Ultimate Beginner Series - Drum Basics

Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Helpful! Instructor's Great!
Comment: If you're a beginner, this is a DVD to get.

The instructor helps you with all the basics like the best ways to position yourself on the foot pedal, how to hit your high hats, etc. It's also great that he says, you can just start with sticks and not need a drum or even a drum pad to get started.

I'm starting with Xbox 360 Drum Rocker Premium Drum Setthe nice Xbox drum set though, it's digital so I can adjust the volume and you can play it as a reg. drum or play games... but I digress... This DVD works with my new drumset and the instructor is direct to the point. He gives how-to's and shows how to perform them in a fun easy steps. I'm glad I got this as my first instructional DVD for the drums.

Summary: Great intro into drumming.
Comment: This is an easy to follow and well organized intro into learning to play the drums. I was playing along with the DVD less than an hour after I got it! However, it does leave the learner feeling like there could have been more beats introduced, and more rythyms discussed. But overall a very good way to introduce yourself to a drum kit.

Summary: Great drumming learning tool!
Comment: As previous reviewers stated, very clear step by step instructions.
Very informative for the beginners and unlike other learning tools not boring at all - fun to learn! I could play the first bit he explains just in a few hours. If you want to learn how to play drums, buy it, you will not regret this.

Summary: Nice
Comment: I really like this, I started drumming that day and could do it with clear understanding. He also goes through the video slow and precise so that the beginner can undersand a lot about drums, not only where to hit and when. I wish it were longer but I will try to find more in this series. I also bought 2 others that are not nearly as informational as this video.
