Childish, and unentertaining, Dutz makes drumming boring. He uses kiddy drums (most likely paid off by a sponsor) that would never be considered for a performance. Additionally, he only plays two beats, gives no mention of reading sheet music, or the various ways of striking the drum. You'll learn more in an issue of Modern Drummer. A waste of time - a waste of money... skip it.

Perhaps useful for very young children with no musical background. The cover states "whether you are 7 or 87, the....series guarantees fun drumming for all." I think anyone over the age of 12 or so who has had a music class is school would find this too simplistic. I viewed it once in stunned silence then gave it to a local pre-school.

If you ever listened to music, you are far past the lessons in this video. This video is basic in its content that it even misses key information that would be useful for a beginner. It only covers the beat, 1, 2, 3 & 4. That is it!

It may be worth a watch if it is free, but not worth spending any money on.

If you want to learn to play the bongos and no one in your area teaches bongos this vidio will do it for you. Done inn a way that will make learning fun and easy, in no time at all you will feel confortable play with your friends around the campfire or with your church youth group, even if you are not a musian. So go for it! Dale S. Wilkey
