Saturday & Sunday

A few parts that shine on this DVD but overall it didn't do much for me. I'm more of a song drummer and I enjoy seeing drummers playing in the context of a band/ensemble rather than alone.Ronald Bruner Jr: He definitely has some virtuostic technique. I wasn't crazy about his overall approach to playing along w/tracks. I know he's played w/Kenny Garrett. Would like to see what he can do in that setting.Jason McGerr: My favorite part. He starts with just a snare drum and adds in the rest of the kit as his tech brings it out. He's got a nice groove and a great sounding ludwig kit. Even still, I'd rather see him play with his band, Death Cab for Cutie.R&B Gospel Summit: Teddy Campbell and Marvin McQuitty are good players and it's cool to watch them navigate their tunes. Aaron Spears plays way over the barline. These guys are going for big fills most of the time. I think that can be cool when done sparingly. In this case, it's a little too much icing on the cake, at least for me. I'm aware that with the advent of 'backing tracks' in live settings, that this kind of playing is becoming the norm for live R&B/Gospel.Glenn Kotche: Cool if you like multi-percussion. My fav part is when he plays a Wilco tune.Thomas Lang is doing his Thomas Lang thing. Big kit, lots of independence, and technique. If you're into him, I think you'll enjoy. Luis Conte joins him on latin percussion but I didn't think they had a strong musical connection. Thomas' interview w/Steve Smith is cool.Stewart Copeland: This was the other part I liked. It's good to see him playing with his side project, a band from Italy. He's still a bruiser and his playing is exciting in this setting.If you really like watching these MD festivals you may have a better experience than I did. I'm just at the point, after having seen so many of these, that I get more out of listening to music, rather than watching drummers.

Always great to hear the synergy of when great musicians work together to create music! This event is no exception. I'm a bit biased to this particular product because it features some rare footage of the late Marvin McQuitty Jr., one of the most underrated brilliant drummers of our time. He will be greatly missed by those who have had the privilege of knowing him, or those who had the privilege of seeing him live in performance.

Something for everyone here in the drumming community, Stewart copland lays it down and has fun, Dicenso is awesome and Danny Seraphine is great to see back in action after all these years, Glen Kotche is very creative and the R'n'B Drummers are fun to watch and steal a few ideas from. As with all Modern Drummer Festivals it's inspiring stuff.

It might be an "06" dvd, but the drumming is fantastic. There are lots of good pointers and being self taught this gave me a lot of newthings to try. Very enjoyable.

There are some amazing, fantastic performances on the Saturday DVD. The section featuring Thomas lang and Luis Conte is absolutely breathtaking!The recording quality is wonderful too! A ton of drummer goodies here!

Excellent range in styles performed (moreso than the previous ones). The quality of footage is awesome and I would highly recommend this to any drummer of any ability, however the intermediate to advanced drummers would benefit more from this video. Buy it here, because Modern Drummer charges more for it.

one of the best festivals of all time. nuff said

This Modern Drummer Festival package delivered far beyond my expectations. Not only does it have an amzing amount of content but it is marked down from $60 to $15
