On May 22, 2010, the Modern Drummer Festival™ returned to the
Memorial Auditorium at Montclair State University in Montclair, New
Jersey. Hudson Music was there to capture this historic event as the
world’s premier drum festival returned to the venue where it all began.
The lineup for the 2010 Festival featured world-class drumming
artists of all styles: the aggressively complex attack of progressive
star Chris Pennie (Coheed & Cambria, Dillinger Escape Plan), a
stylistically diverse set from Nashville session master Shannon Forrest
(Faith Hill, Brooks & Dunn, Rascal Flatts), the unstoppable groove
of Shawn Pelton (Saturday Night Live Band, Brecker Bros., Bruce
Springsteen) and his band House of Diablo, the cutting-edge stylings of
breakbeat/jam-band/jazz master Adam Dietch (John Scofield, Lettuce), the
amazing creativity of international drum star Benny Greb (3erGezimmeR,
Strom and Wasser, Stoppok), and the classic funk of New Orleans master
Stanton Moore (Galactic, Irma Thomas, Joss Stone) and his trio.
At the 2010 Modern Drummer Festival™, Daniel Glass (Royal Crown
Revue) and Chris Coleman (Prince) presented master classes on a separate
stage from the main festival. As an added bonus, these amazingly
educational performances are also included.
Also included is a printable PDF eBook containing transcriptions of select performances and other educational info.
This MD 2010 DVD package is jammed with both great performances and tons of educational insight for drummers of all levels!
