* NonSingingVoice: An instrumental variation: Miles Teller is seen playing in most of the shots, and so there is no clear TalentDouble (whether or not the closeup hand shots were Teller's, they focus more on Andrew's bleeding fingers than his skill), but the drumming that we hear was recorded by studio musicians. Teller is often out of sync with the recorded track, but skillful editing makes it non-obvious.
