On September 20 and 21, drumming fans witnessed another amazing weekend of drumming and music at the world's premier drumming event, the 2008 Modern Drummer Festival Weekend. Hudson Music was on hand once again to capture all the action on this exclusive DVD set. In addition to the live performances, each artist is captured in an enlightening backstage interview. This year, Hudson paired Simon Phillilps with Gavin Harrison, Ndugu Chancler with Will Calhoun, and Todd Sucherman with Derek Roddy for amazing artist-on-artist interviews. Other artists are interviewed on an equally insightful level by Hudson Senior Drum Editor Joe Bergamini. These truly educational interviews provide invaluable information about everything from warming up to drumming tips and techniques and for the first time, the exercises and concepts discussed are transcribed in a printable 28-page PDF eBook, so you can practice along with these greats. This DVD package takes the world's greatest drumming event and adds a new level of educational value to the excitement of the great performances!

The annual MD Festival has become a world-class event over the past twenty years, and this latest set continues to raise the bar for superior production AND musicianship. There are at least four ensembles here, from intimate trios to full-blown bands. While drums are indeed heavily featured at this show, other musicians will not be bored. Simon Phillips & Protocol wrapped up the Saturday portion...good thing, because I cannot imagine any other poor band having to follow his group. Phillips is one of those rare drummers with all the jaw-dropping chops one individual could be blessed with, while possessing a musicality that beggars description! He is simply one of the best drummers on the planet, and surrounds himself with top-notch players. This one performance alone is almost worth the price of this DVD. Bill Stewart is present with his trio, as is Billy Ward. These sets are always sensory overload for me...there is SO much information here; performances, interviews, etc. For those who want blazing speed and chops, look no farther than Todd Sucherman ( Styx ): he does a phenomenal set, using a laptop for music to accompany him on two or three numbers. The biggest thing I miss with this package is the inclusion of the latest "undiscovered" drumming talent from previous years. That said, this set will keep you busy "woodshedding" for a long, long time.

This is a great video! Thomas Pridgen is frickin Rite On! I also was introduced to several new drummers that tottaly blew me away; Todd Schukerman is AWESOME!. One of my favorite drummers, Simon Phillips, is on here doing his magic front and center. Very good video with lots of examples of jazz, funk, rock, progressive rock, and speed metal (Derreck Roddy).
