Stanton Moore Groove Alchemy

DescriptionHudson Music and Stanton Moore are thrilled to announce the release of the Groove Alchemy DVD, a complete method for developing a massive vocabulary of grooves in more than a few funk-based styles, together with a historical overview of one of the crucial key grooves in the development of funk. Says Moore: Groove Alchemy reflects the program that I have put myself through to strengthen my own funk and groove playing. It s a groove boot camp that allows you to vastly increase your knowledge of classic grooves and more importantly, will also ignite your imagination and make you a funkier and more creative drummer. On the 3-hour Groove Alchemy DVD, Stanton presents a historical overview of one of the crucial most important drum grooves in history, showing the basic elements and conceptual development of each groove. He then shows you how to be told from the past and develop your own complete vocabulary for creating new funk grooves and patterns on the drumset. Starting with an in-depth study of the James Brown drummers (especially Clyde Stubblefield and Jabo Starks) and Joseph Zigaboo Modeliste of the Meters, Groove Alchemy goes far beyond a mere history lesson by applying Stanton s concepts for making your own playing more creative, musical, and funky. Topics include the usage of variation and style combination to create new grooves, the usage of rhythmic structures and clave ideas for advanced drum set vocabulary, hi-hat concepts, getting creative with backbeat grooves, a look at how to develop swing and shuffle grooves, and more. Intercut with the educational segments, Stanton s trio also performs new tracks from their contemporary CD (also known as Groove Alchemy, Telarc Records), showing how a number of the grooves discussed are applied directly to the music. Bonus features include slow-motion segments of key grooves DVD Size: 7-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ Artist: Stanton Moore ISBN: 142349475X Intercut with the educational segments, Stanton’s trio also performs new tracks from their contemporary CD, showing how a number of the grooves discussed are applied directly to the music [amz_corss_sell asin=”B003ASVPXU”]
