PRESS RELEASE

The collection of lessons from one of Modern Drummer's most popular columns showcases more than 500 drum tracks by the world's most important, influential, ...

READ MOREHola! Yeah, I know it has been a while but now I'm back!
To make up for slacking I'm doing a trio of videos to make up for lost time. The three videos come from a new series of instructional videos I discovered on Netflix. A Los Angeles based company called IMV has flooded Netflix with its line of "Behind the Player" (BTP) DVDs. They have videos for guitarists, bassists, and drummers and they feature mostly artists ...
READ MOREI've been excited to see this one for a while. I was waiting for the promised Blu-Ray version to come out so I could see if the instructional experience is that much better in HD. Alas, my patience expired when I saw it available on Netflix. I saw the preview for this DVD and thought "that guy sounds like a more progressive version of Steve Smith... and I like that." As it turns out Todd Sucherman: ...
READ MOREThis review might be a little nontraditional but you'll have to forgive me because this DVD is quite nontraditional. It's one of those most rare of animals, the drum and bass instructional video. Carter Beauford, (drummer for DMB) and Victor Wooten, (bassist for Béla Fleck and the Flecktones), decided to turn the recording session for Victor's album Yin-Yang into the foundation for an entire drum/bass instructional DVD. This isn't two separate instructional DVDs that Hudson Music ...
READ MOREIf there's any drummer who can claim they've come from the rock and roll jungle it's Matt Sorum. With seven years under his belt, he's the longest sitting Guns N' Roses drummer ever. Matt Sorum was ejected from the band by Axl Rose after he defended Slash's decision to leave. So along with Slash and former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan they formed Velvet Revolver... which is now on hiatus because their lead singer ...
READ MORECoordination & Groove is a video that is pretty much honest about its content. It's a video about coordination and groove, in that order IMO. Alan Schechner (the host) is another one of those working drummers. The kind that we'll probably end up like if we pursue the working drummer career path. Not famous, but then again... who needs fame if you have a job making music with the instrument of your choice? He's also ...
READ MORE I'm gonna be totally honest and say I had never heard of Randy Van Patten before I rented this DVD and I have a feeling you might not know who he is either. He's a working drummer with a lots of years under his belt and has drummed for lots of people in his time. In other words he's the kind of drummer we aspire to be like but didn't realize it when we ...

READ MORESign Meshuggah drummer Tomas Haake for a pro sports contract. He can't stay healthy! The Swedish band announced this month that they are cancelling several Scandinavian shows due Haake's unhealthy back and right leg. Haake was forced to sit out part of Meshuggah's tour last year due to shoulder problems. At this point, one wonders why this keeps happening. Suppose it's due to poor posture or technique? It is possible. Perhaps he's just chronically injured. ...
