NOTE: All three battery
drum products contain the same video lesson.
These
battery audition products are the first of their kind - a video
lesson over 2 hours in length with Murray Gusseck, battery caption
manager for SCV. Watch and learn as Murray demonstrates the core principles
of his unique technique program at SCV that apply to the snare, tenor,
and bass sections. These demonstrations are done mainly on the snare
drum but apply in large part to all three drum sections of the battery. |
 |
Each battery download also
includes an electronic file for printing — specific to your section – containing
over 30 pages of music and instruction, including some of SCV's most popular
exercises. For those interested in auditioning for the SCV battery section,
or for those just interested in getting an inside look at SCV's approach
to the battery, this is for you. Now for the first time ever, you'll have
the chance to visually study these techniques prior to auditioning!
