Rip Bob, you may have done some bad things, but you played an amazing part in a band that saved so many people. Fly high Bob Bryar.🕊️
Zeke❤️ Everyone wishes they could be a kid again. Zeke McPherson is a 16 year old kid living in fear of his once loving father. Zeke was always a quiet kid but his father's violence has made him almost silent and nobody even notices. Art and music are the only things that keep him going so when his best friend Ronan suggests that his other best friend Josh and the two of them start a band, he's delighted. He even manages to make a new friend named Caolan who joins the band too. As the band grows so does Zeke's confidence but his father's rage is getting worse...
I thoroughly believe Kai would be a drummer. Like if he was in a band or knew an instrument it would be the drums. Like hardcore Rodrick Heffley energy.

Review: Whiplash (2014)
Rating: 9.8 of 10
A story about how one young ambitious jazz drummer Andrew Neyman (Miles Teller), captured the attention, and then some, of a talented but ruthless teacher Terence Fletcher (JK Simmons), Whiplash is one of the most electric and intense film about music.
Partly inspired by its writer and director's, Damien Chazelle, own experiences as a jazz drummer at school, the movie defies every stereotype one might expect from such film. Pursuit of greatness is such a prevalent theme in movies about music/dance/sports/whatever to the extent that the trope becomes boring, but Whiplash managed to find a fresh new angle to the trope with refreshing complexity. As we see Fletcher barking orders to his scared students, and as we see him encouraging a little girl to keep playing music; as we see Andrew practicing his beats over and over again through the night, and as we see him having dinner with his loving but unappreciative father, we understand them better as we see different sides of them, and we appreciate them as morally grey characters that they are. JK Simmons stole the show as Fletcher--but with every smirk, every twinkle, and every glance, Miles Teller successfully conveyed Andrew's drive, his humiliation, and his ambition through silence. He also played a convincing drum on screen (for non-drummer like me) too, which always help elevate a movie.
Whiplash is also an extremely intense movie, like you wouldn't believe. With tight shots, sweat, blood, pure determination, strive for perfection and no tolerance for anything less, watching Whiplash is like an endurance sport for your heart. TL;DR Filled with more thrill than any of recent action movies combined (okay, maybe not Mad Max: Fury Road), Whiplash is an experience like no other--and with good jazz music, too? You can't lose.
Curtis the legend! Always creative on details hahaha. #musician #drummer #music #HouseOfBlues #sunsetstrip (at House of Blues Sunset Strip)
