Summary of DVD-Levon Helm Teaches Classic Rock,Country & Blues Drumming

On this unique DVD, Levon invites you into his home studio in Woodstock, NY to share his unique ideas on drumming and to hear this born storyteller's fascinating insights into the music and lore that helped shape rock 'n' roll history. Beginners and professionals alike will benefit from Levon's approach to the drums. He covers basic concepts - shuffles, eighth-note grooves, rim shots, drum intros and fills for learning players, while more experienced drummers will be interested in the different "feels" that shape his distinctive sound. Levon's ideas about tempo, click tracks, playing half-time, drumming while singing, arranging double drums, and other techniques will add powerful new elements to your drumming style.

Levon works his way through several country blues and Band tunes, including The Weight, King Harvest, Blues Stay Away From Me, Rock and Roll Shoes, Short Fat Fanny, Up on Cripple Creek, Life is a Carnival and Hand Jive, with rare performances by The Band specifically staged for this DVD.
