The Drummer (2007)

Synopsis:
The Drummer is a 2007 Hong Kong film written and directed by Kenneth Bi. It is Kenneth Bi's second film as a director. The film was released in Hong Kong on October 11, 2007. It features the Chinese Zen drumming group U-Theatre. A Hong Kong movie that marries drumming with Triad intrigue? No one’s ever tried it before (or even thought of it, I’m 
betting), but there’s no reason why it can’t work. The Drummer is an original and stylistic cinematic feast of sight and sound. It is the first feature film to combine an engaging character-driven story with dramatic action and the stunning art of Chinese zen drumming. The film's story follows Sid, a reckless youth raised in a Hong Kong triad family, who flees to 
Taiwan upon enraging a mob boss. Hiding out in the mountains of Taiwan, he encounters and joins a group of zen drummers whose mesmerizing art, rigorous physical training, and austere way of life eventually transform him into an extraordinary young man. Sid’s independence from the triad life is profoundly challenged, however, when a twist of fate awaits him back home in Hong Kong and forces him to choose between loyalty to his family and his new found faith in himself.
