Durée: 90'. Advanced techniques and influences. "Danny discusses the influence of drumming greats Buddy Rich, Mel Lewis, Gary Chester and Airto Moreira, as well as other mentors such as John McLaughlin, Pat Metheny and Mark Egan. Through hands-on exercises, drummers will learn invaluable big band beats and advanced drum set techniques that will set them up for any style of playing. Danny takes apart a variety of Brazilian rhythms [samba, bossa nova, partido alto, etc.] and gives a fascinating lesson in counting and playing complex rhythms using the Indian syllable method. Finally, Danny is joined by bassist Mark Egan for a discussion of how a bassist and drummer work together."
