5.0 out of 5 stars About time for the Rock Drummers to get a solo DVD!, February 12, 2008

Carmine Appice was the perfect choice as a host for this collection of rock drum solo clips. He adds the right amount of background, stories, and respect for nearly all of the drummers featured here. He was there when most of these guys got started or made it big. As a rock drummer and a fan of classic rock, this was worth the wait. Some may have seen these clips on YouTube - get this DVD so you can watch them any time, and with much greater clarity. I hadn't seen the clip with Ian Paice before, and I thought I'd seen them all. The Carl Palmer solo is just incredible, and it's from the early days of ELP, when he played a Gretsch round badge kit. The interview with Ginger Baker is hilarious; the solo by Jethro Tull drummer Clive Bunker may be the best thing on the disc, and that's including Neil Peart's mesmerizing solo from 2004. Bring on Volume II!

This review is from: Classic Rock Drum Solos DVD (DVD)

Vinnie Appice has gathered an impressive and unbelievable collection of archive drum solo performances. The disk includes what is possibly the only filmed solo by Keith Moon, a clip of Iron Butterfly's Ron Bushy from an old German TV show, a British TV interview with Ginger Baker when he was with Cream, a black & white clip of The Ventures playing "Wipeout" at a concert in Japan, a clip of himself playing with Lesley West on the old 1970's "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert" TV show and more. He even includes the Santana/Michael Shrieve segment from the Woodstock movie. Something that I assumed would have been contractually impossible. He also includes lesser-known drummers like Jethro Tull's Clive Bunker and the late Cozy Powell. Appice knew most of these artists, including the great Sandy Nelson, and introduces each clip while sharing a personal story about his acquaintances. This DVD is so well done that it is not only a must-have for any percussion enthusiast, college music departments should add it to their film collections.

Finally I have received this DVD and I think is a MUST for every kind of drummer,this DVD hosted by Carnine Appice is a classic example of what every drummer would like to see............ to learn everything !!!
Classic and cool rock drum solos by wonderful artists: Ginger Backer,Danny

For me the greatest solos are by two legendary Heroes of the drumming:
DON BREWER (Grand Funk Railroad) and STEVE SMITH (Jurney),however this is a great DVD !!!
Thank you Hudson Music and Producers Siegel,Wallis and Klauber.
