The Next Step

In The Next Step, the highly acclaimed jazz fusion drummer Dave Weckl concentrates his drum instruction on time playing, constructing a groove, beat displacement, cymbal technique, phrasing, creating a drum part, playing in odd times, and soloing. This instructional DVD also features three performances of songs from the book Contemporary Drummer + One, plus a Latin groove and some fantastic solos. The DVD's special features include bonus video performances by Dave Weckl and Walfredo de los Reyes Sr., guest performances by Steve Smith (of Journey) and Chad Smith (of the Red Hot Chili Peppers), a complete Dave Weckl catalog preview, and printable educational materials.
