I always admired DG with Tower and this video is a great one if you like to play funk on the drums. He covers the importance of ghosting the notes and using two different stick heights during your playing. Simple, yet informative. The only thing I regret is not having listened to the CD "Code of Funk" before watching the DVD, since DG spends a great deal of time dissecting the grooves on the tunes on this CD. It would have been more fulfilling if I had the listening knowledge of hearing the tunes before they were broken down. All in all, a good DVD from a great funk drummer. Makes you feel like you are taking a lesson from him, especially towards the end of the DVD when he is sort of instructing. Well worth it if you are into funk playing. Could help rock players as well.

If your interested in funk drumming...this is the book/cd for you. It's fairly advanced material so would not be appropriate for a beginner.

I've been intrigued by David's style since the 70's....
Watching the master and learning from him is priceless.

Good stuff. It gives you things to work. And work you must to get just a few of the skills that this monster player will share.

I'm really glad David Garibaldi made another video. And I am glad that Hudson Music decided to make a video of his online lessons.

He is a great educator. Everything is well-explained. His concepts are amazing. His philosophy in drumming is profound. I am enjoying the DVD very much!
