POUNDING SURF - THE ART OF SURF DRUMMING Instructional DVD is NOW AVAILABLE!!!
What started out as an instructional DVD, ended up turning into an incredible documentary of the history of surf music! A great journey for all surf music enthusiasts and I think you are going to totally dig it. Featuring Bob Colwell, Lee Kix, Tracy Longstreth and myself on drums. Tips on technique, syncopated accents, counting, facilitating the kit, speed enhancement and more. Interviews with surf music legends, Paul Johnson, Jim Pash, Ron Eglit, Richard Delvy and more. Also tons of live footage.
Here’s what Surf Guitar 101 has been saying about it:
“Overall first impression? An excellent DVD...if you are at all interested in surf musicianship, you should acquire a copy ASAP.“
“I've watched the instructional video and this is really cool! I know nothing about drumming at all, but this is a good exposure. What I liked is that the video provides not only a good introduction to how surf drumming works in and of itself, but also how it can be used in the context of a song. Dusty's section in particular gives a good sense of how drums can be used in accompaniment or counterpoint. Useful info not only for drummers, but well worth noting by all the guitarists and songwriters out there. Cool stuff! “
“Very well done. I'd recommend it to anyone that's into surf music or surfing culture, not just drummers. “
“I have now had the chance to watch this DVD in its entirety and I absolutely loved it. Whether you play the drums or not, I highly recommend it. The history of surf music alone is worth the price of admission. The DVD production is done in such a laid-back style too. Kudos to the folks at Surfdrummer for putting together a really enjoyable DVD. “
“I've had the chance to watch this video a few times now. I learned a lot from watching it, actually--not necessarily about drumming, but about some of the musicians; where they've been, what they've done, and how things came to be. It's interesting. I highly recommend getting it if you haven't done so yet. “
“Wow!!!! The DVD is absolutely incredible! I can't imagine anyone
at all into surf music not enjoying this awesome DVD. I'd rate it at
least 11 on a scale of 10. Thanks to everyone involved for this
fantastic labor-of-love.”
“This DVD is awesome, and if you’re any kind of fan of surf music I HIGHLY recommend grabbing!”
“Wow! What a video...er DVD. The whole package is really well done and informative to the whole surf culture. A real history lesson indeed. As a drummer I found myself in absolute paradise. Dusty Watson is a beast, and plays as well as kinda looks like the bastard son of Buddy Rich (anybody ever notice that?). I've been a fan of the man for years and found myself wanting to watch this cat play for hours on end. Hell I think Dusty needs his own separate DVD. “
