Crazy 7/8 Time Signature

With Alex in Europe and with Karen & Megan staying in Elkader until Wednesday, I was left to my own devices. I had recorded "Whiplash" on the DVR a couple of days ago so I watched it (again) last night. The first video shows just how crazy this music is. I was even more impressed when I learned the time signature is 7/8 - I learned that from reading the sheet music here.



And this video below, with the crazy drum solo, is beyond anything I could ever hope to do as a drummer.



Interpretation by one viewer.



Commentary by the actors & director.



And, to answer the question, did the actor who played Andrew play drums? Here's the answer.
