So many of the instructional DVDs produced by big name drummers these days focus on the basics, but simultaneously assume a certain level of proficiency and maturity as a player.

So Hudson Music Digital stepped up to the plate and produced a series of videos available from their web site featuring legendary player Tommy Igoe which start with the basics of playing the kit in a very cool way. Basically, you visit their web site and select from a collection of videos which cover the gambit of styles: Rock, funk, jazz, latin and so on. The most expensive video is $3.99—try to get a lesson from someone of Tommy’s stature for that kind of money.

I bought the Intro to Funk lesson this morning and totally dug it. I recommend you download the video to your laptop, attach your headphone to the computer and play along. The best part of these lessons: Rewind.

Be sure to check this out. It’s a great value and, with the money crunch everybody seems to be in these days, getting a high quality instruction video without having to pay $30 for it is really nice. It’s terrific to see Hudson embracing the iTunes style of business with their instruction content.
