The fact that he did a lot of the drumming in Whiplash is insane in itself. Miles deserves more recognition for his performance because he was incredible. I've never felt so much tension and anxiety from just watching a teacher and student go at it. And the last 10 minutes or so in the film was nuts. Such a great movie. I hope Miles continues picking more roles like Whiplash and The Spectacular Now. His filmography isn't perfect but he's got a lot of talent.

[@babakhanoushii]

I literally forgot to breathe during so many scenes in this film. The finale had me reeling.

[@The0versun1]

***** watch the video when the director of the movie says Miles plays 90% in the movie in ''drum'' and little stuff had to be fixed or played by someone else

[@CRodsnare]

None of his drumming was truly him. It's like the movie "drumline" when Nick cannons face isn't ever shown with his hands playing what you hear. Although he might have played one or two of the scenes genuinely, most of it was edited from another drummers' playing. I'm a very experienced drummer myself. That's why I watched this film

[@SharmarkeYusuf]

***** jamie foxx has been playing piano since he was a kid, idk where you heard that

[@TheMostBoringGuy]

You can tell he's not playing for most of it because where you will hear a cymbal or drum you won't see him hit that object. Like the noise came from somewhere but he didn't make it. Obviously a lot of editing was done and someone played over what was filmed.

Yes - the lack of a nomination for Best Actor is a disgrace. They should shut down the academy for one year and take a long hard look at themselves. (oh dear, they do that already on a regular basis - narcistic fuckheads)

[@NerismaStudios]

As a drummer, I have a few things to say... The first is to get it out of the way: never underestimate movie magic. Secondly, Miles is spot-on here where jazz is an entirely different beast and learning it isn't easy. Lastly, whether it was intentional or not, his right hand ended up holding and playing the sticks much like Buddy Rich did: using his two primary fingers to move the stick, as opposed to all 4 fingers.

[@Trepanee]

Apparently him and the director spent a lot of time perfecting that jazz-drumming posture so I wouldn't be surprised if it was just another golden detail they included.

[@InfinityFidelity]

Adam Neely who is an actual jazz musician educated at the Berklee College of Music and ASCAP Young Jazz Composer award winner in 2012 and 2015 ripped this movie apart.

He was "self-taught" to play simple rock and roll drums. He took hours of lessons to learn many of the jazz techniques 99% of rock drummers don't use. It was him playing the majority of the drumming in the movie. However with the magic of editing (There is a reason this movie is up for best editing in the Oscars) it sounded as if he was playing continuously when in fact he only played in small parts which were edited together to make it seem like it was shot in one take.

[@jazzx251]

I thought this would put you off for life! So ... Fletcher's approach to teaching DOES work.

[@TheCardboardWarlord]

***** I absolutely believe his approach works. I also recently started playing billiards on a league. My team's captain takes it WAY too serious and, as a result, I'm constantly practicing in an effort to a) avoid ridicule and b) one day shut him up by running the table on him lol. I think you need something or someone real to represent the challenge you wish to overcome. Otherwise, you're running in a race with no checkpoints in sight.

[@jazzx251]

Shawn Hilliard Ok - but if your captain pressed your head into the table and whipped you fifteen times on the back of the head with a bag of pool balls every time you missed, is that taking it too far? It seems like your captain isn't that bad - he wants to win, and makes it absolutely clear to you in no uncertain terms. He's the Sir Alex Ferguson of billiard!.

[@TheCardboardWarlord]

***** haha I definitely agree that putting hands on someone is unacceptable. I actually forgot about the slap scene lol.

[@jazzx251]

Shawn Hilliard How could you forget that?! We're talking about a change in teaching techniques over the last few decades. My parents would get the belt for getting a question wrong. And they are nowhere near as smart as me or any of my sisters! So it didn't work on them (I need to tell them how to work a computer every single fucking year when I visit - as well as clean their computer of all the malware they've downloaded!). I am a music tutor myself, and I have never raised my voice to a student in 18 years. Because I know that my job is to support them in times of frustration and help them. If they're not getting it, it's my fault as a teacher for not coming up with a way to identify the problem that they're having trouble understanding. I always win in the end - no face slaps required! You would have won anyway - just by quietly pursuing your craft of beating everyone else at pool. You didn't need to get belted by this idiot. Terrence's approach is wrong - it is proved to be wrong in modern sports, where records are broken through good science, individual willpower, and - yes - very motivational coaching (not involving bruises or scars at any stage). I am a self-taught professional jazz trumpeter. I didn't need Terrence Fletcher to give me his version of advice - I go through much worse in my head before I do a solo...

+David Janeš He definitely isn't. Not only is he not playing, from looking at his technique, he couldn't. It's funny that he mentions grip here, every drummer who sees this film straight away thinks 'wtf's up with his grip?'

grip is less important if you know what you're doing

[@pietzsche]

+David Janeš are you kidding? it's not possible to play at those speeds without perfect technique, only his index fingers are on the sticks half the time, no drummer in history could do that.

[@OddMusicMashup]

hes really IN life, the calculated questions to ask and respond thats figured out ahead of times, miles goes beyond that, so real

[@misterfunnybones]

He should bring Bozzio's kit to that jazz gig. That teacher would've never been able to throw anything or touch him, because of Bozzio's fortified drum castle!

[@jazzx251]

hehehe - he would have fired arrows from the ramparts at Terrence Fletcher!

[@aysenaztoptas]

Love Miles. Genuinely. Purely.

[@HeyCarlaRawr]

"I felt like I was coming in early" ...OH so you do know the difference between rushing and dragging... Interesting... hahahaha

[@fretboardstumbler]

Just seen whiplash and it instantly became my favourite film of all time!!!!! Miles you are a absolute legend!!!!! No film beats whiplash!!!!!!!

[@TheChestermarc]

This video needs more cowbell

[@tashamiel]

Teller is insanely goodlooking in this video. Not to mention funny

[@liamtg912]

final scene is definitely not him drumming

[@carsondrum]

i know, a lot of scenes they zoomed in on his hands and they were different hands, also a lot of times what he was playing with his hands didn't match the sound.

[@JordanHigginsGuitar]

Why is it definitely not?

[@EvanJS5]

It's his own drumming with professional recording layered over it

[@Trepanee]

It's all him but it was recorded in chunks

[@agentapple2674]

It was him actually

[@pkgannon]

as drummer this movie was exhilarating. my heart rate was up over 100..

[@PaleBlueDott]

How come interstellar get higher rating than Whiplash?I thought Interstellar was one of the top movies of the year but after watching Whiplash I could tell for sure that it's the best movie of the year hands down.

[@blufish6684]

How do you even compare the two? Comepletly diffrent genres of movies,sure Whiplash was more entertaining in some aspects,but you can't compare it the story of Interstellar

[@portaltexture758]

GamingFunz14 Idk, those two movies are tied up neck to neck, however I think Interstellar wins this one out by *this* much...

[@LoriWolfcat]

Only guy that finally said he was a drummer by his role. Genius! SUCH an amazing drummer! I hope I'm as good as him soon.

[@Amboyz1]

that dude lost maaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddd weight

[@LaDominicana33]

Seriously. I wonder if it's more for another project he's doing.

[@mysweetsense]

I think its for insurgent and allegiant. he has to be pretty fit for his role as peter.

[@Daemon1995_]

he was fat ?

[@LaDominicana33]

Yoshima No, definitely not fat. Just thinner than he already was.

[@aquaticmushroom8864]

i think he lost when he was doing divergent but i might be wrong

[@colderbeer]

Saw WHIPLASH last nite....this was definitely a top 3 or 4 films of the year......BRAVO!

[@harrisonmyers1572]

Lemme just say this so as to clear things up: Teller does play the drums but the reason none of his in-movie movements matches up with the audio is because the audio was something Teller had prerecorded for the film.

[@donw9858]

No it isn't. The actual drummer is listed on the soundtrack

[@GuiltyMiner0343]

+Don Williamson There were two drummers, Teller and whoever did the more complicated stuff.

[@hannahjoyukulele]

i was shocked he wasn't nominated for an Oscar for this role!

[@BeautifulRose16]

Insane movie! Man oh mannn

[@EllaBullwright-m4v]

Respect for the tamberine guy... so talented... also I love miles so much ❤

[@olexia07]

He looks like a baby John Cusack

[@seekingwisdom8]

A few things; First, Simmons character is similar to a drill instructor in boot camp. He pushes people to the breaking point. Those who can't take it, quit, those who can, are better for it. Second; A very important scene was when the music was lost and the one dude said he couldn't play without it. I see arguments all the time about who is the best drummer. In this situation, anyone who practices for years reading charts can play the charts. The true talent is not just in memorizing the charts as shown in the movie, but in playing the music because you feel it. Playing what someone else wrote takes practice and talent, but creative genius comes from playing what you feel and having it compliment or enhance the music. Argue all day about his grip, if he was able to really play or if he is any good. The movie wasn't about that. No one has mentioned his choice to break up with the girl to focus on playing, that is real stuff. Great movie.

[@Adriangarcia-zw8rn]

most drummers are self taught lol. kinda goes hand in hand when learning to play the drums

[@Novalunosis90]

Same as my dad!

[@Hayleeh]

I taught myself. My band teacher didn't really care about us drummers. Lol

[@mutesenscans]

most of the big drummers recently got self-taught then bought tutelage later on. as long as you're playing with bands and other drummers you never really "teach yourself" entirely how to play

[@rumblefish9]

Not when you want to play jazz.

[@angieangie1175]

This movie is so underrated and so is Miles, he can do so many different genres of acting he's been robbed of numerous Oscars.

[@DiglahProductions]

is this going to be another case where the actor doesnt credit the stunt double? I've been a drummer for 22 years, and the sounds you're hearing from most of the drums in the movie is pre reocrded or recorded or in post editing were made by a PROFESSIONAL drummer. You can even see several shots where the hands look completely different during close up shots. It's very deceptive to the average viewer to think this talented actor actually played all of the drumming in the movie.

[@ddrumska]

Stunt doubles used in a movie!? I am shocked! 😯

[@joeyp8928]

he played himself.. watch the making...

[@c.w.a9357]

EllisEvolvedProductions he wasn't playing in the scene yes they pre recorded it, but he was drumming u dumb ass

[@Trepanee]

He played it all but it was recorded in chunks. I thought he should have mentioned that the tutoring he had was from the guy who played Carl (his drumming rival) in the movie.

[@fuzzylogiceire]

Kyle Crane is the name of the stunt double, he's a professional drummer who has worked with Daniel Lanois (famous producer). The drummer who recorded the actual drums is uncredited according to Peter Erskine, apparently because he's a member of the musicians union and he's not officially supposed to be doing non union gigs (which Whiplash was)

[@carywhatzizname4060]

I really like this kid, as well as JK Simmons. Whiplash is a truly great movie.

[@ianm2610]

Jimmy's communication skills : not on my fu¢king tempo

[@bumskug]

I knew he was an actor moving towards bigger and better things but his performance in Whiplash was above and beyond (even without the obvious insane musical talent}! Very much looking forward to seeing what he has to offer in the future. "I want to be talked about the way people talk about Hoffman and De Niro and Pacino." I don't doubt him for a second.

[@kiwifruit138]

i've never had more anxiety watching anything ever

[@KyloRen4238]
