Scenes involving Fletcher himself were shot but ended up being cut.

Though she received top billing for her performance and is the fourth cast member to be listed in the end credits, 'Melissa Benoist' has fewer than ten minutes of total screen time.

Damien Chazelle got into a car accident halfway through filming.

Dane DeHaan turned down the role of Andrew.

There are two theories on how Charlie "Yardbird" Parker actually got his name. 1) He lived "free as a bird". Or the more commonly accepted one, 2) When touring with Jay McShann, they accidentally hit a chicken (a yardbird) with their car and Parker made them stop to pick it up so he could have his landlady cook it for him.

To receive funding, writer/director Damien Chazelle filmed a large chunk of the screenplay and submitted it into festivals as a short. J.K. Simmons was cast plays the same character whereas Andrew is played by Johnny Simmons. (No relation).

The name of the dean of students on Andrew's dismissal form is Nicolas D. Harvard, the films assistant director.

Although Miles Teller has been drumming since he was 15 years old, he took additional lessons 4 hours a day, 3 days a week to prepare for the movie.

The film was shot, edited, and submitted into Sundance in ten weeks.

Nate Lang (Carl) is an accomplished drummer and trained Miles Teller on jazz style drumming.

Part of the film is based on director/writer Damien Chazelle's experience as a band student in high school. In a Q&A after a screening, Chazelle stated he was intimidated by his band instructor's presence.

The chart "Whiplash" performed in the film is of the type referred to by jazz players as a "time chart" - a piece with an unconventional time signature (in this case, 7/8). The chart's arranger - Hank Levy - is famous within jazz circles for his numerous "time chart" classics.

Andrew appears in every scene.

During the more intense practice scenes, the director wouldn't yell, "cut!" so that Miles Teller would keep drumming until he exhausted himself.

The film was shot in 19 days.

J.K. Simmons suffered two cracked ribs when Miles Teller tackled him during a scene.

The director and writer of the film, Damien Chazelle, could not get funding for the movie, so he instead turned it into a short film and submitted it into the Sundance Film Festival in 2013. The short film ended up winning the Short Film Jury Award, and he got funding soon after.

For the slapping scene, J.K. Simmons and Miles Teller filmed several takes with Simmons only miming the slap. For the final take, Simmons and Teller decided to film the scene with a real, genuine slap. This is the take that is in the film.

Miles Teller, who has played the drums since he was 15, received blisters on his hands due to the vigorous, unconventional style of jazz drumming. Some of his blood was on the drumsticks and the drum set as a result.

Although a visual double was used, all of Andrew's drumming were performed by Miles Teller himself.

J.K. Simmons has played piano in the past and had to retake lessons for his role.

The film is one of the lowest grossing movies ever to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
