Survival

From repertoire to accompaniment patterns to licks, this book is fully stocked to give you the confidence knowing you can 'get by' and survive, regardless of the situation. The book covers: songs and set lists; gear; rhythm riffs in styles from blues to funk to rock to metal; lead licks in blues, country, jazz & rock styles; transposition and more. The CD features 99 demonstration tracks, and the book includes standard notation and tab.

In this DVD Dave explains and demonstrates how to practice to develop the most out of your playing. All 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 video. The musicians featured include Buzz Feiten, Brandon Fields, Tom Kennedy, Jay Oliver, Ernie Watts and Steve Weingart.
The Video will allow you to see and hear Dave explain and demonstrate warm-ups, hands and feet development, independence practice and Swiss triplet playing. The section on time and motion studies will open your eyes and ears to a new way of building time into all of your playing. After covering ear protection, Dave describes and demonstrates the difference between survival practice, which helps you become a great supportive drummer, and Advancement of the Art practice, which helps you stretch the limits of the instrument.
