Following on from the concepts that Gavin started in his award winning books Rhythmic Illusions & Rhythmic Perspectives. The new DVD Rhythmic Horizons is a mind expanding video that will show further how to manipulate rhythm to create certain feels and effects without the need for 'chops' or fast technique. It features new adventurous concepts in rhythmic structure and creative ideas for drumset composition.
If, like many drummers, you've spent hundreds (or thousands) of hours getting your limbs super fast by practising rudiments on a practice kit - and then you get on your gig/session and have no creative ideas - this is the DVD for you. It's designed to get you out of a rut and inspire new ideas that you can apply to your drumming in your style.
Musically useful exercises that are demonstrated in 5 full length piece of varying style. You can easily see the direct link between the examples and their practical use in a musical setting. This is a method to improve your sense of rhythm - from the ground up.
