STEVE GADD

HUDSON MUSIC MASTER SERIES

[DVD]

Hudson’s initial “Master Series” DVD features one of the most influential drummers and musicians of all time, Steve Gadd. The DVD captures the gracious, humble, yet incredibly successful player at the peak of his career and was filmed on location at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City during the record breaking 2006 “MIssion From Gadd” tour organized by the A. Zildjian company.

The one-hour and thirty-five-minute “Master Class” session offers unprecedented view of a modern drumming icon as Steve reveals his approach to the drums and music through an open, question-and-answer format. His natural warmth, charisma and abundant drumming skills are readily apparent as he demonstrates and discusses many of the signature drum tracks he created with artists such as Simon & Garfunkel, Steeley Dan, Chick Corea, James Taylor and Eric Clapton. One of the many highlights of the performance is a self-accompanied brush solo on “Bye, Bye Blackbird”. Additional topics include applying rudiments to the drumset and playing to a click-track, odd-times, shuffles and solos in a musical context. Bonus footage includes a 20-minute Steve Gadd documentary from the 2003 American Drummers Achievement Award ceremony plus a Steve Gadd - Giovanni Hidalgo duet from 1997 Modern Drummer Festival.

DRUM BASSADORS VOLUME 1
[DVD]

Volume I shows René Creemers and Wim de Vries, both drummers and Dutchmen as "The Drumbassadors". Stylistically they combine European, African, and American grooves, sounds, and melodies in their own unique way. An essential requirement of their repertoire that it must consist of 'songs'. Melody, no matter how simple, is key.

Besides using different kinds of sticks René and Wim use their fingers, sing and rap words with only one goal in mind: to feature the drum kit as a musical instrument with unlimited possibilities. That's why this Drumbassadors DVD sounds like a global jouney rather than a drum show-off. Their musical, creative and virtuoso approach to the drumset is clearly perceptible on this DVD, therefore Volume 1 is a must for all music lovers.

The Drumbassadors run the gamut, from left to right, top to bottom, loud to soft, thick to thin, green to yellow, round to square, fast to slow, and......they do it with confidence.
