Drum giant Antonio Sánchez on 'Birdman' tour after album with Trent Reznor, Dave Matthews and Pat Metheny

How big an impact can a film that wins four Oscars have on someone who doesn't appear on screen in a single frame of that film? In the case of Antonio Sánchez, life-changing. The Mexico City native and 20-year veteran of the Pat Metheny Group was already one of the most celebrated drummers in the world when director Alejandro G. Iñárritu approached him in 2013.

But what makes the film snap, crackle and pop — literally and figuratively — is Sánchez's remarkably creative drumming. His playing musically mirrors and enhances 'Birdman's' characters and their actions with stunning imagination, pinpoint whisper-to-thunder dynamic control and expansive rhythmic and tonal textures. His lightness of touch is unusual for a drummer who plays with such intensity.
