D was thinking of Stomp, which got to the U.S. in the mid'90s, and I was thinking of this commercial with Larry White, who is "credited as the first major drummer to use five gallon plastic buckets instead of a normal drum kit."
Flashdance is from 1983, and D and I are pretty close in age, so how those things fall on our timeline is similar. I'm sure musically inclined people have been banging on plastic buckets for as long as plastic buckets have been in existence. The cultural time marker of plastic bucket drumming feels distinctly '90s for us, while the movie is "from when there was no PG-13."
I'm not trying to be pedantic. You incited me to check my assumptions. ^_^
