djarrett Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 Hey, Harp! Thanks for posting in Drum Talk. I am forwarding your request to a couple of friends in the drum video biz. A couple that I am familiar with myself are: Be a DrumHead - Will Kennedy and Bob Gatzen -Warner Bros Publications Children Series - JohnnyRabb - JohnnyRabb Publications. Both are fun, educational, and suitable for your child. Let's see what the guys recommend! Thanks, DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianochris Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 Hi Harp...the videos below seem like a good place to start. However, keep your eye out for some new drum videos from Carl Fischer during the year. Currently, we are working on a Djembe drum video for beginners that should be out in two weeks!

Brenton Trott Posted April 11, 2001 Share Posted April 11, 2001 Maybe not for the very young but Dave Weckl's I think it's called' "Back to basics" is very good for beginners. he goes through grip, seating position, drumkit setup, kick pedal method, rudiments, all the basics. It did a lot for me after I had been playing for a few years already, helped me get over some bad habits I had picked up.

djarrett Posted April 19, 2001 Share Posted April 19, 2001 Hey, Harp: This message is from Ray Brych with Warner Bros. Publishing regarding your question. Dear Harp, To get a beginner started there's really no substitute for a practice pad, a pair of sticks, and weekly lessons from a human. But just to learn basics from square on "drum set", Drum Basics from The Ultimate Beginner Series from Warner Bros. is a book/CD & video set that is really good. We are currently revising and modernizing this series, soon to be released on DVD and VHS in a month or so, and will be even better. Either way, real lessons with supplemental material is best. Best of Luck! Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
