Independent artist Cam Forrester explores the career of legendary drummer Maureen 'Moe' Tucker; focusing on the origins of her unique style of playing, it’s development over the course of her time with The Velvet Underground, and the influence her sound has had on music over the years since the groundbreaking band were in their prime.
Included are several demonstration scenes performed on Forrester's own vintage drum kit, which is set up in the same fashion as Moe's kits were back in the 60's, plus rare footage, and photos of her and the band through the years.
