Count Me In (2021)
Enjoyable film
All these reviews giving the documentary poor reviews are missing the whole point. They are so hung up on the fact that their favorite drummers were not even mentioned that there was no way they could just sit back and enjoy the music. And that's what it's all about!
Some of my favorite drummers were not mentioned either but I was glad to see a few were included. For me, my enjoyment of the film was listening to these musicians talk about their craft and seeing the excitement that they got from sharing that love for what they do.
Their life is centered around their instrument and they get such a charge out of playing live and being such an important, if often forgotten, part of the music. Everybody loves the lead singer and jams with the guitarist but it's the drummer that holds it all together.
Listening to musicians talk about their inspiration, their influences, their own styles is what I love. I love the creative process and these musicians (and they are all fantastic musicians) let us in on that.
Chad Smith mentions in the film how you have to be doing it for the right reasons. The people reviewing this are just fanboys. They aren't in it for the right reasons.
Give this film a chance, if you really love music.
