 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2002 comedy-drama film directed by Charles Stone III, starring Nick Cannon and Orlando Jones.Devon Miles (Cannon) is a talented, but cocky freshman drummer for the marching band at the fictional college Atlanta A&T. Devon is recruited by band director Dr. Lee who sees his talent while scouting. His self important attitude puts him at odds with upperclassman and section leader Sean Taylor. The band director, Dr. Lee (Jones), struggles with whether Devon's talent outweighs the damage his behavior brings to the band.A made-for-TV sequel called Drumline: A New Beat was released in 2014, starring Alexandra Shipp as Dani Bolton, a full of herself drummer attending A&T. Leonard Roberts reprised his role of Sean Taylor as the new band director at A&T. Nick Cannon also returned.

 Break the Haughty: Devon thinks the entire band should revolve around him solely because of his talent. He has a rough time learning that natural talent will only get him so far.

 Author Appeal: In-canon; Lee refuses to let the band play music other than the old-school stuff he likes, even risking the band over it. He eventually learns to compromise.

 Author Avatar: The story, and Devon's character, are both based off of music director Dallas Austin.

 Broken Pedestal: Mr. Wade is Dr. Lee's former teacher despite their philosophical differences and contemporary rivalry. This leads to Calling the Old Man Out.

 Artistic License – Music: The printed music that comes out of a snare drum solo in the middle of the movie has sharps and flats, despite the fact that a snare drum has only one note (roughly, "bang"). Besides the "bang," (notated with a note) there are also flams (where both sticks hit the drum at the same speed with one slightly higher than the other; notated with one grace note to another note), double strokes (where two notes are played in one hand throughout the duration of the beat specified; notated with a slash through the note's stem), rim shots (where the shoulder of the stick hits the rim at the same time as the tip of the stick hitting the head; notated with an x on the line where notes are), and many other notations which do not use sharps or flats. Perhaps more importantly, there is no such magical computer program that transcribes your playing onto paper. At least, not one that works.
