Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I was really excited when I found out about this.... a stand up show from a respectable comedian about drumming? This is going to be amazing.I'm not even 15 minutes in.... He just called an accordion a xylophone and clearly doesn't know the difference between the two. Now he's saying the Zildjian headquarters is in Istanbul but I'm pretty sure it's near me and I'm definitely in the US.... Zildijan was founded in Istanbul but I don't believe they make cymbals there. This so far has been highly edited, as if the live bit didn't go as planned and it almost seems as if Fred is a bit nervous here and there. Makes me wonder if people were leaving or were just thoroughly unimpressed. Every few minutes it cuts to some random person in the crowd really enjoying themselves and it just seems a bit overracted and fake. Sometimes even awkwardly cutting away. Anywas, gonna watch the rest cause it's actually so bad it's entertaining.

Thought this was gonna be a brilliant twist on comedy and a specially humoured piece for drummers, which don't get me wrong it was fun for drummers... for about 15 minutes in total... then it was all a bit mixed up really... Going through decades of drumming with the drum-sets in the middle was a let down... although he outlined a cool concept, it was just a little dry for comedy. Tbh I thought he was going to invite audience members to play and do a little maestro bit. Guests were a real buzzkill for me... all the guests came on and did some very damp jokes with FA but none of them were really that funny for punchline humour. He 'bigged' up Thomas Lang and gave him a good intro... and he didn't play drums until the end, WTF! They did some quirky story bit with a script and it was jut cringy really, he's a drummer, and he was announced as an amazing drummer. And only one drum beat was played by him. The three guests came back on stage and did a beat between the four of them all at the same pace. Great! A bit of drumming to end this horror-show! Wrong. Again. Well correct but man oh man did expectations (again) go too far. He shouted each name out and they played solo for about 5 seconds each, but there no fills or bits, just the same beat. I'm a drummer and for me I'd be bursting to do that if you were told to play the same beat over and over and not give those Toms a good seeing to! Overall; A full viewing is not not recommended, for lovers of drums or comedy. Sorry.

But this fell truly flat. It was really awkward and just not funny. I don't have time to point out all the reasons it fell flat but I think the bottomline is Fred did this as a "creative" project and didn't really think it all through. He probably thought "I love drums, and comedy, so let me combine them". Yes, and I'm sure you had fun doing the show(?) but combining those talents in this way didn't pan out. Portlandia is gold. Keep your comedic and musical talents separate please. Hopefully this will be a learning experience.

Fred starts off with a familiar tone that one would expect from him but continues on with lazy joke writing and overdone gags. Many of the "relatable" jokes for drummers seem to be just "You know when..." and "Don't you just hate it when (insert relatable thing for drummers)"
All in all one can see he is a talented comedian but his attempt at trying to be niche seem to have failed in my opinion.
