How do you know if you’re “in the pocket?”  Following the tremendous success of his debut DVD Extreme Drum Set Techniques, Randy Van Patten’s teamed up with top drummer Jeff Lutz to answer that question with his follow-up DVD, In the Pocket.

From
jazz, funk, rock, blues, to the Bossa Nova and Mambo, Randy and Jeff
explore varied concepts and explain techniques that allow you to lock in
with other band members and play “in the pocket.” Through Randy and
Jeff’s unique approaches to drums, and insight from several seasoned
musicians, you’ll quickly develop an understanding of how to play “in
the pocket” for any musical style.

Knowing
the feeling, getting in the groove, or clicking with other musicians
doesn’t come easy.  It’s not a tool or a lesson. It’s a concept that
Randy and Jeff explain in detail and provide examples, while at the same
time, making it fun. With almost two hours of instruction and
conversation, In the Pocket is a must-have for your back pocket.

Randy
Van Patten’s background includes years of live experience, session
work, drum clinics and many years of private drum instruction.  Jeff
Lutz is a working drummer and instructor with over 30 years experience,
and has performed with Cher, Buddy Greco, and Wayne Cochran & the
C.C. Riders.
