The Academy Award-winning film covers the experience of a young jazz drummer and his intense music instructor. If you&#8217;re a drummer, everyone from your best friend to your weird uncle has probably sent you the trailer or a clip from the movie at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hollywood tends to add dramatic effect where it wouldn&#8217;t exist in real life, and a movie about drummers is no exception. So we asked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/how-to-drum-like-buddy-rich-greyson-nekrutman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Greyson Nekrutman<\/a>, a young jazz drumming prodigy himself, to react to <em>Whiplash<\/em> and see how much of it looked convincing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s the same age as the main character and has also had to work hard to prove himself. Is there anything else they have in common?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are there actually deranged instructors like Fletcher out there? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/7-health-questions-drummers-are-too-embarrassed-to-ask\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Do drummers really sweat and bleed that much<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From chalk thrown across the band room to dealing with mind games, Greyson says he&#8217;s had some similar experiences. Sometimes it actually <em>does<\/em> feel like everything is going in slow motion when he&#8217;s in the moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the video to find out which parts of <em>Whiplash<\/em> Greyson thinks are accurate, and which scenes have been graced a little too hard with Hollywood&#8217;s magic wand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t seen the movie, do it. The message about overcoming challenges is a good one for anyone &#8211; even non-drummers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/greyson-nekrutman-caravan-drum-cover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oh, and Greyson actually covered &#8220;Caravan&#8221;, the final performance piece from the movie.
