This is the only "Hand" DVD a drummer needs., 9 Oct 2008

I was introduced to Jojo Mayer via youtube, and some quite staggering footage of demonstrations by him at conventions, so when I heard this dvd was coming out it was a must buy for me.

The best thing about this dvd is that it allows you to deconstruct your playing technique and add new techniques to your repertoire whilst not really taking away your drumming individuality in a way that some dvd's can.

Its tools, its Pink and its a great stocking filler for the lady in your life.

I wasnt Expecting This!, 8 Oct 2008

I have to admit that I only bought this album as I was being loyal to my memory of the original Sepultura line up, and the fact that I was really happy that Iggor and Max had patched things up.

So I wasnt expecting much if I'm honest, but this album is great. To me they have just taken themselves back 15 years and produced a slab of violence which really surprised me.

Unrelenting and actually quite catchy (yes catchy) in places this is a great buy.

The only minor gripes for me is firstly Max's voice can begin to grate after a while and Iggor's drumming is not as inventive or as exciting as in years gone by, but they really are only minor gripes.
