A look at the drum historically and in different cultures around the world.

Rhythm plays a key roll in life, from the heartbeat to raindrops; the beat of drums, too, plays a key roll in life, from communication devices to trance facilitators. The drum is an instrument that transcends culture, religion, and musical style. Pervasive throughout the world, from the cave man to Rock & Roll, every culture uses drums to express rhythm. Having captured footage of drumming in Morocco and India, BulletProof Film continues shooting in showing the drum in familiar and unfamiliar ways.

The popularity of World Music makes a ready audience for a film about this universal instrument.
