You are wrong this Documentary was almost good but fell flat on its face for having the audacity to not even mention The Professor The late great Neal Peart of Rush. Shame on the directors for even making this with no mention of Neal’s massive influence. Two Thumbs down!
Where’s Neil Peart (RIP)? Any documentary about drummers MUST include Neil Peart! But not even a single mention about him. What an egregious omission. This removes all credibility from this so-called documentary. Really sad.
