5.0 out of 5 stars Straight-up woodshed material, July 2, 2008

This review is from: Jeff Queen Playing with Sticks (DVD)

You don't have to be interested in drum corps to benefit from this video. I've never met a drummer that didn't want better hands. Probably best for intermediate to advanced players-- I'd suggest you at least have a handle on the basic rudiments, like paradiddle variations and flam accents, first. If you are a high school line player, buy this video RIGHT NOW! You'll have lots of fun amazing your friends with your new skills.

What I like most about this video is that there is a LOT of CONTENT. Most drummers teach you 4 or 5 things and call it a video. Jeff really does a lot of teaching here, and he does it well. He also does not wax poetic about his drumming philosophy. This is straight-up woodshed material. His playing is authoritative, to say the least. Video production is also first-rate.

5.0 out of 5 stars if you want to improve your hands, this is the one, October 18, 2007

I've got several instructional drum DVDs. This one is just for the hands -- which ofcourse are crucial to drumming. Jeff starts with very basic things and gets to very advanced work. The amazing part is that you can master these rudiments and drills on one drum but then just split up your hands on a drum set and you have a masterful drum solo. Very good.
