DVD Reviews of Keith Carlock The Big Picture Phrasing, Improvisation, Style & Technique
DVD Review: Keith speaks, plays, grooves and goes beyond
Summary: 4 Stars
This double DVD set featuring Keith Carlock gives great value for money - when you live a long way away in Australia like I do, you hope when you buy something from overseas that you're getting your money's worth.
I bought the DVD as I had heard his playing with Steely Dan on record and wanted to know more about where he was coming from musically. There is something strange about seeing someone who is obviously well schooled reduced to playing very simple beats like a machine - to me it's like saying 'I can play more complicated stuff, but I choose to play simply' .
Keith then goes on (on Disc 2) to play 'more complicated stuff'. As for Keith playing the instrumental music (definitely music for certain types of musicians - it doesn't appeal to me)- I suppose the idea behind it was to show that Keith can play in both styles - simple and complicated.
He covers his set up , hand and foot technique, New Orleans influences, applying jazz technique to groove based music, his drumline background and its influences on his playing, how he thinks in phrases, his interesting foot techniques with the hi hat pedal (which I particularly liked) and many other topics.
Overall, in terms of sound and approach, to me he comes across as a looser, jazz influenced John Bonham.
These DVD's are advertisements for the musicians as well - not merely educational. It's good marketing.
Keith also comes across very well and I must say that I am glad to see how many drummers on these instructional DVD's are well spoken, considering the potential worldwide audience.
They further the cause and perception of drummers being seen as musicians which, of course, they are.
I have a gripe about the DVD though, similar to other Hudson Music DVD's - THERE ARE NO SUBTITLES.
I don't need them personally - Hudson, why not increase the amount of people who can benefit from this material?
Make a difference and include them, as you're probably making a good deal of money from these DVD's - some of it mine.
