Great drummer, average teacher
|
In looking for drum technique DVDs, I look for DVDs where the drummer teaches you clearly what he is demonstrating on the set. John is a fantastic drummer. However, the "teaching" side of the DVD is weak. This is true particularly compared to the gold standard of teaching DVDs like Steve Smith's and even Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials. John doesn't slow down much of what he is doing, so whatever you pick up will be a full speed. So, it is better if you are a highly advanced, professional level drummer.
That said, watching this DVD I picked up some amazing things to imitate -- his amazing ambidexterity with the high hat; why play it with the right hand when it's on the left side of your set -- just play mainly with the left hand. Also the single handed roll and bass techniques are amazing and advanced.
Buy it only if you are an advanced drummer. |
