To inquire about arranging a screening in your area,
He is an engineer, musician, and dedicated Durham Bike Co-op volunteer. Four years ago, Dave Zielinski gave up cars
and embarked upon the self-described "all bicycle lifestyle." Backpack Drumset explores how life on two wheels,
even as a drummer with a kick drum, snare, and more, to transport, is not only possible but a joyful end in itself.
The documentary, 12.5 minutes long, features footage and songs from Dave's band, All Your Science, where
he not only plays but masters the Backpack Drumset.
8/6/08: Excerpt from the Independent Weekly's "Our Picks" section:
“Durham filmmaker Eleni Vlachos' new documentary Backpack Drumset is only 12 and a half minutes long, but it manages to cover
acres of territory. The film, a sequence of conversational clips and music-making montages...focuses on the local musician's
adoption of the "all bicycle lifestyle" and the transportation problems that lifestyle poses...With an amazing creative spark,
David Z [transformed his drumset] into a smaller, more manageable kit that fits snuggly in a backpack...Vlachos' documentary
illustrates the struggles and successes of maintaining an eco-friendly lifestyle as a musician.” —Kathy Justice
