OMG I almost forgot about those Shreds vids! About Whiplash, though, the thing about movies like this is that musicians were going to hate on it no matter how "realistic" it was. This is not a movie for snobs and nitpickers of technical details, it's a movie that uses a fictional music school setting to tell a good story about obsession on the part of both a student and his teacher, and how destructive it can be. Fletcher is obviously a manipulative, abusive jerk, but Neiman is also a horrible person, and actually chooses to be so, showing his family disrespect, ditching his girlfriend as an abstraction, and deliberately buying into Fletcher's worldview, almost like Anakin Skywalker choosing to follow Palpatine. He deliberately lets Fletcher help him ruin his life for the dream of being the greatest drummer. It is pretty funny that he admires Buddy Rich, who was a top notch asshat in real life, as abusive as Fletcher and an opinionated jerk to boot. Anyway, it's not a movie for musicians. Nobody cares what musicians think. It's a movie for people who love good storytelling.
