DVD Reviews of Ginger Baker: Master Drum Technique
DVD Review: A Must Have Disc For All Drummers!
Summary: 5 Stars
I may be a little biased as I have been a fan of Ginger Baker since his days in Cream and he was my inspiration when I first started to play so many years ago. This video really breaks down his style of playing and is a real revelation for players that have tried to copy his style by watching his concert videos or listening to his recordings. When taken in it's components his style is heavily based on the rudiments. This shouldn't have surprised me as in the "Goodbye Cream" concert DVD he mentions this in his interview segment but here it's broken down in lesson format and explained in great detail. He takes basic rudiments and breaks them up over the various components of his his kit making something that's usually very dry and boring sound really fantastic. He really is a good teacher. I have to confess that after high school I never used the rudiments much in my drum kit playing but Ginger really makes you realize the importance of this even to the modern drummer.
I was always impressed with the way Ginger kept his hi-hat going when both his hands and right foot are busy playing complex rhythms. He really is a true ambidextrous player and you get to see that in great detail here. I was also impressed by the fact that he plays different time signatures on his 2 bass drums at the same time. Not your average double bass player. He is the master. I also like how his left foot constantly moves back and forth from the hi-hat pedal to the left bass drum pedal and he does it all seamlessly. You'll never see his playing style better illustrated then it is on this DVD and it puts it in your grasp with enough practice. It's also worth mentioning that the special features new to this DVD edition are the slow-mo/loop section for every lesson on the DVD. This is an indispensable feature for learning these lessons.
If I had any negative to say that would be that the new introduction recorded for this DVD edition by Hot Licks founder Arlen Roth mentions that a booklet that contains all the lessons are included with the DVD. I purchased a new sealed copy and mine did not come with this booklet.
In conclusion I'd simply say the same thing the back of the case for this DVD does, "A must have disc for all drummers!"
