Movie Reviews of Gregg Bissonette-Musical Drumming In Different Styles
Movie Review: Probably not for everyone but still good
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to say I warmed into this DVD. There is no doubt Gregg is an outstanding musician, with a great (somewhat corny) sense of humor. At first I agreed that he presents the material so fast, that it's hard to follow for anything but an advanced drummer. An advanced drummer probably wouldn't need this DVD. But, when you play it again, there is a lot of very useful conceptual info on this DVD. I consider it less a "hit this drum, then this one, using this rhythm and tempo", than a consider "this" when playing this sort of tune. At least for me, I had to watch this DVD several times before I realized how much useful info was really there. Imagine you won an afternoon private meeting with a famous drummer (Gregg). You get to listen to his approach to drum styles and some techniques for about 4 hours. This is that DVD. Not only did I grow to realize the useful info on this DVD, I even grew to like the music (most from an album he created with his brother). I think the other reviews are fairly accurate. This DVD is probably not for everyone, but I consider it very good.
Summary of Gregg Bissonette-Musical Drumming In Different Styles
Drawing on Greggs extensive experience with a wide range of artists from Maynard Ferguson, Don Henley and Santana to Toto, Linda Ronstadt, Larry Carlton and Ringo Starr as well as his own solo projects, this educational DVD clearly defines what the often used term playing for the music really means. Throughout the over 4-hour, two-disc DVD set, Gregg stresses the importance of listening to and experiencing as many different styles as possible first hand in order to gain a full appreciation for each style. The set includes eight band tracks from Gregg's two solo albums, including small and big band jazz, funk, Afro-Cuban, samba, blues shuffle, fusion and rock styles.Music Video & Concerts DVD Video
