This informative and descriptive DVD takes you through the basics of 4- and 5-piece drum setups (and how to tune them); illustrates the grips and how to use the sticks; teaches the staff, time values, double strokes, and counting; and much more. Using patterns drawn from a wide variety of musical styles, you'll learn how to play a drum fill, an open roll, a closed roll, flams, paradiddles, and single- and double-stroke combinations as they apply to the drum set. Includes an 8-page booklet with diagrams and other useful information. Use the DVD by itself or with the optional Peter Magadini's Learn to Play the Drumset: Book 1 Book/CD pack.
