Methods and Mechanics for Useful Musical Drumming

Great for applying Rudiments to the Drum Kit
This DVD is not for anyone who hasn't learnt their Rudiments yet. It is for Intermediate to Advanced players. Once you learn the stickings & feel for the Rudiments at speed this DVD will show you some cool ways to apply them to the Drum Kit, making it a fun way to get away from thinking that Rudiments are just for the Practice Pad & boring. If only I had this DVD years ago. However as Todd suggests he is just showing you some variations of some of the Rudiments, you should then think of any & every way to come up with your own variations moving Accents different time feels/meters etc. Todd is a funny person & a good teacher. I can easily see how it won Modern Drummer 2009 Readers Poll. In my opinion you can't go wrong buying this DVD.

Great Drum Instructional DVD that's entertaining too
Todd did a great job on this DVD. Whether you are a beginer or advanced player you will find this DVD entertaining and it will inspire you to be a better drummer. He starts of the snare drum and shows you the rudiments. Next expands the concepts and shows you how to apply them to the drumset. Then he tops it off by showing how he has applied them in his playing by demonstrating them to the songs he has played with Styx, Taylor Mills, and more. Todd is a very practical instructor and never loses sight of his goal "Methods and Mechanics for Useful Muscial Drumming".
