A jazz drumming master class semester of lessons
13 Feb 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I honestly believe Peter Erskine is the best high profile drum educator. So articulate! So clean and uncomplicated in his playing and musicality.
Note carefully, this is not a chops show off video! Peter's information is jazz centric, and a young drummer could be bored at times by the content. But if you want to understand jazz drumming, or like me you want to be a better jazz drummer, but can't afford to dedicate a few years to a jazz degree. Then this DVD is a step in the right direction, and a bargain for the knowledge.
My favourite section in this DVD is Peter having his own students play with his seasoned band, then they dissect the freshman players. Now this could be seen as "unfair", but to me, I saw playing similar to my own, and why it is ordinary or weak. Constructive criticism is given as to how and what to improve. This gives me hope that I'm not alone in my "ordinary-ness", yet can improve with all the info on offer.
There are some great performances, excellent clear defined usable information and illustration and there's an authenticity to this production. I can't imagine 5 private lessons, would be much better.

Peter Erskine knows........

I purchased this DVD because Peter is in the highest echelon of drummers on the scene today. I absolutely love his drumming no matter the situation!
He absolutely kicks a band into high gear when in a concert situation. Witness Diana Krall's concert DVD at the Montreal Jazz Festival or the "We Love Ella" DVD from 2007. Also, his contributions to the Big Phat Band's "XXL" CD are fantastic!
In conclusion, Peter provides much valuable information always. He is a gracious guy and deserves attention and respect. You will learn much good stuff from this DVD. Remember......time keeping is everything!
