Customer Reviews of Steve Smith-Drumset Technique/History of the U.S. Beat DVD

Awesome. I had never realized how musical the drums could be.
I have never played the drums but I decided that I needed to learn more about drumming and complex rhythm in order to improve my songwriting. <
> <
>I had a bad opinion of drums because, face it: most drummers are incapable of playing under other instruments, have no dynamic control, don't know how to tune their kit, and think that china cymbals are for imitating the sound of an SUV crashing through a plate glass window. <
> <
>I never imagined what drums could do in the hands of a master. Steve Smith is an extraordinary musician and very gifted teacher. He has a scholarly knowlege of the history of his art, and his illustration of historical drumming styles is fascinating. <
> <
>The quality of musicianship and pedagogy on this DVD set is first rate, and I plan to get a lot of use from it as I learn the basics of drumming.

Great Book
This package is worth ever cent of your money. There is simply no greater educational DVD package out at the moment. Steve goes over technique in unbelievable detail, and his knowledge of drumset / popular music history is really interesting. I definitely recommend this package to any drumset player. This video was voted the #1 DVD in the 2003 Modern Drummer readers' poll AND was featured by Vic Firth online. You can get it a lot cheaper at http://www.steveweissmusic.com

Worth every cent
Having bought lots of so called instructional DVD's, and being disappointed with the majority of them, I was very reluctant to buy this DVD. <

>Being a rock-oriented drummer, my personal influences are far more different, so I was a little bit prejudiced towards fusion type drummers, as their main strength is their technical ability, but some of them are lacking in terms of feeling, power and passion required and unable to create a "pulse" as defined by Steve himself. <
> <
>Steve Smith is awesome and inspiring and he blew my mind away. One should not dare to criticise Steve Smith as a drummer because he definitely is one of the masters of drumming. <
> <
>I believe that intermediate and advanced drummers can really learn from this DVD and improve themselves as a result. The information given on drumset technique is a very valuable tool and it opened my eyes on some issues even after 17 years of playing. I liked the "history of the U.S beat" part very much, especially the incredible performance with the "Vital Information".
