Bobby Jarzombek.com

Performance & Technique features Jarzombek in action performing the frenzied "Peppered Cancer" and "School", as well as the Latin-flavored "So It Ain't!", highlighting Bobby's intricate double bass drum wizardry and his penchant for syncopated rhythms and odd-time signatures. Two extended drum solos and a "Live In Japan" on-stage blowout showcase Jarzombek's mastery of visual FX such as stick twirling, tosses, and backsticking, accompanied by a narrated in-depth demonstration. On the instructional side, an 11-step double bass drum workout delves into the how-to of taking two bass drum notes and applying them to sticking patterns to create a variety of rhythmic combinations for fills (soloing) and beats.
