DESCRIPTION:

The Hudson Music team was on hand once again to capture all the action as the Modern Drummer Festival 2011 took place at Montclair State University in Montclair, New Jersey, and Hudson is proud to announce release of the 2-DVD festival set on November 8, 2011

In a program packed with amazing performances and insightful educational segments, Gil Sharone (Stolen Babies/Dillinger Escape Plan) expands on concepts found in his Wicked Beats DVD, Trevor Lawrence Jr. (Herbie Hancock/Dr. Dre) performs in hiphop and fusion styles (with guest percussionist Taku Hirano), jazz innovator Jeff “Tain” Watts presents an incredible set with his stellar quartet, prog/metal star Aquiles Priester performs a blistering set of songs from Hangar and Freakeys, and, finally, drum superstar Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez performs with The New World Order, an all-star world music group put together just for the festival.

In addition to the main show, also included are two enlightening master classes. Jazz legend John Riley (Vanguard Jazz Orchestra) demonstrates rhythms that can be heard from various polyrhythmic perspectives, while top country drummer Jim Riley (Rascal Flatts) demonstrates and discusses stylistic versatility and rudimental concepts.

An extensive printable PDF eBook is also included, containing transcriptions of nearly 50 detailed transcriptions of drum parts and educational ideas.

“The most rewarding thing about having had the opportunity to film the Modern Drummer Festival for so many years, and the aspects of the Festival that make it great, are the diversity of the artists who are part of it, and the fact of how receptive the audience is to all of the styles of music presented,” said Hudson Music co-president Paul Siegel. “And this year was no exception: from the reggae and ska grooves of Gil Sharone, to the incredible metal energy and control of Aquiles Priester, and from the beautiful jazz feels of Jeff "Tain" Watts to the international grooves of Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez, the Modern Drummer Festival 2011 was as exciting and as diverse as any we have filmed before.”

This DVD package presents not only a chance to relive the Modern Drummer Festival, but to study and learn the concepts presented by these great artists in depth and detail not possible just by attending the event.
