5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent instruction and instructor
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2005

I have never played drums but always wanted to learn. So I got a small digital drum set. I was not satisfied with the instruction video that came with it and decided to try "The Ultimate Beginner Series Drum Basics" with Sandy Gennaro instructing.

The instruction itself is clear, articulate, and each lesson builds on the next. But his professionalism and obvious passion for drumming shines through every moment and is a real inspiration. This guy has not an ounce of pretension or ego - he just REALLY loves to play the drums, is completely expert yet can easily relate to the beginner. In two weeks, I was able to play right along with everything he does in the example sessions. I also have never been able to understand how to read music for tempo and rhythm, but understood it easily when he explained it, and even understood the basics of how to read drum music!

I am a 49 year old women with no previous experience, so if I can do this I would bet that anyone can. We are all born with a sense of rhythm, and if you think you don't have one you're wrong. This guy will help you rediscover it. I am actually back online right now to see if I can find any other instructional DVDs he has done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful! Instructor's Great!

If you're a beginner, this is a DVD to get.

The instructor helps you with all the basics like the best ways to position yourself on the foot pedal, how to hit your high hats, etc. It's also great that he says, you can just start with sticks and not need a drum or even a drum pad to get started.

I'm starting with  Xbox 360 Drum Rocker Premium Drum Set the nice Xbox drum set though, it's digital so I can adjust the volume and you can play it as a reg. drum or play games... but I digress... This DVD works with my new drumset and the instructor is direct to the point. He gives how-to's and shows how to perform them in a fun easy steps. I'm glad I got this as my first instructional DVD for the drums.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed it.

After playing air drums for so many years I thought it was time to try the real thing. I didn't want anything to complicated, just something to get me started. This DVD did just that. After a initial setup and a how to hold the drum sticks lesson I was playing my first beat. There is enough information provided to keep you occupied for at least a month before you have the need for more. The only draw back is that there is not a include book or pdf file for reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really great start
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2010

There are a zillion free drum lessons on line, so why buy this one? Well, it is simple: This is like going to a real first (or maybe second) drum lesson with an instructor that you really like, who cares about you, and getting just the perfect amount of information that you can practice over and over to lay a great foundation for what's to come. I have yet to find that on the on-line versions, and having a high-quality DVD is quite handy. This is one good product for the money and it seems that it should be in ANY beginner's arsenal.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not quite up to snuff
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2020

Very dated video. Imagine looking at an old vhs tape from the 70's but on DVD. Not very much information is provided, and yes I understand "basic" IS in the title, but it's definitely not worth the $20.00 most sites are charging. It was probably one of the few resources available for beginner drummers back in the day, but today you can get so much more online in 1080p absolutely free.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great intro into drumming.
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2008

This is an easy to follow and well organized intro into learning to play the drums. I was playing along with the DVD less than an hour after I got it! However, it does leave the learner feeling like there could have been more beats introduced, and more rythyms discussed. But overall a very good way to introduce yourself to a drum kit.
