You don’t have to have an obsession with drummers to enjoy the movie, but you do have to have a curiosity about the elements that go into great music.

Rated: 3/4

…CMI is propelled as much by a desire to inform about the past as it is to inspire the next generation; the ideal audience are young people who are hoping to find a future in music, and should find this a persuasive invite to the loudest imaginable party…

Rated: 4/5

It’s fine for others in the profession to enjoy.

A fun doc about rock drumming, especially women drummers. If you'd told me in the 70s that in 2022 there'd be a 19-year-old girl (Madden Klass) who could blow the doors off legendary jazz drummer Max Roach I'd have told you you were taking strong drugs.

Rated: 3.5/5

While Count Me In is made for, about and by drummers, you don't need to be one to enjoy it.

The Canberra Times (Australia)

A documentary tribute that is long overdue and, while a touch uneven, the musicians are articulate and tell a genuinely intriguing story about an underrated art form

Rated: 4/5

No Alice De Buhr, Steve Gadd, Neil Peart. Sheesh. All rather shallow with an unconvincing drumboree at the end.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

While on the whole I enjoyed the movie, I could not believe they did not include Neil Pert in the movie. To omit arguably the best drummer of all time seems wrong in a movie about drummers.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

This is such a great movie about playing drums, and it features outstanding players from a variety of genres. It takes a lot for me to love a documentary as they're typically somewhat plodding. Not this one - explosive and informative as well as just downright fun.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Not bad. Love how they paid homage to the importance of jazz drummers. But c'mon- they forgot to mention the late great Neil Peart of Rush.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A must see for any drummer but I may biased as I have been hitting the skins for 40+ years. This film is a bunch of fun
