Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Steve Smith is a Teacher
This is a great DVD to use to advance your skills. Possibly the best out there. It works well if you are an intermediate to advanced drummer. Probably a little much if you are a beginner.
He does a great job of breaking down each component of a drummers skill set. He does not just blow things by the student -- he really seems to want to teach you. And he succeeds at it. Bissonette's DVD does not even come close.
Rating:  - More than a flashy collection of drumming wizardy
Understanding our musical heritage has greater, more tangible affect than one might realize. Steve does an excellent job of very quickly giving the student a walk through musical time. The effect for me was a revelation of why some musicians today can swing or groove, and some cannot. For example, understanding the evolution of the drum set itself provides a vision of the core elements in playing and time keeping that spell the difference between swinging or not swinging.

Rating: - Steve Smith DVD
This DVD is very informative. Steve breaks drum set playing down to a simple, easy to understand format. People who aren't even drummers have enjoyed watching this DVD. There also is footage showing why he is a "drummer's drummer".
Rating: - Class Act
Steve Smith is a total class act. Even after all his massive success, he is still such a student of drumming. His knowledge is comprehensive and his technique is flawless. You can't go wrong with this one!
