[.ca] Getting Started on Drums

If you are getting 1 - This is it:
After a 20 year absence from drumming.. i bought a drum set.. put it together and started playing. I ordered this dvd a few weeks later. Well the first thing I did after watching him set up the drums was take apart my drums and fix what i had done wrong. As far as playing.. Ive checked hundred of web sites, downloaded lessons, and purchased 4 other DVD's to learn.. This is the best BY FAR. Several good fills, grooves to jam to.. its great. I never write reviews on stuff I get from amazon.. but had to give praise.. Buy many, you can't learn to much, but if you are just getting 1, get this one.. if you're buying many.. this is a must have. Great DVD.

impressed:
I ordered this dvd for my daughter along with her first drum kit. I dont have a point of reference because I haven't seen other dvd's on this subject but I don't believe they could make learning any more simplistic. Tommy has a laid back approach and many practice exercises encouraging you to work at your own pace. I now find myself playing the exercises on my daughter's drum kit along with her. Very informative for someone new to the drums.

Worth the money!:
I have been away from drumming for 18 years. I recently bought a new kit, and thought it would be a good idea to buy several instructional DVD's. While most of the information on this DVD is for true beginners, I still found it useful, informative and entertaining. Tommy is very personable! I recommend this DVD to anyone who needs a refresher or is thinking about getting started with a new drum kit.

Best drum intro video out there:
A perfect DVD for someone new to drums. Tommy first walks you through each piece of equipment, shows you how to arrange your drums, hold your sticks, and not make mistakes from the beginning. But the best part is the 2nd half of the video where you get to learn to play. He teaches the basic rock groove, and then some variations - and throws in some fills to make it fun. As a total beginner to the instrument, I was very surprised to see how quickly I could play along to basic songs after just watching the video. Highly recommended.
