Documentary on being a Great Drummer

Go behind the music in this music video documentary produced by Dixon Drums to learn from famous drummers & producers what it takes to be a great drummer. Music industry professionals discuss what it takes (technique, styling, timing, phrasing and groove) to succeed as a drummer. Dixon Drums produced the program as part of a contest it ran and the documentary aired nationally on the A&R Channel. Watch this entertaining video as drummers from across the country competed to reach the finals and win a trip to Hollywood.

Artist Mangaer and Producer Ken Deans talks about being honest to your playing style. If youre a great Ringo Starr player dont try and be A Neil Peart player and if youre a great Neil Pert player dont try and be a Charlie Watts player
Mike Burns, CEO of A&R Channel discusses the need for passion in your music while Mark Moke Bistany talks about dedication and working 24 hours a day to be the best.

Producer Bobby Owsinki talks about the need for internal timing when he says "your feet and hands need to be consistent and work with one another".

This is part one of a two part series produced by Dixon Drums.

Lou Mars shows off his winning drum solo in Dixon's "Drum your way to hollywood" TV show. Music industry professionals review contestants and select a winner in this contest sponsored by Dixon Drums. All those drum lessons have paid off as drummers from across the country submitted their best drum solos to our youtube channel and then the public voted for the top 6 solos. Out of that group one winner was selected by a panel of music experts. This is a documentary on the winning drummer and his audition in front of top music pro's
