=Video summary=
This documentary tells the detailed story of how [[Stewart Copeland]]'s composition [[Gamelan D'Drum]] for Dallas based percussion group [[D'Drum]] was conceived, rehearsed, recorded and eventually performed under almost dramatic circumstances on [[2011-02-05]].

After [[D'Drum]] performed for the donors at the Dallas Symphony Gala on [[2007-06-12]] Fred Bronstein (president of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra) told them he wanted to have a commission created for [[D'Drum]] to perform a new composition with the orchestra. The money for this was raised from private donations right afterwards. Finding a composer was up to [[D'Drum]].  Schirmer Publishing in New York and [[D'Drum]] both thought of [[Stewart Copeland]], although he was just touring with [[The Police]].

Stewart began working with [[D'Drum]] right after the end of the reunion tour. The movie shows videos that were already shot during their first meetings in September [[2008]]. They continued to film the rehearsals / recording in March [[2009]], recording in May [[2010]] and finally the rehearsals and the concert with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra in February [[2011]]. In between these sessions Stewart would constantly refine his pre-recorded synth score until the finalised version emerged.

A kickstarter project starting on [[2013-09-02]] raised $95.142 so that a documentary about the genesis of that project could be created. 

Director John Bryant then shot additional location footage in Texas and interviews with the artists - including [[Stewart Copeland]] at his [[Sacred Grove]] studio on [[2014-01-14]]. Additional material comes from private videos shot by [[D'Drum]] members.

The movie premiered at the Angelika Film Center in Dallas, TX, USA on [[2015-04-16]] and was shown again on [[2015-04-18]] - both screenings featured a Q&A with [[Stewart Copeland]] and [[D'Drum]] members.
