Will you release another DVD? |

I definitely want to do another one. I think "Performance & Technique" turned out great considering that I pretty much did the whole thing by myself. After the DVD was done I presented it to Warner Bros and they agreed to distribute it. Soon after, WB Publications was bought out by Alfred Publishing so now they are the manufacturer/distributor. Anyway, I'm proud that I did it my way. I do wish that we (me and my buddy Vince at "Allie Kat Productions") had better editing equipment at that time but with my budget it was the best we could do. Today I hear horror stories from friends of mine that have done DVDs - about the director rushing them saying that a particular performance was fine and that they're on a schedule and need to move on, etc... That would be tough for me.
For my next DVD, I'm not sure that I want to do the standard solos and songs format. On the next one I plan to focus more on some of the concepts that helped me build my drumming vocabulary - concepts that I've developed over years like the "double drop". I'll start at the beginning and demonstrate how to practice these concepts and then take them to another level. I also plan to introduce some cutting edge concepts that I've been working on that I'm certain will be used in the future of metal drumming. And, maybe some things that aren't so metal in nature but with the addition of double bass they can be worked to create something new and exciting. |
