Hey Everybody, I am so proud that my Hudson Videos are finally available! The first, Seeing Sounds is a 3-part lesson series — and a comprehensive study on how to achieve a professional sound within Rock, Funk and Jazz. I clearly demonstrate each drum and cymbal size’s application, the appropriate microphone and mic placement for each sound and the proper drumset articulations for each musical style. This series will help you take control of your sound and attain your favorite drum sounds on the stage and studio. You can view excerpts on my media-video page

My Private Lesson series of video and pdf based lessons will provide today’s student drummer with a series of performance suggestions, tips and tricks that they can use immediately with their band, playalong texts and performance opportunities. You can download and view excerpts on my media-video page

Banner Graphic says: Ever wonder what Al Green would sound like with techno beats and loops along with fuzzed-out guitars to back him up? Me neither. But now we have an answer anyway. With the recent release of Escape from Dee-troyt, Los Angeles outfit Rhett Frazier Inc. displays a rare mix of classic soul and funk alongside modern synths and the occasional loud guitar. Frazier’s main co-conspirator is drummer/producer is Inc - aka: Donny Gruendler. Like Frazier, he’s a multi-tasker, with the liner notes crediting him with drums, synths, production and mangled beats. The juxtaposition of Frazier’s retro voice and Gruendler’s futuristic production give the music its teeth. Read the reviews here and here.
