Product Info:
We are offering two hours of mind blowing performances, detailed instruction, and inspiring lectures from
someone who cares very deeply about the future of the percussion industry.
That someone is John Donovan.
Drumline Vs. Drumset is a tool any drummer can
use. Drumset players will want to explore drumline playing to hone their mechanical skills and learn new academic theories
and techniques. Drumline players will want to explore drumset playing to expand their emotional range and create new
career paths and opportunities. This DVD showcases a conflict that has been raging in John’s drumming soul since
he was first introduced to drum corps. The DVD explores various musical and performance elements, everything from extreme
rudimental drumming to heavy metal to classical musicianship.
Lecture topics on this video include: Drum Stroke
Science, Flam Patterns versus Independence, More versus Less, Benefits of Drumline, and Benefits of Drum Set.
Included
on this enhanced DVD are 109 mp3 files and 35 pdf’s. The pdf’s are sheet music for the sequenced and live
drumline music, broken down from full drumline score to individual parts. The mp3’s are virtually everything you need
to play along on drumset, snare, tenors and bass drum including: Full Drumline with and without click, Snare Drum with and
without click, Tenors with and without click, bass drums with and without click, Drumline minus Snare with and without click,
Drumline minus Tenors with and without click, Drumline minus Bass Drums with and without click and Full Production minus drumset
with and without click.
On this DVD, John Donovan exposes his well rounded Drumline training and professional drumset
expierence on not just one of the most eccentric drumset battle stations ever designed “Modern Drummer
Magazine, March 2008 – Kit Of The Month,” shredding on radical progressive original music, but he
also executes stunning performances on rudimental snare, multi-tenor and bass drum. While some of the rudimental
footage, from both the performance and compositional standpoint showcases John demonstrating discliplined modern
day musical applications of the snare, multi-tenor and bass drum, some of it, without a doubt, displays Johns quintessential
dedication to extreme corps style drumming.
