Life on Drums (2010)

WINNER-Music Documentary-Park City Film Music Festival (2011). From the ears, eyes and hands of renowned percussionist Billy Martin (Medeski Martin & Wood). Life On Drums is a striking examination of the drummer's art, captivatingly rendered with cinematic grace and intrigue. This anti-instructional educational experience combines candid, wide-ranging conversations with his first drum teacher (reunited after 35 years) and beautifully filmed solo, duet and ensemble performances. A riveting extension of this artist's open-ended approach to percussion, improvisation and music.
