Description

Featuring interviews with Ringo Starr, the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith, and late Foo Fighters member Taylor Hawkins, Let There Be Drums! is a celebration of drummers. This personal documentary shares the personal struggles that so many musicians and their families have faced, the nature of how music passes from generation to generation and the essential role that drumming plays in human life. In the words of director Justin Kreutzmann, the son of Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann, “It started as a fun little film with all the drummers I’ve gotten to know over years. It wasn’t until Taylor Hawkins stopped our interview and said, ‘Maybe this isn’t for this documentary, but what was your home life like?’ I found from then on, I was having a dialogue with these amazing drummers instead of just a Q&A.”
