Awesome!
As a drummer for over 27 years, I can tell you this DVD has it all! Amazing footage of soem of the top drummers of today, and them some. Great tips, great techniques, and great sound all make this a great package well worth the money. Buy this today and get inspired!! Its truly magical!

Cut the Third Disc
I am a huge fan of Modern Drummer and most of eveything they do is very informative and entertaining. This set is great until you get to the third disc. Most of the interviews lack a great deal of personality. It is a great skill to play the drums well, it is an even greater skill to explain what you are doing... some of these great drummers fall just a little short.
On a side note, I don't see any skill in what Chris Adler is doing...

Great musicians but a bit slow
This came highly recommended. I bought it as a gift for my child who is a good drummer and has seen some of these musicians live. Unfortunately, we both felt the stars performed well but there was too much down time between numbers and great solos. Anotherwords, it dragged a bit and was slow. Better editing may have helped but I know many people want to see the whole performance. In conclusion, it was probably just a long performance -- the viewer just has to wait or search for the jewels.

Modern Drummer Festivas
If you intend on purchasing this DVD make sure you plenty of free time.
Once you hit play you can't stop watching it. All of the performances are caught with excellant angles and audio. It's worth purchasing just to watch Chad Smith and Ian Paice.

Just two words
I have only two words (or names) and it would say it all....Jason Bittner.
