems like your captain isn't that bad - he wants to win, and makes it absolutely clear to you in no uncertain terms. He's the Sir Alex Ferguson of billiard!.

***** haha I definitely agree that putting hands on someone is unacceptable. I actually forgot about the slap scene lol.

Shawn Hilliard How could you forget that?! We're talking about a change in teaching techniques over the last few decades. My parents would get the belt for getting a question wrong. And they are nowhere near as smart as me or any of my sisters! So it didn't work on them (I need to tell them how to work a computer every single fucking year when I visit - as well as clean their computer of all the malware they've downloaded!). I am a music tutor myself, and I have never raised my voice to a student in 18 years. Because I know that my job is to support them in times of frustration and help them. If they're not getting it, it's my fault as a teacher for not coming up with a way to identify the problem that they're having trouble understanding. I always win in the end - no face slaps required! You would have won anyway - just by quietly pursuing your craft of beating everyone else at pool. You didn't need to get belted by this idiot. Terrence's approach is wrong - it is proved to be wrong in modern sports, where records are broken through good science, individual willpower, and - yes - very motivational coaching (not involving bruises or scars at any stage). I am a self-taught professional jazz trumpeter. I didn't need Terrence Fletcher to give me his version of advice - I go through much worse in my head before I do a solo...

+David Janeš He definitely isn't. Not only is he not playing, from looking at his technique, he couldn't. It's funny that he mentions grip here, every drummer who sees this film straight away thinks 'wtf's up with his grip?'

grip is less important if you know what you're doing

+David Janeš are you kidding? it's not possible to play at those speeds without perfect technique, only his index fingers are on the sticks half the time, no drummer in history could do that.

good point though

+David Janeš his grip, technique and everything is so far off in this movie. The fact that Teller actually kind of thinks he's good/did a good job is embarassing, because he's not.

final fantasy 4?😏

Whiteytheripper No you fool. Fant4stic Four.

I know dude, you typed FF4 though when it's just F4. I don't see a second F

Whiteytheripper Ay.What a fool I was! Alas, you are correct.

Alas, I love this comment thread

Brilliant

Yes

who cares?

zachary behm I do. Thanks SanLouisKid !!

he said 90% of the his character playing was actually him

I haven't seen the movie. Is the drumming in the movie that great? Also, no foremost jazz drummers actually get recognized.

ShredST The drumming in the movie is absolutely superb. Buddy Rich (grade A arsehole) gets recognised a lot both in style and spirit in this movie. He is the inspiration for the horrific Terrence Fletcher, as well as his pupil who idolises his incredible feats of drumming endurance.

Tommy Ortiz lol, nope 2/10

Tommy Ortiz Gr8 b8 I 8 on a pl8 m8 I r8 8/8.

7/10 for me. Felt kinda incomplete at the end. But the drumming was superb tho.

Agent Apple hiw is the ending incomplete? He played the everything beautifully and you understand (hopefuly) that he is the student that the teacher was wanting the while time

Spicy Qauil yeah. I guess I missed that point. But no scenes after that last scene kinda left me wanting more.

You can do it!!!

Well here's a little suggestion, try turning off your phone when you go to a movie theater from now on. You're being an inconsiderate jerk if you don't, and it's also a sign of poor self-control when you can't live without your phone for only 2 hours. Honestly, do you wake up every 15 minutes to check at night, too?

RCAvhstape Who said I watch all my films at the cinema? I saw this one there, but last time I went cinema was in the summer, I catch many other films on netflix or when released on dvd with inconsideration to no one in the comfort of my own home. When I'm at home I can comfortably watch a film and check my phone (I work for a company where I get emails CONSTANTLY on my workphone and need to respond no matter what time of day, but I forgot about it during this film). I don't even have fb, twitter or instagram. So here's a suggestion, don't make any more assumptions about me you dickhead. All I said was a nice thing about an amazing film that kept me engrossed so fuck off with that.

Oh thanks.

Seriously. I wonder if it's more for another project he's doing.

I think its for insurgent and allegiant. he has to be pretty fit for his role as peter.

he was fat ?

Yoshima No, definitely not fat. Just thinner than he already was.

i think he lost when he was doing divergent but i might be wrong

hehehe - he would have fired arrows from the ramparts at Terrence Fletcher!

How do you even compare the two? Comepletly diffrent genres of movies,sure Whiplash was more entertaining in some aspects,but you can't compare it the story of Interstellar

GamingFunz14 Idk, those two movies are tied up neck to neck, however I think Interstellar wins this one out by *this* much...

Same as my dad!

I taught myself. My band teacher didn't really care about us drummers. Lol

most of the big drummers recently got self-taught then bought tutelage later on. as long as you're playing with bands and other drummers you never really "teach yourself" entirely how to play

Not when you want to play jazz.

Yeah, I thought the same thing

It's probably because he is working out while filming Insurgent

I think they are working on insurgent right now.

Yea he's been working in a lot of films this year and traveling so that happens when your busy.

No it isn't. The actual drummer is listed on the soundtrack

+Don Williamson There were two drummers, Teller and whoever did the more complicated stuff.

Everything was him but recorded in chunks. His tutor was the guy who played Carl

Lol gtfo

+GermanSnipe14 i'm pretty sure he wasn't the one playing , but you need to be good enoug to drum-sync ?

There were probably playing the audio and not recording the sound of the drums. It's pretty hard to edit too.

+GermanSnipe14 it was a mixture of playback and actual playing

They recorded him playing

+GermanSnipe14 It's not live for the movie. He pre-recorded the sets in parts and they stitched it together to make the full scenes.
