Whiplash

Audio problem: When they are playing "Whiplash" it shows a hand playing piano. When the hand is going up the piano (to the right) the music goes up, then down. Going up the piano should only play higher notes. (00:18:20)

Audio problem: When Nee-man gets his first blister when practicing the drums alone, he punches and breaks his fist through the snare drum. He continues to rock on with the snare drum audible in the practice exercise soundtrack, immediately after breaking it. (01:00:00)

Steven Weitzman

Other mistake: In the final scene both at the start when Fletcher is walking on stage and in a shot during "Caravan," just after Andrew mouths FU, when Fletcher puts a hand under his jacket the shot goes forward and then immediately shows the same footage in reverse. (01:27:55 - 01:32:45)
