Just
as the title suggests, this DVD focuses on the advanced topics of
independence and polyrhythms, with challenging yet highly educational
clips from Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree), Steve Smith (Journey, Vital
Information), Antonio Sanchez (Pat Metheney), David Garibaldi (Tower of
Power), Derek Roddy (extreme metal master), Todd Sucherman (Styx), Randy
Black (Annihilator, Primal Fear), Chris Coleman (Chaka Khan, New Kids
on the Block), Thomas Lang (Stork, Gianna Nannini), John Riley (jazz
legend), and Phil Maturano (Afro-Cuban expert). The program is hosted by
Chris Pennie (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Coheed & Cambria), who
brings his own expertise on these topics to bear as he introduces each
artist. Bonus footage of Chris is also included.
Priced affordably and containing a wealth of previously released
material from the Hudson Music catalogue, the titles in the Ultimate
Drum Lessons series have proven to be very popular with drummers. In
response to customer comments, the clips on these new releases have been
chosen specifically for their educational/instructional content (less
concert performances and more actual lessons).
