New Orleans Drumming

Product Description

Formally a three-video boxed set now available in one DVD featuring over two hours of footage from the original programs which include: Johnny Vidacovich/Street Beats: Modern Applications * Herlin Riley/Ragtime and Beyond: Evolution of a Style * Earl Palmer and Herman Ernest/From R&B to Funk. Johnny covers parade beats and street beats and applying them as grooves to the kit. His playing blends New Orleans parade beats with funk, reggae with second line, and Dixieland with modern jazz. The great band performances on this video feature some of New Orleans' best musicians. Herlin with Wynton Marsalis, explores the history of the drum set as it relates to the development of jazz drumming, from ragtime to modern jazz. Beginning with military styles and moving through ragtime to jazz, he focuses on the most important features of each style. Earl demonstrates the R&B style helped create which includes shuffles, second line-influenced grooves and rock 'n' roll. Herman performs several tunes that reflect the rich, unique character of New Orleans funk. Both styles feature performances with a band.

Customer Reviews:

Herlin Riley's A Gem !.......2006-09-29

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.
