This review is from: Jeff Bowders: Double Bass Drumming Workshop (DVD)

On this DVD, Jeff Bowders (the phenomenal drumming presence behind recent Paul Gilbert releases) exposes us to his balaned approach to double bass work, which eschews the old RLRL sawhorse for a method that utilizes both feet equally. It's demanding at first, at least until your non-dominant foot wakes up, but once it does, the applications of this method are pretty amazing. Besides offering plenty of exercises to help equally strenghten both feet, Bowders also demonstrates this method in several musical interludes, all of which I, for one, would like to hear on a CD. There's plenty of helpful material on this DVD, and some if requires patience, but if you stick with it, your feet (and by extension, your double-bass playing) will thank you.

This review is from: Jeff Bowders: Double Bass Drumming Workshop (DVD)

The video was ok for what it's worth. It was geared for the beginner metal crowd. There were no sections on foot technique or how to use double bass tastefuly with single bass playing. The filming was not that great either. Being a doulble bass drumming video you would think that there would be a whole lot more of his feet playing than overhead shots and above the waist. Save your money and get Dom Famularo's Pedal Control and use it in conjunction with a teacher.
