Randy Black is synonymous with extreme metal
drumming and with many years of performance and teaching experience
behind him, the master is releasing this 2 DVD pack so that anyone can
benefit from his wealth of knowledge.
"What started out as a plan to record a few songs in pro quality
for promotional purposes ended up being this double DVD, filmed and
recorded at Monongo Studios in Berlin, Germany. When I approached ROAX
films about it they suggested I do a full-fledged instructional DVD. It
was not my original plan but after thinking it over and coming up with a
concept I thought I'd give it a shot.
It also had to do with the fact that I'd been teaching for quite a
few years and knew I had something to offer to a wide variety of levels
of players. I hope you can take something from these DVDs and apply it
to your playing in your own personal way.
With today's recording methods it's very common that certain
programs/software are used to improve or fix someone's playing; it's
standard procedure. I wanted this DVD to be "old school" in the sense
that there was not one note I played that was moved or quantized. Nor
were there any samples used. I wanted the listener/viewer to hear and
see how I play naturally and how the drum kit sounds acoustically. Every
single drum note you hear played on this DVD was played by yours truly,
from start to finish"
