\"Mechanism definitely shows off tons of what I can do on the tubs. I\'ve been explaining this band as an example of what is probably the craziest drumming I\'ve done in my career, so why not introduce ourselves to people in a rather unorthodox way? My playing on it I suppose is reminiscent of my \'Symbolic\' era [with the band Death], with a ton more crazy time-signatures and heap-loads of blast beats. I like it alot, and I\'m proud to showcase us in such a fashion.\"

Hoglan explains that he wanted to make his release different from the regular instructional dvds:

\"I must admit, I\'m not a real watcher of instructional DVDs/tapes. I\'ve seen my share, in fact my favorite is \'Pulse\' by Akira Jimbo, but even back in the day, I never watched them religiously. They all sorta seemed the same. Killer drumming, boring guy. Deen Castronovo injected a bit of life into his, which was very cool, and that\'s what I tried to do with mine. I don\'t envision mine to be one of those \'talking head/explaining wing-wang-flam-a-doodles,\' \'cuz I\'m not very good at that. What I do envision for this to become is more of an \'instructo-doc.\'\"

Previously Gene Hoglan had stated:

\"It\'s gonna be kick-ass! Just me playin\' and preachin\' \'The Hoglan Method\' (\'The Hoglan Method\', that\'s hiliarious! \"Okay kid, ya wanna learn how to play drums? Well, first off, put down your sticks for six months, and learn to master juggling! It\'ll be great for your chops. No, really!).\"

In fact, Hoglan plays about 8-9 songs, including a bunch from Mechanism. He even gets off the \'beaten metal track\' a bit and plays a couple of tunes from some of the non-metal projects he has done, plus a couple of drum solos.

Gene Hoglan is also preparing a world clinic tour. He intends to start with about 35-40 dates in the US, then the same in Europe, then move on down to South America, Australia, and finish Japan and South Korea.
