Title: Director: Charles Stone III Starring: Nick Cannon, Zoe Salanda, and Orlando Jones In a society where sex, drugs, and money play the plot in teenage movies, Drumline offers an inspirational story with a kick of today's hip-hop and a dash of attitude.
Musically gifted percussionist Devon (Cannon) from Harlem receives a full scholarship to Atlanta A&T well known for their marching band program. The cocky wannabe freshman campus king of snare drums cannot keep himself out of trouble with the music director Dr. Aaron Lee (Jones) constantly down his throat for an attitude check. After receiving a slap in the face Devon learns the motto "One band. One sound" cannot be lived by his own talents alone but the contribution his fellow members. With snare-driven reverberations the climax of the movie gives an up close and personal look of what a person would experience right on the sidelines.
