The film revolves around Dani Bolton (Alexandria Shipp), an well-off girl from Brooklyn, who goes against her parents by attending Atlanta A&T University and playing in the school's renowned marching band over going to medical school.

Caught up in a series of vague internet articles about the potential its creation and release - and whether or not its original star Nick Cannon would even be a part of it - before finally arriving twelve years after its predecessor, the film is a perfunctory mess of proportions that are unfortunately expected given its relatively low-key release on basic cable, with that specific channel being VH1 nonetheless. On the other hand, Drumline: A New Beat shows exactly the kind of film the original Drumline could've been if it was written without the themes and wit that made it a film to resonate and embrace. Given its pretty thin plot and foreseeable turnout, the film made arriving to that end conclusion fun, all thanks to writing that went above and beyond. The film was a touching film that showcased exceptional marching band choreography alongside a main character whose actions and faults were because of the choices he made rather than justified by the things he lacked, such as a father figure and a stable homelife. The original Drumline was a surprising little gem, given its existence was mainly to propel Nick Cannon's career forward. Well that's my 2 cents, take it or leave it, you won't miss anything if you don't watch this movie.

This was kind of annoying, a bad character just stays bad with no consequences? One of the good things about the first movie was seeing how Nick Cannon's character went from an arrogant punk to being a team player. Also the role they had for one of the characters playing the butthole/meathead, he didn't want a girl on the line, they never resolved this, the character did not repent of his ways or get his comeuppance. There a few good moments like when the lead actress is trying to help her boyfriend get past family drama. But I guess what else is there to expect from this type of movie, originality? Also, a lot of the band music and step moves were just watered down copies of the first movie. The story was way too predictable, you knew that ANT was going to win, you knew that the white boy and black girl would get together, you knew that the gay guys crush was on the down low, etc. Nick Cannon's short reprisal of his role felt forced and fake.
The actor playing Kevin Taylor- they should have picked someone else, he just doesn't fit the role. Some of the acting was either over the top or below the bar. Overall this movie seemed a lot lighter than the first. One of the good things they did, your eyes won't be sorry you watched this movie, there is plenty of sexy eye candy for girls and boys. To start off, I do not think it was absolutely horrible, but it also wasn't very good either.
