'Progressive Concepts for the modern metal drummer' is a 2-disc set dvd by Hannes Grossmann (Obscura, Blotted Science, ex-Necrophagist), available in PAL and NTSC.
This double dvd features almost four hours of material and Hannes clearly exceeded himself. He wrote, produced, filmed, edited and cut everything by himself - truly a great achievement!
Disc 1 of this dvd features chapters on hand technique, foot technique, speed & endurance. There are certain practise methods Hannes shows that will drastically increase your speed and endurance.
Hannes used and developed those methods himself during the prepartions for Necrophagist's 'Epitaph' album, for which he was able to increase his hand speed for single strokes from 200 bpm to 240 bpm within five months.
Disc 2 features phrasings and groove concepts that can be used for all kinds of music. The concepts are about the musical use of blast beats and how to use phrasings and accents from different genres, i.e. latin music, that can be integrated in blasts.
Hannes explains how to get started with odd-time signatures and how to modulate odd time phrasings, but also gives a precise insight into advanced double bass grooves and how to phrase metal fills.
Both discs feature music performances from Obscura, Ron Jarzombek and others, as well as drum solos of course.
The lessons on this dvd will be helpful for both beginners, intermediate and advanced drummers because the exercises are highly practical but also very general. So on whatever stage you're at, it will help you to increase your drum skills in an entertainning way.
