Tiger Bill Reviews The Next Step By Dave Weckl Picks Up Where "Back To Basics" Left Off
The Next Step, which is the follow up to Dave's Back to Basics DVD, is also a re-release of a title originally released on VHS. This DVD version includes six chapters plus bonus features that are available only on DVD. Let's see if it's worth your time and bread. Opening Time Playing Grooves Dave explains his concept of orchestrating a piece of music on the drumset including sub-divisions, accenting appropriately to backup each instrument, filling between breaks, and the importance of keeping a steady pulse on the hi-hat. Beat displacements are covered and demonstrated along with tips on when and when not to use the technique. Dave offers a practical demonstration of these concepts as he plays along with a track from his Contemporary Drummer + One album. Then, using a rhythmically and musically busy vocal track titled "Rainy Day" from the same album, Dave demonstrates how more than one groove can fit the same song. Odd Time Playing Soloing Dave also breaks down his solo patterns into separate exercises using triplets, sixteenths, and thirty second notes so you can use them as a basis for developing your own solo ideas. He then uses all of the exercises together into a practical example on the drumset. Also stressed is the importance of using dynamics and of being able to sing what you play.
