Editorial Review:
Halftime is party time in this high-energy comedy about a gifted street drummer (Nick Cannon) who snares the top spot in a university marching band - but quickly discovers it takes more than talent to succeed. Featuring a hip-hop soundtrack and dazzling dance moves, Drumline "shakes, rattles and rolls the house!" (Washington Post)
Description of Drumline (Special Edition):
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
Drumline (Special Edition) Reviews:
Drumline 
2009-02-10 - This is a fantastic movie about the background of a major college band.
An incredible and enjoyable movie with fantastic music and a lot of food
for thought in the main story line...honesty.
interesting movie 
2009-01-19 - As a music teacher and a marching band percussion director, I found this movie very inspiring. It gives an idea of what it is to be part of a drum corps. My high school students are not treated the same way but I was glad to offer a different prospective of being a percussionist in some colleges. It is very inspiring, very entertaining...
Great service
2008-11-30 - The DVD was delivered a lot faster than I was expected it and was in the condition as described.
great topic, well done, inspiring marching & story
2008-09-28 - Great look into marching band competition. Well acted. Life lessons -- persistance, respect, focus on goals, team not individual, follow dreams, and more. Great for pre-teens on up.
Drumline DVD Purchase
2008-09-09 - The DVD arrived on time and in excellent condition. It's almost impossible to find this DVD at most video stores and when I did find it, the price was more than I ended up paying through amazon.com. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.
