Billy Ward Big Time DVD
#24461 - Sat Jul 23 2005 04:21 AM (222.153.172.152)

I plagarised the review, but in short, i really enjoyed this instructional DVD. It is different to many others with it's logicalconcepts,and offers so much more that is actually usable.

IMO very helpful for the intermediate player, money well spent, i doubt any drummer would not enjoy this one, Billy has a great personallity. 10/10 [Cool]

Big Time is a riveting look at the very essence of what makes the human clock tick. Included are lessons, performances and insights, all presented in a new and groundbreaking format that strips the art of drumming to its very core. Drummers of every skill level will benefit from the wealth of experience and practical knowledge that has continued to make Billy Ward an in-demand studio and touring player with some of the biggest names in music.
It includes his alternative perspective on basic rudiments, fills, shuffles and milking techniques.

I definetly have to agree. Billy's sense of character is great. Along with his drumming. The big time section was a big eye opener for time keeping to me. I think everyone should watch it.

Erm... milking techniques?

"Hold teat in thumb and forefinger... squeeze gently with a downward motion... repeat."

Nice one Tim! I agree with these responses. I picked up Big Time shortly after it was released and was extremely happy with it. Billy avoids the "Check out my chops" route (though he does have some nice ones) and focuses on mechanisms to help us groove. I absolutely recommend it.
