Wicked Beats: An Introduction

Excerpted from "Wicked Beats", an instruction DVD from Gil Sharone and Hudson Music - learn more at HudsonMusic.com!

Hosted and produced by drummer Gil Sharone (Stolen Babies/The Dillinger Escape Plan), Wicked Beats is the first product to offer a complete study of the evolution and development of Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae. It is the first and only curriculum to cover African Nyabingi, Mento and Burru, which helped shape the foundation of Jamaican drumming.

Wicked Beats' comprehensive program teaches the proper sound and feel for dozens of grooves and variations. Sharone expertly guides the viewer through each of the three primary Jamaican styles plus many sub-styles, with tips on how to master each.

The product also includes compelling band demonstrations that give context to the lessons. The performances feature influential Jamaican/reggae musicians executing these styles with an authentic feel.

Completing the package are play-along tracks, an eBook with transcriptions, and a recommended discography. The DVD also includes special appearances by reggae historian Roger Steffens, Jamaican drumming pioneer Lloyd Knibb (The Skatalites), reggae drumming legend Carlton "Santa" Davis, and Adrian Young (No Doubt).

Gil is the truth. Its unbelievable that someone who could groove this hard could fit so well with the Dillinger Escape Plan.

This is maybe a bit irrelevant, but what drumsticks is he using? :) It seems like everyone uses them?

@wurstnacken playing highly complex music doesn't mean you will have groove with other stuff. there are plenty of guys that play complex music that have no groove at all. gil has a gift to play anything with incredible feel including his work with Dillinger.

@tbruchey

this has nothing to do with being unbelievable. dillinger is highly complex music, which makes the ability to groove inevitable. don't let the complexity of dillinger mislead you. this truly is music that at least allows you to bang your head, if not even to dance. you just gotta listen for more than 30 seconds.
