The movie "Rhythm Masters" is rooted in Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart's lifelong explorations of elite competition and rhythmic entrainment. Mickey, who has been one of the world's leading percussionists for six decades now, is a lifelong, obsessive sports fan. He comes by this love honestly. In 1962, at 19, he dropped out of high school to join the Air Force. "I was failing everything in school except music and Phys Ed," Hart says. Both his parents played percussion, and he'd taken lessons growing up. The Air Force was recruiting the best drummers to join the elite Blue Eagles.
