Hudson Music Updates Its YouTube Channel

Hudson Music has recently added a lot of new videos to their YouTube channel. Most of the clips are sneak peeks at DVD released, but they are all worth a watch.

In case you didn’t know, Hudson Music has produced several of the top tier instructional DVDs out on the market today. They are AMAZINGLY well produced and feature A-list players strutting all their goods. Best of all, the DVDs are PACKED with content and resonably priced considering the amount of material you get. (For example, Thomas Lang’s Creative Control DVD clocks in at just over 5 hours, includes 2 Discs with charts, audio files, and more!)
I think these guys are at the top of the game right now and they are leading the DVD generation in instructional videos. Click more for some cool clips.

So while searching for a story for today, I stumbled across the Hudson Music Youtube channel and found a whole channel for Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials 2 DVD. This particular clip popped out to me. It's about rideless grooves and how to use them. I found it incredibly useful. Same ole Tommy. However, I noticed he's using Evans heads now where he was using Remo before. Enjoy!

The three-hour DVD is divided into two main sections. In the first ...

This is with out a doubt the finest guide to hand technique ever filmed and hence, shall be the standard to which all drum technique videos are held. It covers the entire spectrum of Jojo's hand technique arsenal. From the absolute beginning (grips, fulcrum, hand position, matched and traditional grip, etc...) to the most advanced techniques that he uses in his playing (moller, drop bounce, push pull, etc...). Jojo explains the physical and anatomical aspects ...
READ MORESometimes it can be difficult to picture our drumming heros playing outside of their "comfort zone," so to speak, so it's refreshing when they step out of themselves and let loose a bit. We're so used to Jojo Mayer being eternally precise and accurate, but in this video he's slappin' them skins Bonham style!
NOTE: Please watch this for the drumming only because, dear Lord, the vocalist is awful.

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 ...

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 ...
