Natural

Joe Morello is one of the most important drummers in jazz-and here's your chance to learn directly from him! Joe demonstrates roll techniques, matched grip and traditional stick positions, sounds on the drumhead, cross sticking, tuning, and much more, all using natural body movement. Plus great vintage footage of Joe in action with the Dave Brubeck Quintet!

In this DVD Dave explains and demonstrates his natural approach to the drums. All of the topics discussed are explained and demonstrated on the drum pad and then on the drum set. Lastly, they are brought to life with exciting live recordings of the Dave Weckl Band and a special acoustic group put together for this DVD. The musicians featured include Buzz Feiten, Brandon Fields, Tom Kennedy, Jay Oliver, Ernie Watts and Steve Weingart.
The DVD will allow you see and hear Dave explain and demonstrate his new concepts of stick grip which leads to the contrast of his older tight into the kit approach as compared to his new flowing, powerful out the kit approach. He covers wrist technique, finger technique, and the rebound approach for both hands and feet. Stick choice and proper set up for flowing stress free playing are also covered. This DVD includes a cameo appearance by Fredie Gruber who explains some of the basics of technique that are cornerstones of Dave's playing.
