I get the sense that Drummers tend not to be very good teachers on camera. Blackwell seems to be distracted, constantly searching for words. However, you do get some pretty cool tricks from the video like the one-handed roll and some stick tricks. Have fun with it.

John is the man and this dvd shows you why. Goes through all his influences so you can explore them for yourself. Breaks down his techniques. Just plain great!

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much playing and not enough showing
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2013
Why is it that literally every drum DVD spends so much time showing the drummer jamming with their bands? Do they have no material to teach? Do they not have teaching skills? When I buy instructional DVD's I want lessons not performances. Don't waste your money on this one unless you are buying it to listen to him showing off.

This is a DVD showing you how John plays...... His grooves are good and the showmanship he developed is great but techniques and teaching them is not his forte. For teachings and techniques go to guys like Chuck Silverman, Steve Smith, G.L. Stone and Jim Chapin. For his show and grooves it's ok.

Excellent DVD with some great technique and practice tips from John. Leaves you feeling awful about his untimely death from a brain tumour at just 43. He was one of the finest behind the drums.

Sections include: Heroes and Influences, Practicing, Teachers, Building a Solo, Single-Hand Rolls, Single-Pedal Technique, Building a Groove, Shuffles, Stick Twirling and his whole performance at Modern Drummer Festival 2002.
First of all, John is an outstanding funk and R&B drummer. His performance at MD shows this. Even the music his band play is brilliant. Sometimes I just put it on to listen to the music, and of course wathcing it live is always a bonus ;~).
The actual DVD sections are pretty good, he teaches you a few excersises and licks that are really nice. Its definatly given me something to work on for a while. He also tells you about his heroes and influences (one of the main ones being his Dad) and John also plays some great grooves covering a selection of genres with bassist Baron Browne - as well as all the stuff mentioned at the top..
With 3 hours of footage plus an extra hour for the bonus disk and special features, that comes to 4 great hours of DVD! I recommend this to any drummer looking for inspiration or just some new stuff to work on. Buy Buy Buy!

For a beginner to drumming and still a library for drummers from all back ground to help with your own technique. There is always something to gain from this dvd.
