- Even when the director called cut on the set, Miles Teller often played the drums and didn't let himself stop until he was exhausted.
- The filming cycle of the film is only 19 days, and the entire production cycle is ten weeks (days), so hastily to be able to catch up with the registration deadline of the Sundance Film Festival.
- Dane De Haan dropped the role of Andrew in the film and was later replaced by Miles Teller.
- Miles Teller has been playing drums since he was 15 years old. During the filming process, the calluses on both hands were worn out, and the drumsticks and skeleton were stained with blood.
- In the slapped scene, J.K. Simmons and Miles Teller were doing things in the rehearsal process, but they slapped them firmly in the last shot.
- At first, Damien Chazele could not find the funds, so he could only make the film story into a short film. In 2013, the short film won the Sundance Film Festival Short Film Jury Award before receiving investment.
- The film was adapted in part based on Damien Chazerley’s real experience of joining the band in high school. He was afraid of their band teacher at the time.

It is disgusting to beautify Fletcher who, because he holds power (even if his power comes from his own talent and hard work), plays with everyone he can reach. Looking at the Fletcher Remediation Band, it’s similar to sharing with many local tyrants and entrepreneurs in the circle of friends that counts employees on the topic of leadership. His music room band is not stronger than our township enterprises because of his artistic status.

Andrew: But is there a line? You know, maybe, you go too far and you discourage the next Charlie Parker from ever becoming Charlie Parker?
Terence Fletcher: No, man no, because the next Charlie Parker would never be discouraged.

Terence Fletcher: It's good to work, huh? How 'bout, uh, Caravan? Bar 105.

[Band begins to play for a moment only to be immediately cut by Fletcher]
Terence Fletcher: That's not quite right, Connolly, um-. I'd like to try Neiman on this.
[Ryan gets up from the kit and is replaced by Andrew]

Terence Fletcher: Motherfucker! Connolly, get your ass back on the kit!
[Ryan replaces Carl on the kit]
Terence Fletcher: We will stay here for as long as it takes until one of you faggots can play in time. One, and two, and-

Terence Fletcher: Not my fucking tempo!
[to the rest of the band]
Terence Fletcher: Sorry guys, hate to put you through this. If you need to fuckin' take a dump, or get a coffee, whatever, now might be a good time because we're gonna stay here until I find a drummer who can fuckin' play in time. I apologize to the musicians. Seriously, take ten, twenty, a fuckin' hour.
[to the drummers]
Terence Fletcher: You hear me, cocksuckers? You better start shitting me perfect four-hundreds! Connolly, get your fuckin' ass back on the kit!
