Filmed in front of a live audience, John demonstrates the musical skills that have made him the drummer of choice for artists such as Prince, Patti LaBelle, and Justin Timberlake. John performs his original compositions with a burning band: Gary Grainger on bass, Mike Scott on guitar, and Corey Bernhard on keyboards. Interspersed among the performances, John touches on topics including grooving/playing in the pocket, foot technique, and showmanship, along with extensive commentary and demonstrations of the grooves and concepts that have influenced him. The three-hour DVD is divided into two main sections. In the first section, Blackwell performs with the all-star band and then explains and demonstrates the drum parts. Not only does the master drummer discuss the way the song and groove evolved along with the specific techniques that are involved in the performance, he demonstrates the patterns at normal and slow speeds to provide students with a deeper, fuller understanding of the parts and their musical context. The second part of the program covers topics such as playing musically, grooving and embellishing the groove without over-playing, fills and solos, showmanship and independence as well as Blackwell s Jazz, R&B and Hip-Hop roots. Also featured is special guest Marcus Williams, John s teacher, who leads an extensive master class segment on his amazing foot technique and soloing concepts. ALSO INCLUDED: A PDF ebook containing transcriptions of John s grooves, as well as other educational material. ## Images ![John Blackwell Master Series - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51S5m+lcetL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ J. Blackwell Master Class DVD! *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2009* This DVD is one of the best drum DVD's out there today. What I love the most about this DVD is John made it clear that this DVD was about getting drummers to playing in the grove/pocket and how important it is for drummers to do that. I also love his stories about his lessions in the industry when he got into trouble for not playing what the song called for. Not only will you enjoy the songs, but you will also enjoy Johns stories and lessions. This is a must have DVD for your connection and you will find yourself watching this DVD many times. I strongly suggest this DVD for every drummer, especially if you're having a hard time with drummers who likes to play all over the place and not in the pocket. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful performance. *by N***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2009* If this is your first masters DVD it isn't really an instruction video in the traditional sence. The master class DVD's are more centered around performance of the insturment in a band setting. Loads of info on how to play with people, some licks but mostly how to be a good musician.This one is a little more performanced based than the Gadd or Sanchez DVD's. Very good none the less. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ True Musicianship *by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2010* Blackwell truly explains and demonstrates how to become a great musician. He demonstrates technique, showmanship, and most importantly, how to play in a group. How to create that groove and not overplay. In fact, he even does just that. He shows what it means to be in the pocket, and what it means to be out-of-pocket. Blackwell also describes his history, how he came around to play with Prince, Justin Timberlake, etc. It's not about showing off, it's about keeping the groove and allowing the band to become more musical.
