Alan Schechner : Drums Coordination & Groove

Reviews:

"I really dig Alan's DVD. His 'Transformations' concept is killer......and the best things about this 4-way independence concept is that he uses basic beats as the foundation."

..Bobby Jarzombek (Halford, Sebastian Bach, Iced Earth)

There are few amazing drummers out there who can teach at the same high level as their drumming ability. Alan Schechner is one of those rare people who can do that. What I love about Coordination and Groove is how Alan breaks down some very difficult patterns so even a bonehead like myself can figure them out. When I was working on learning Steve Vai's material, Alan would help me by breaking it down and writing it out in a way that I could understand. What he does on Coordination and Groove is just that, as well as visually being able to see how he does it. If you are serious about drumming, you need to have this DVD!!!

...Jeremy Colson (Steve Vai, Marty Friedman, Micheal Schenker, etc.)

Whether you're a beginner, an intermediate, or a professional, Coordination & Groove is sure to improve your drumming! This DVD shows you how to develop basic beats into myriad rhythms and melodies spanning all kinds of music. The multiple camera angles enable you to see important techniques that Alan uses for both the hands and the feet. Applying these techniques dramatically improved my dexterity as a drummer. The beats are written out and a password is provided to download the notation for future reference, or you can simply play along with the DVD. Most importantly, Alan exhibits a skill and an enthusiasm for the drums that will inspire you to reach a higher level of musicianship. His mastery of the instrument is unquestionable.
