Afro-Cuban DVD Reviews

Sonny Buxton KCSM FM, Jazz91, San Mateo, CA “Curt Moore has come up with the perfect solution for the Clave ‘dummy’ - Afro-Cuban Drumset: Grooves You Can Use. Believe it when I tell you: he explains it. Where were you when I needed you, Curt Moore? He not only explains, he shows you how to do it, and you can play along. The Clave is in place, and you discover why it is called the ‘key.’ Moore even sets up the drum kit for you, and gives detailed instruction in its use. The difference between you and thousands of drummers in the past is the head-start opportunity you have at your fingertips: Curt Moore's Afro-Cuban drumset DVD.” Murray Gusseck Cofounder & Arranger for Tapspace Publications “Curt Moore's new DVD on Afro-Cuban Rhythms for Drumset is an outstanding addition to the growing library of instructional materials for this style of music. It fills an important niche for younger players both in terms of how the various styles are presented and the above average commentary Curt lends to virtually every clip of video. The tuning and setup tips are worth the price of the DVD alone. The production quality is fantastic and it also includes loops and PDF files of the grooves to completely max out the ways you can use a DVD as a learning tool.
