Let There Be Drums

Greenwich Ent. Snares Percussive Doc ‘Let There Be Drums!’, Featuring Ringo Starr And Late Foo Fighters Drummer Taylor Hawkins.

The tie? Our very own Sebastian Robertson adds to his growing list of custom compositions and movie scores with the complete soundtrack for this documentary that is created and surrounded by downright musical genius.

“The idea of doing the movie Let There Be Drums! really came to me as a gift. Literally,” Justin Kreutzmann said in a statement. “It started Christmas Day, 1977 when I was given a Super-8 film camera. The first home movies I filmed were of my Dad on stage at Winterland in San Francisco. They were shot from my perspective, sitting right behind him on the drum riser so he could keep an eye on me during the Grateful Dead’s performances. Drums, and the drummers that play them, have been a major component of my entire life.”

The documentary is a production of AOMA Sunshine Films, the company that produced the acclaimed 2017 Grateful Dead documentary Long Strange Trip. AOMA’s Alex Blavatnik produced Let There Be Drums! Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann serve as executive producers.

Greenwich’s Andy Bohn negotiated the acquisition with Submarine’s Dan Braun on behalf of the filmmakers.
