 Egomaniac September 21, 2008
Dave is a truly gifted drummer with an ego to match. He never shows how he pulls off the complex rolls and grooves he plays, but only demonstrates how to hold and manipulate the sticks. He never mentions that the traditional grip is unnatural and much more difficult to completely master. He states that the traditional grip is better for soft delicate playing, but Bill Stewart has no trouble playing soft delicate passages with the matched grip he always uses. Dave's music has no depth or soul, but is more like party or carnival music. The music is written and arranged to demonstrate his speed and chops with non stop cymbal accents. He completely lacks the feeling and emotional playing of drummers like Bill Stewart or Jack Dejohnette. These drummers are so in demand and busy making real music that they don't have the time to produce a bunch of self centered "instructional videos". Mr. Dejohnette produced one video many years ago and that was it. Dave needs to strip his drum kit down to the essentials and get in touch with the music again. Adding more cymbals, hi hats, tom toms, and bass drums does nothing to enhance the music or improve the writing.

Dave's approach to music is great, the way he managed to change his wrist/grip technique has helped me answer many of my questions. This DVD is a must have in terms of learning to play drums with less effort. He talks about seating position, drum set positioning, wrist and grip, match and traditional grips in detail, shows basic snare exercises, Moeller Technique, foot position and it has also a Freddie Gruber special appearance. Besides that, you can check out Dave's great performance with the song Tiempo de Festival which I really liked and other stage footages
Great DVD February 18, 2005

If you would like to improve your drumming technique you will love this DVD. In it Dave explains in detail wrist and finger contol, double stroke rolls and moeller techniques. He also talks about drum positioning and bass drum control. Dave's system will allow you to play with less effort taking advantage of the natural
rebound of the sticks. Highly recomended.
