DVD Reviews of Jim Donovan's Rhythmic Foundation : Interactive African Drumming for Everyone
DVD Review: excellent teacher
Summary: 4 Stars
Jim Donovan is an excellent teacher, and the camera views (face-on and overhead, to see the hand movement on the drum) really help. The only criticism I have is that the DVD is a bit confusing to negotiate from segment to segment. DVD Review: Horrible DVD for the price
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading all of the 5 star reviews, I felt I couldn't go wrong with this DVD. I honestly have never had an instance where I am in complete disagreement with other reviews on a product....this is a first. The DVD arrived and I was so excited!I am new to djembe drumming and wanted a resource I could learn from and practice with. This DVD was NOT professionally produced! The picture quality is horrible and the way the DVD is put together does not produce a smooth flow. Be prepared to keep a remote close by because you will constantly have to switch to each section. I personally don't see where you get 2 hours of great drumming from this DVD. There are a couple of nice sections with illustrative drumming, but certainly not 2 hours worth. This was way over priced for what you get. A big disappointment for me. I can't explain why there are 18 5 star recommendations when I rate it so poorly. DVD Review: Great instruction, Great Value
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is worth every penny. I can't believe how much material is packed into it. There is detailed instruction about how to hold your djembe and how to properly strike it making a variety of sounds. There are exercises to work on your speed, dexterity, and listening skills. There are tons of rhythms to learn with great explanations and a chance to practice them with Jim and his ensemble. And if that's not enough, there is a resource section that you can access from your computer if you want even more information. This DVD will keep you busy for a long time!!DVD Review: Great DVD for beginners only
Summary: 4 Stars
I would recommend this DVD to beginners only. If you have not played in drum circles, have never picked up a drum before, or can't seem to keep a beat, then this is a good DVD for you. It will help introduce you to the fundamentals of hand drumming among many other things. If you are looking to transition from a beginner level to intermediate, I would suggest looking for a DVD that is aimed for intermediate drum players. DVD Review: Great instructional model
Summary: 5 Stars
This dvd was so helpful! He covers everything from the type of chair to use and how to comfortably sit, to how to play the drum well. I was impressed.
