Jim Gordon was music’s golden child, playing drums alongside many of the greatest artists of the 1960s and 70s, including Eric Clapton, John Lennon, the Everly Brothers, Ike and Tina Turner, the Beach Boys, Harry Nilsson, Carly Simon, George Harrison, and Steely Dan. But on a calm summer night in 1983, after decades of hearing voices, Gordon committed a ghastly crime that shocked the music world and destroyed one of rock’s most storied careers. Based on a true story, Drummer is an electrifying journey through some of the best music ever created and into the mind of the troubled but legendary musician who helped make it possible.
