Beginning Drums - Essential Grooves, Beats, & Fills DVD.

I like it, thank you

Its hard the grade material, unless you have something to compare it to. By itself, it does serve its purpose, but lacks energy. And, if you compare it to Groove Essentials 1.0, with Tommy Igoe, the it becomes apparent that video quality could be better, does lack energy, and that the there could be much more material that isn't covered, when compared to Groove Essentials 1.0. Therefore, I would counsel even the greenest of students to seriously take a look at Groove Essentials 1.0... Sorry, Chris Taylor.

This DVD takes a person from the very beginning steps and basics to a journeyman drummer. It has been very well worth the money. A person could make a living as a drummer if they really follow the lessons.

I purchased this mostly for my wife to get some tips from it, but she's already somewhat more advanced than the lessons that was being offered by this person. too repetitive as he was trying to show the steps by steps again and again and because of that, will take him long to move on to the next step of teaching. Is good for someone, rather a child trying to "just" starting to learn how to play.

Seller shipped fast and item was delivered as described. Bought the kid drums and he is not practicing. Got the instruction DVD, still not practicing. Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Good instructional video, though.

My daughter is a musician and interested in various ways to make music. This is a great way to learn drums without the expense and travel of drum lessons.

Not bad for beginners, but only shows using matched grip instead of classical. VERY difficult to understand what the guy is saying due to poor microphone placement and sound quality. I would have rated this much higher if the quality of the sound was better.

very basic. provides a good review for someone who has played a bit (self taught) and also provides some additional plays and ideas for practice/skill building.

Excellent dvd for starter. Good practice sets to practice over and over again. Explanations are clear.Even the music notes appear on top when you practice.
