This 3-disc package is unique, as no one has ever gone so deep into the foot technique, breaking it into pieces and making even the most fundamental topics interesting. After watching the first part multiple times throughout and trying to understand the almost out-of-this-world analysis on almost every aspect of hand technique, Jojo throws in even more detailed and comprehensive collection. Get it, check it out, find your own point of connection to what he is saying and start wood shedding :-)Īfter seven years of anticipation, the Swiss-born drumming master Jojo Mayer continues his "Secret Weapons" educational series with part two ? now concentrating on foot technique.
So you still get a lot of entertainment, too.Īlso great is the part on pedal history (I don't mind the advertisement in it). Still, they recognized his effort and the well-thought-out way he puts his videos and lessons together.īy the way, it has more and longer pieces of music played by Jojo and others than the video on hand technique. I suggest checking it out if you expect more than entertainment and really want to work with this educational program.Īlso I should mention that I have talked to people who do not agree with Jojos concept and did not find it very helpful. But of course, it still is you who has to put in the practice time -)īut this video helped me focus on aspects that made it clearer to me what I could or should change. It really clicked with me and I could develop exercises that helped me change my foot technique in a way I had wanted to for many years. If you want to understand more about bass drums and drums in general, this is a must!Ī very good instructional Video. and of course with nice performances in between. The DVD is not only limited to techniques but covers a variety of drum topics like positioning, history of drum pedals etc. So although this is easy to understand there are no double pedal demonstrations. But you really get an idea of what is possible.īe noted that this DVD presents all techniques in a single drums pedal and you have to apply yourself everything in the double pedal. The difficult part is to understand all the concepts described here and subsequently apply them. More specifically in bass drum technique and info there is hardly any other artist who has gathered so high-end experience and educational info and has been willing to explain it deeply to audience.Įducational value of this DVD should be 7 starts out of 5. In today's drum world there is a lot of access to unimportant information and very limited to really valuable information.
