DVD Reviews of Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer DVD
DVD Review: Best Drumming Video
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my husband who is a drummer. He says it's the best drumming video he's ever found. (He has WAY too many in his collection!) He also says that if Jojo Mayer ever makes another, he would buy it also.DVD Review: Brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
This video is absolutely brilliant - incredibly clear, informative and insightful, while managing at the same time to be charming and original. (The production quality is top-notch, too.) Note that these two DVDs address hand technique only - nothing other than that - but I'm very glad I spent the money on it; it's more than worth it. Mayer very clearly explains the German vs. French vs. Traditional grips and shows the incredible power of simple techniques vs. what you might be doing if you didn't know them. Five stars without a doubt.DVD Review: Freakin awesome DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Jojo Mayer is like Jesus of hand technique, and this is one of the most important DVDs a drummer could ever purchase. That's all there really is to say about this video except maybe "BUY IT!".
While this is a must-buy for beginning and intermediate players, I think even very advanced players could learn a thing or two from Jojo's instruction, and I would suggest that they at the very least they check it out on Netflix. Jojo's goal is basically to exploit physics as much as possible in order to obtain impossibly fast hand speed. This DVD does not cover coordination technique, just stick technique- for three hours. Jojo's instruction is very clear and somewhat humorous, and the video production is not distracting. Considering the computer-generated visual aides, (I can't believe I'm saying this about a drum DVD) I would even dare to say the video production is helpful.
While there are sections in this video I would deem "filler", for all intensive practicing purposes, the sections all include relevant information for understanding the science behind the practice material. This DVD could have been formatted a little better if it had been split into "comprehension" and "practice exercises" sections. That way the viewer could watch the comprehension sections a couple times, and then play through the practice exercises without having to skip through the talking each time.
**JOJO MAYER PLEASE READ THIS PART** On a separate note, I really REALLY wish Jojo would produce a video covering (or expand this video to include) his foot technique. It's basically the same physics-based principals he uses for his stick technique, only applied to his feet in order to get mindblowing super-fast double-kicks.
DVD Review: What a master of the craft
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never seen someone who knew so much about the minor details of playing drums. This dvd has really forced me to consider many aspects of my playing without forcing me to "forget everything". I have watched it several times now and have learned things everytime. If you don't own this dvd, and you want to improve your drumming, don't hesitate to pick this one over most of the "hey, look what I can do" dvd's out there.DVD Review: Review of Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer
Summary: 5 Stars
What a tremedous DVD. My drum instructor uses the same methods covered by Jojo Mayer. It is most helpful to have a video and audio record of the technique and the basis for it. It makes so much sense to make use of the limbs the way described here. All involved body parts function together making for a very smooth, flowing, and musical presentation of drumming. A most excellent production.
