DRUMMING DVD/VIDEO REVIEWS

	Thirty Days to Better Hands Featuring Johnny Rabb CHOP-A-HOLICS here’s your fix! This video was shot with the “no frills” approach. Very refreshing. The content was “dead on” and the exercises are solid. This is a great course in getting your CRE (Control, Relaxation & Endurance) up to speed. Not to mention that this was probably the most hilarious drum DVD I’ve ever watched. Practicing is supposed to be fun and Johnny will keep you entertained while hitting you with great practice material. Two thumbs up! For more info visit: JohnnyRabb.com or the WFD Website
	One Handed Drum Roll Featuring Jared Falk Well, there is a novelty for nearly everything these days. Johnny Rabb explored this topic in his release "the Freehand Technique" a few years ago. If you don’t know how to do a one-handed drum roll, here’s your chance. I give Jared credit for his ambitious voyage into the world of instructional video, but I would have liked to see a little more solidity in his playing. The goal of this video is to teach the one-handed technique and that it did. Will there be a level two for the advanced one-handed technique students? :)    For more info visit: One Handed Drum Roll DVD
	Jazz Drumming Featuring Jared Falk This seems to be Jared’s sophomore video with much better production techniques, lighting and playing than the previous video. Jared has definitely worked on his feel and phrasing but it still feels a little stiff. For the absolute beginner interested in Jazz basics, this video is a good start. I would have liked to see a bit more discussion on the fundamentals of feel, pulse and tone. I look forward to seeing the next installment in the Jared Falk series.

	Latin Jazz Grooves Featuring Victor Mendoza Outstanding! I was under the impression that this was going to be a Latin Jazz Vibraphone lesson, but instead it was a great total Latin Jazz PERCUSSION lesson. Victor covered many historical aspects of this music and explained in vibrant detail the form and function of the clave. He also demonstrated the role and patterns of the Conga, Cowbell and Timbale players in this exciting music. Victor is such a great musician and teacher. I was fortunate enough to study with Victor at Berklee and that experience helped shape my musical ear. I highly recommend this video to drummers looking to expand their vocabulary and ears.
