Patty Schemel shares a moment with Kurt Cobain (l.) and his daughter Frances Bean in Hit So Hard.
Hit So Hard: The Life & Near Death Story of Drummer Patty Schemel is a 2011 biographical documentary film that chronicles the to-hell-and-back journey of Patty Schemel, drummer for Courtney Love’s band Hole.
Directed and co-written by P.

It also reveals the story of the drug addiction and other problems that consumed Schemel and almost took her life.
The film includes a slew of personal home video footage revealing Schemel’s life offstage with Courtney Love, »
