'On A Day When the Wind Is Perfect? is an uplifting affirmation of joy and beauty that the world affords every day to the eyes and heart that are opened to perceive and receive it. The poem and music describe the feeling of everything in life flowing with the ease of a boat propelled to glide effortlessly over the water by the wind that fills its sails. The work compares the human eyes and heart to the life giving sun, and the breeze that fills the sails of a boat to the inspiration that fills the soul, leading the body to ecstatic dancing and drumming. Finally, it compares the opening of the sails by the wind to the opening of the heart by love, which is always available at every moment. / Choeur SSA

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
