Product Description: Take a lesson from a veteran musician and born storyteller! Levon Helm shares musical history and the influences that helped shape his signature style. Beginners learn a variety of basics: shuffles, eighth-note grooves, the rim shot, drum intros and fills, and more. Advanced drummers will appreciate his "ghost notes,"; how his snare triggers the bass drum (and vice versa); his "eighth-note rubbin' the shuffle" feel and other techniques. Levon shares his approach to drumming and singing, shows how he transforms a song with his trademark half-time feel and demonstrates the power of double drumming in a rock 'n' roll band. He plays and sings some of his best-known tunes, from country blues to Band hits, both solo and with his legendary group: "The Weight," "King Harvest," "Milk Cow Boogie," "The Battle Is Over (But The War Goes On)," "Blues Stay Away From Me," "I Don't Want To Hang Up My Rock 'n' Roll Shoes," "Short Fat Fanny," "Up On Cripple Creek," "Life Is A Carnival" and the Bo Diddley-inspired "Hand Jive."
