Following on the heels of his debut DVD "Stick Tricks" Chip Ritter provides us with a new instructional DVD that's All About the Boom! This time Chip gives us his personal approach to the practice and execution of single pedal bass drumming presented in his unique Funstructional format.

Let's check it out.

Main Chapters
Chip breaks his single pedal bass drumming DVD into seven chapters with each lesson building on the one before it. Chip's goal is to introduce us to his personal approach to the practice and execution of patterns, beats, and fills you can practice on the drumset that will improve your playability on the bass drum.

Here's a chapter by chapter breakdown:

The A, B, C's. Chips explains the concepts that have helped him streamline his own practice time and enables him to enter new parts into his playing quickly and efficiently. These A, B, C concepts are applied to each of the exercises throughout the DVD.

Ready, Set, Boom! In this chapter Chip covers his approach to pedal set up, striking the bass drum properly, and improving the accuracy, speed, and power of your bass drum technique. In addition, he discusses the all important throne adjustments that can make or break your bass drum chops.

Hands and Foot. Exercises that include the hands along with your bass drum foot designed to help you improve the playability of grooves and patterns where your hand and foot strike together.

Hands THEN Foot. Complexity increases as Chip progresses to exercises where you strike the bass drum in-between where your hands are striking.

Heel-Toe Method. Chip demonstrates his approach to this technique, which allows you to play faster cleaner doubles at higher rates of speed than using the heel or toe alone.

The Power of 3. Chips incorporates his power of 3 concept to help you develop various rhythmic patterns from straight to swing and everything in-between.

Advanced Techniques. Includes linear patterns and the High Hat Boot Camp.

BONUS. Includes outtakes and live drum solos, showing Chip Ritter's Pedal of Boom and his Stick Tricks in action!

Bottom Line: Chip Ritter and the Pedal of Boom DVD
Chip's foray into the art of single pedal bass drumming contains lots of solid information, tips, and techniques that will help beginner and intermediate level drummers of all styles to increase their chops in the fastest time possible. And, as with Chip's first DVD featuring his incredible Stick Tricks, he keeps the learning fun all the way through. I highly recommend it. Check it out, I'm sure you will too.

Chip Ritter and the Pedal of Boom DVD is a good deal at its retail of $24.99. Click the link and grab your copy online today.
