Hudson Music is proud to announce the upcoming release (Summer of 2006) of "Playing With Sticks", by international solo snare drum champion, Jeff Queen. The DVD will feature a comprehensive approach to developing hand technique, and will work as a great companion to Queen's acclaimed book, 'The Next Level' (Mark Wessels Publications).
The approximately, four-hour DVD, will present essential hand techniques and a detailed analysis of the Moeller and Velocity strokes. Jeff demonstrates how to apply these techniques to flams, diddles, rolls, and hybrid rudiments, talks about timing, and much more. With explanations of 'The Grid' and '4-2-1', valuable information on solo construction and achieving speed, and many backsticking and stick trick ideas, this DVD is a virtual encyclopedia of snare drum techniques.
'Playing With Sticks' will also feature Jeff's incredible performance of 'Tribute', and two brand new snare drum solos.
This DVD is a 'must-have' for any serious drummer beginner or advanced!
