The first disc of this two disc set focuses on the techniques needed to play effectively in this genre. Flo discusses the basic elements fundamental in playing extreme metal drums as well as showing exercises, routines and tips facilitating speed, endurance and control. The second disc focuses on live performances with Flo s band Cryptopsy, clinic performances, over the top solos, extreme songs and drum duets. As Flo's playing has inspired many different types of drummers, so will the contents of this 2 DVD set. The DVD-Rom (Disc 1) is PC and Mac compatible. Flo Mounier is the drummer of the Canadian Death Metal Band Cryptopsy. He has been with the band ever since they renamed themselves from Necrosis to Cryptopsy. He is most known for his technical skills and speed incorporationg double bass drumming and blast beats mixed with a jazzy play of ehythms. He is considered one of the most talented Heavy Metal Drummers of all time.

best instruction for beginning death metal drumers available.......2007-02-12

so you want to play death metal, but that fast double bass and blasting just seems impossible, and you have no clue how flo, derek, and the rest got to those speeds. well, flo here will show you how to do it, and that's a great service. (btw the big secret is...lots and lots of chops drilling to a metronome, every day for the rest of your life. exactly what any drum teacher would tell you to do!) flo offers the viewer precise exercises that will definitely, with a lot of work, make you an extreme metal drummer. Conversely, Flo doesn't talk about advanced beats at all; the instruction is all chops. If you want to get into the really weird stuff he likes to play I imagine he'd just tell you to take Jazz and Latin lessons, like he did!

I wouldn't recommend this for experienced grinders, however. Like I said, the video is oriented towards beginners; aside from the much-anticipated discussion of the gravity blast I actually didn't learn anything I didn't know already. But I think it would have saved me a lot of time when I was starting out, having to put together my own practice routine for death metal. This isn't a fault, actually. The Derek Roddy dvd was the first death metal instructional, but it was waaaaay too hard for most people. Flo is filling in the gap for beginners. If you can play death metal already and want to learn about becoming a real monster on the kit, get Derek's dvd instead.

Flo put a lot of time and effort into this thing; it looks and sounds great, and what he teaches is very clear. (unlike the tim alexander dvd, which will teach you nothing) there's a bonus dvd that is all soloing, and it's a lot of fun - extreme metal drummers are usually terrible soloists, but Flo shows that it can be a really cool thing.

DEFINITLY A MUSICAL PLAYER.......2006-11-23

This "Drum Geezer" guy probably uses all of Minnemann's chops!!! :-) ...AAND doesn't write music himself, do you?

Minnemann's DVD is great, he plays his compositions with a band, explains his style and techniques AND he's capable to performing it in a VERY musical way, not only on the drums BTW. Check out his CDs as well, they're awesome. Other than probably "Drum Geezer", Minnemann is able to write and perform music in various styles and with various artists around the world.....and meanwhile his cymbals sound even better:-)

Have fun with this DVD. It's worth the money 1000times and in my opinion it Rocks!

Holy knackwurst!!! Ich bin ein drummer... :).......2006-03-22

Since I can't say anything different than has been said in other reviews; I'll just say [expletive deleted] !!! This guy needs a few more limbs. I see him using his head next to play the drums, then his nose, ears, etc.... (you get the picture) Mesmerizing to watch play... and you drool over his kit. You just can't go wrong in getting this dvd. Inspiring lessons interspersed between the songs. Place bets NOW!

Minnemann is insane!!!.......2006-02-23

Wow! I started playing drums over 25 years ago and had to take some years off in between. I started playing again last November and I am amazed at the level that these guys are taking drums and percussion. Marco's DVD is better than Thomas Langs "Creative Control" in my opinion because I find that the music that he plays to is very fusion oriented for the most part. Marco is definitely coordinated and has unbelievable interdependence skills. Definitely a DVD for upper intermediate to advanced. I believe that a beginner would perhaps be amazed but possibly a little discouraged at the patience and practice that would be required to be a drummer of Marco's caliber.

Amaaaazing Musician.......2004-11-01

I'm blown away by this DVD. Marco proves that he's not only the technical cat, but also a great composer and allround musician. I just bought his new CD Mieze, were he almost played and sang everything......ammmaaazing stuff. Go and get all that great stuff!!

Great DVD.......2004-04-10

Marco Minnemann didn't play with Steve Vai before Virgil....that was Mike Mangini, I think "dose 2000" mixed that up.
But anyways.....keep on buying this DVD, it's worth it!!! and...check out marco's music on his site, there's lots of great stuff!!
