Editorial Review:
Once you've seen Drumline, halftime shows will become works of art. This formulaic yet surprisingly captivating movie honors the military precision of college football marching bands, those battalions of eager, sternly disciplined brass sections, drummers, and fly girls who turn halftime shows into well-oiled Vegas variety acts on steroids. Devon (played by Will Smith protégé Nick Cannon) is a cocky Brooklyn kid with a snare-drumming scholarship to (fictional) Atlanta A&T University. He can't read music (he lied on his application) and his attitude sucks, but he's the best natural drummer the college has ever had, so he quickly rises through the marching band ranks. The school year brings Devon the obligatory girlfriend (Zoë Saldana, smart and charming); clashes with his old-school band director (Orlando Jones); and well-earned redemption at the championship marching band showdown. No surprises here, but great chemistry all around, and a fantastic, positive role-model showcase for a musical form that has evolved far beyond the main street parades of Smalltown, U.S.A. --Jeff Shannon

Deum Demonstration 
2009-08-09 - A good story wrapped in a lot of great drumming routines/shows. I also use the disk to demonstrate the capabilities of my Yamaha Sound Bar.

2009-08-06 - This movie was bought at a low cost and the shipping was fast! I'm very pleased with this product.
Heart Stopping Band Scenes! 
2009-06-16 - I am ordered a second copy of this DVD for my best friend who runs an orphanage in Mozambique. Many of the kids in the orphanage are musically talented and I know they will enjoy this glimpse at a uniquely American tradition that this movie depicts so well. I could watch the competitive drum scenes over and over. This movie is a little hokey at times but it is a must see for any music lover.
Excellent!! 
2009-04-13 - I got this DVD really quick and it was still wrapped and works great. I will definately buy from this person again.
