"Birdman," the awards season juggernaut with nine Academy Awards nominations, has an easily recognizable and entrancing drum score. Imagine hearing that score live during a screening of the film. That’s what composer Antonio Sanchez does at the ACE Theater in Los Angeles.

Hear from Sanchez and star Michael Keaton about this technique in the video below.
