Movie Reviews of Benny Greb The Language of Drumming
Movie Review: Very good, After Jojo DVD this is the one to buy
Summary: 5 Stars
You probably bought the Jojo mayer DVD, and you ask yourself what next.
Well Benny DVD is the next thing :) ,( avoid Todd DVD (not so good, doesn't teach anything ..).
In This DVD (which is beautifully edited,produced, photographed (and again photographed )) you will learn new language, new concept, this DVD is definitely not for beginners, as they could get confused.
Benny, first a great drummer, and a great person, explain every thing very clearly, you can actually feel that you are sitting with a teacher in beautiful scenic places , in a VERY good drum class. Not like many DVD that doesn't teach you anything.
the first DVD is one hour of full material that has to be learnt slowly and practiced.
The second DVD is more of tips and tricks and other stuff that usually, in most DVDs that I saw until today, doesn't show anything interesting, even in this DVD Benny manage to show some nice tricks , that can really help.
As said before this DVD is filmed in amazing places, it is even nice to look at it if you are not in the drum biz.
VERY GOOD JOB!!
Summary of Benny Greb The Language of Drumming
A revolutionary addition to drum education, this DVD presents the method created and used by internationally-acclaimed drummer Benny Greb to develop his awe-inspiring creativity, musicality and technique. From the overture and opening credits to the movie-within-a-movie menu, viewers of The Language Of Drumming will immediately sense that even though they re watching a drumming DVD they may well be seeing the beginning of a new era in music education. Beyond its amazingly clever concepts, beautiful sets and Academy-award worthy production values, this groundbreaking two-disc set also presents extraordinary European drummer Benny Greb and his advanced approach to making music that raises the art of drumming to an entirely new level. As Greb explains in his initial on-camera comments, learning to play the drums is like learning to speak a language. Greb makes the point that knowing a few basic drum beats and fills is like knowing only a few standard phrases in a language; they won t allow you to communicate clearly or have a full, interactive conversation in practical situations. Greb s carefully thought-through solution and a quantum leap in drum education is to learn the language of drumming by starting with its smallest components: the individual letters of the rhythmic alphabet. Greb then introduces his revolutionary 24-character system and shows how to use the basic binary and ternary rhythms to develop timing, technique, dynamic control and speed... even the traditional drum rudiments. Covering hands and feet, with and without a practice pad, he quickly progresses from simple alphabetical exercises to more intricate examples of words (rhythmic phrases) and syntax (sentences and vocabulary) on the full drumset. The second disc goes on to include a vast amount of additional information, from practical discussions about the importance of listening, building fills and solos using standard improvisational forms, and developing better time and expanding rhythmic comfort zones through creative use of a metronome to somewhat more esoteric examples of finding new and alternative sounds on the drumset. Throughout the entire presentation, Greb flawlessly performs exercises and patterns that illustrate his theories while referring to the comprehensive archive of printable PDF charts and exercises that are included on the discs. The double-DVD also features several drum solos as well as Greb s performances with master percussionist Pete Lockett and the Benny Greb Brass Band plus a wealth of bonus material and is recommended for all drummers (from beginners to professionals) and drum teachers. Also includes a comprehensive archive of printable PDF charts and exercises, additional drum solos, performances with percussionist Pete Lockett and the Benny Greb Brass Band, a full size poster, and more.Educational DVD Video
