Drummer Wanted

An Introduction To Creative Metal Drumming-Randy Black is synonymous with extreme metal drumming and with many years of performance and teaching experience behind him the master is releasing this 2 DVD pack so that anyone can benefit from his wealth ofknowledge. 'What started out as a plan to record a few songs in pro quality for promotional purposes ended up being this double DVD filmed and recorded at Monongo Studios in Berlin Germany. When I approached ROAXfilms about it they suggested I do a full-fledged instructional DVD. It was not my original plan but after thinking it over and coming up with a concept I thought I'd give it a shot. It also had to do with thefact that I'd been teaching for quite a few years and knew I had something to offer to a wide variety of levels of players. I hope you can take something from these DVDs and apply it to your playing in your own personal way. With today's recording methods it's very common that certain programs/software are used to improve or fix someone's playing; it's standard procedure. I wanted this DVD to be 'old school' in the sense that there was not onenote I played that was moved or quantized. Nor were there any samples used. I wanted the listener/viewer to hear and see how I play naturally and how the drum kit sounds acoustically. Every single drum note you hear played on thisDVD was played by yours truly from start to finish' - Randy Black Disk 1 Includes: Basic rudiments on the practice pad Advice toyoung drummers Hand grip and technique Stretching and stick tricks Applying various rudiments on the kit Hi-hat foot technique Independence exercises/moving accents Various fills and rhythms from Randy's recordings Crossovers Applying different styles to metal music Tools
