Genre: Training, Drummers Guide
The recently launched by Thames / Thompson DVD "Not For The Pro's" is intended to improve the situation and, in our view, correct it with a vengeance, becoming a kind of triumph of justice for Ian. This work is so comprehensively covers various aspects of the impact of skill that after reviewing it can only shrug - to add to what they see like it is nothing.
The disc name can be translated as "not for professionals." Personally, I find it hard to judge how DVD will be of interest to specialists, but I am convinced of one thing: a number of completely unique shooting may serve this master class, even for trained musicians.
So, about the content. The introductory part - a 50-minute story of Ian Pace on manufacturing components Drum Kit - cymbals, sticks, drums of all shapes and sizes. Very educational film in the style of the channel "Discovery". Before seeing the film, I could imagine about the manufacturing process except drumsticks, but a report from the factory was a revelation to me.
Ian further demonstrates some features of the installation of equipment and features several playing techniques for beginning drummers and by giving its recommendations.
A separate chapter - an autobiographical story, accompanied by good visuals, including previously unknown footage from concerts third of Deep Purple and performances in the Sydney 1984 year.
Separately presented gourmet jams, recorded at Abbey Road Studios with Colin Hodgkinson (Colin Hodgkinson) and Miller Anderson (Miller Anderson).
Are interesting interview technicians Pace, and - the main highlight of the disc - shooting concerts last rounds, more precisely, the American tour in 2001. The uniqueness of these records lies in the fact that we show the shooting with one camera aimed at Ian. Thus, you can watch the work of Pace at runtime known hits Deep Purple, ie at the closest distance to see details that are normally hidden from the audience. Imprinted on the set as well, and two emergency situations, such as the fall of the rods and its replacement by a new one (that can be seen only after a slow motion).
So, in themselves above things give us every reason to recommend a drive to purchase not only the pro's, but all lovers of Deep Purple, for three hours non-shooting and high-quality sound without fail every viewer will find a lot of new and interesting.
