This film makes me feel like playing the drums! Did some homework and could only find this short film on the VHS version of TETSUO (IRON MAN) it is NOT on the DVD version, That sucks! So now I have both versions... what really got me was the music, very catchy! and I like it. there should be a sequel to this film or complete the story. (What was the audition for?) anyways, I'm still looking for a soundtrack or mp3 to download ........

I remember seeing this when I rented "Tetsuo: The Iron Man", Shinya Tsukamoto's cult classic. While that film proved to be an acquired taste, I fell in love with this masterpiece of short films instantly rather than over time. It's definitely fairly hard to describe, because it's just such an amazing film. I found it to be funny, grotesque, and just out-and-out ODD (which is always fun). The music was of a good caliber as well. This was the movie that showed me the power that even an eccentric ten-minute comedy could generate as opposed to many feature-length films. After this, I have always viewed short films as important as feature-lengths. In fact, great movies like "Drum Struck" deserve more attention than even the best miniseries-length, multibillion-dollar masturbation out of Hollywood (even when they are actually entertaining masturbation, which is, admittedly, damn rare). Hell, anyone renting "Tetsuo" is going to have to have an open mind. Just remember, as exhausting as the feature presentation is, try to keep your mind open for an extra ten minutes afterward for this classic.

NEVER, have I seen a movie worse or more pointless than this. I saw it on the end of the video for Tetsuo: The Iron Man (Now THAT is a crazy film). I consider myself pretty open to alternative cinema, but this "film" is pure and utter craptacularity. 'nuff said

First of all if you want to see this your best bet is to find the video of Tetsuo: the Iron Man. The story starts with a band auditioning drummers. The guy who loses the gig kills the other drummer. The dead drummer is brought back Frankenstein style using jumper cables, mayhem ensues.Humorous, funky, and weird. It reminded me of Frankenweenie in a way, and also of early Sam Raimi films: Crimewave, Evil Dead etc.
