4.0 out of 5 stars Herlin Riley's A Gem !, September 28, 2006

This review is from: New Orleans Drumming (DVD)

Herlin Riley gives a great performance and instruction in the old style of playing, and leads up to the newer styles. Highly recommended..

Nicholas Payton is on trumpet but seems to be having a bad day, as does the piano player who hits clams on "High Society". The trio plays better on "Oh Didn't He Ramble". However the focus is on the drumming and thats what counts.

Johnny Vidacovich gives a fine performance and instruction as well.

I have not gotten to the last two drummers ( Earl Palmer and Herman Ernest) but would recommend the DVD on just the first two gents alone.

If you want to learn New Orleans style drumming, this is the best DVD I have seen so far. The companion book to this DVD is very good and highly recommended as well.

This review is from: New Orleans Drumming (DVD)

Among the mysteries revealed in this smoothly-produced, well-balanced set of interviews and performances is how New Orleans drumming gets you and your feet to the dance floor. It's called syncopation. And you can watch each of these drummers produce it. Close up.

This is a sleeper, imho. It's entertaining in the broadest sense.
