From Mangini FB:
If you have friends that are not DT fans, then my DVD will help them understand what makes it and all music what it is, but I won't be demoing or using DT music. I did not write it and do not own the copywrites. My upcoming DVD is an instructional one using my most potent learning system ever that is not in my Rhythm Knowledge books. It is actually the seed of everything I do and will allow me to
film many, many more DVD's based on it. It will allow musicians that previously could not improvise, understand (my DT playing) or grow as players to do so in less than 30 minutes and for the rest of their lives. It will help anybody understand what possibilities there are for musicians. It will help understand Rhythm Knowledge if they don't already. Friends will understand just how deep DT music is and why it isn't as easily absorbed as pop music. I tested this system for a few years while at Berklee. It never failed. It never took more than one half hour lesson. Students who studied for 3 years that made no improvement and not able to play with people very well were able to improvise in five musical styles that they didn't get, felt like they were forced to learn, practice or find any joy in in less than 30 minutes. It also allowed everyone of them to see who and what they are and where they go as musicians. Finally, it removed music prejudice. What was once music (and musicians/people) that a person didn't like or even respect became one (the music AND the musician) they finally understood and didn't disrespect anymore. It didn't matter the instrument. It didn't matter the person's background, likes, dislikes or color of their socks. I have about 200 'thank you' emails from the students which I thank them for because it proves just how potent this system is. I will demo the core of ' drum moves and grooves' that I used for ADToE as an additional set of clips. I'll speak about it more in December. I need to film it first, but I wanted to clue in whomever is interested.
