A Drummer’s Dream has been covered by media from across Canada
“A handful or so of some of the world’s most exuberant, innovative and technically perfect drummers convene for a drumming clinic in rural Ontario. Nasyr Abdul Al-Khabyyr? Horacio (El Negro) Hernandez? Most, if not all, are not household names. These are drummers’ drummers who have backed-up jazz and rock giants like Dizzy Gillespie and Carlos Santana. Non-drummers watching the film will be blown over by the joy in their virtuoso playing. But this is really a film for drummers to buy on DVD and study over and over until the rewind button breaks.”
