- Review of Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer
What a tremedous DVD. My drum instructor uses the same methods covered by Jojo Mayer. It is most helpful to have a video and audio record of the technique and the basis for it.It makes so much sense to make use of the limbs the way described here.All involved body parts function together making for a very smooth, flowing, and musical presentation of drumming.A most excellent production.

- 5 stars not enough!
In over 27 years behind the drum kit, this is the video/resource I've missed all those years. Some of techniques taught I have already used. However, not like Jojo. I've used the finger bounce technique for years and it worked for various playing requirements. Jojo's explanation covered every aspect of the technique and allowed me to refine my version to address issues that kept me from achieving speed and control.

- At least 5 stars!
Honestly, I don't understand how anyone could rate this DVD under 5 stars. It is that thorough, that helpful, and that good! Compare the DVD's price with the price of private drum lessons, and the DVD's price is more than worth it. The purpose of my review is to insist that this product is nothing less than 5 stars.
The only thing Jojo Mayer could have done better with this DVD, is offer a full refund to unsatisfied customers. That would help with buyer confidence. Buy it!

- This gives an inspiring starting point - the rest is up to you
I might be on my own here, but I think there are some drummers like myself who, although we have been playing for years (20 years plus for me), have not had lessons or cannot afford them. Nevertheless, we are still hungry for information and inspiration. One can only listen to records for so long without wanting to see someone actually playing.
These type of instructional DVD's are shortcuts, but are the next best thing to lessons, I feel.
This DVD fulfils that educational need ... Read More
