Drummer Carl Palmer, founding member of "Emerson Lake & Palmer" is the subject of the new instructional DVD, "Carl Palmer Drum Solos", due for release February 22, 2011, by Music Video Distributors (Mvd).
The video is a unique study of Palmer's drum solos from the "Brain Salad Surgery" era of Elp, through his years with both "Asia" and his own band, capturing three classic Palmer solos from different eras, at speeds of 25%, 50% and 100%. By watching solos in the slowest motion, drummers can peek into Palmer's methods.
The DVD also comes with note-for-note sheet music transcriptions of each solo, downloadable with Adobe Reader.
"It enables other drummers to get inside how I have crafted and arranged my solos over the years," said Palmer. "A drum solo is an extremely personal work of art, but others can learn from it and develop their own percussive expressions."
The idea for the DVD was conceived by fellow drummer Eric Fischer,...
