Keith Carlock - The Big Picture
[2 x DVD]
Covering a wide spectrum of technical and musical concepts and offering a fresh perspective on the state of contemporary drumming, The Big Picture: Phrasing, Improvisation, Style & Technique (Hudson Music) is an exciting, new educational DVD by acclaimed drum artist Keith Carlock.
The two-disc set features demonstrations, discussions and detailed dissections of the drummer’s spectacular timekeeping with a host of world-class musicians from mainstream pop icons Steely Dan, James Taylor and Sting to progressive fusion masters Oz Noy, Rudder and the Wayne Krantz Trio. During the course of the four-hour program, Keith displays the chops that have allowed him to take on these high-profile yet diverse playing situations—and top the Pop, Fusion, All-Around and Studio categories of the major drum magazines’ Readers Polls—while sharing the knowledge that will allow viewers to become better drummers and more complete musicians themselves.
The Big Picture was filmed in front of a live studio/master class audience that elicited insightful, in-depth answers to questions on topics such as hand, foot and finger technique; grooving, fills and soloing; and phrasing, interpretation and improvisation. Additional Q&A segments cover the rich musical background and variety of influences that were instrumental in the development of Keith’s fluid, versatile, multi-dimensional drumming style. The project’s performance highlights include an open drum solo and playing to pre-recorded Oz Noy and Rudder tracks as well as an unprecedented four-song set and clinic with Wayne Krantz (guitar) and Tim Lefebvre (bass).
The content also includes a viewable/printable, 29-page, eBook with transcriptions of many drum patterns and exercises plus an exclusive, easy to use, on-screen Video-PDF submenu; further enhancing its educational value. Other features include Hudson’s crystal-clear digital video, super-high fidelity PCM stereo audio and multiple camera angles. With its wide range of subject matter and comprehensive coverage, The Big Picture provides a thorough view of Carlock’s advanced approach to modern drumming as well as an overview of the fundamental skills that every drummer needs to play a full range of modern music.

Johnny Rabb
Best known as an authority in the acoustic drum ‘n’ bass genre, Johnny Rabb presents a detailed workshop covering his exploration and experimentation with sounds. Watch his creative use of the Meinl Drumbal cymbal range as he transfers the drums into an acoustic machine. In this unique presentation Johnny dissects and details his personal formula known as ‘ Groove Factory’ - demonstrating the ‘Free Hand’ technique, the one handed roll and how it can be used in time, to expand the possibilities of groove. This is the most profound presentation of this technique captured on film to date!
Mike Mangini
Mike Mangini is world renowned for his WFD (World’s Fastest Drummer) speed record, and talks about how he developed his speed and dexterity by studying the nature of what speed is! His extensive studies into the mechanics of the body and brain have resulted in the publication of his two volume series titled ‘Rhythm Knowledge’. In this workshop Mike explains the Rhythm Knowledge concept, defining the process of sending signals from the mind through the body to endeavour to change behaviour - behaviour that can improve both your playing and your life!
Will Kennedy
A vastly different but equally brilliant approach to his workshop, Will Kennedy looks at the emotional and spiritual side of musical expression through drumming. He talks about being ‘sensitive to the music’ and ‘supporting the song’ through the development and understanding of time and groove and unselfish expression. Will also talks about how to think outside the box and ‘dare to be different’! Famous for his years with the legendary ‘Yellowjackets’, he imparts his vast live and recording experience on an enthusiastic audience while bestowing the virtues of his incredible and unique open handed playing style.
