Lakeridge Productions is pleased to announce the release of "Afro-Cuban
Drumset: Grooves You Can Use” featuring Curt Moore. This
feature-rich and highly interactive DVD presents concise and
engaging instruction
for playing traditional Afro-Cuban percussion parts on the drumset.
The disc includes detailed lessons, extensive interactive practice
tools and many bonus materials.
With over 100 recordings to his credit, Curt Moore has amassed an
impressive resume that lists collaborations with many leading jazz,
pop and world music artists, including Francisco Aguabella, Pete
Escovedo, Andy Narell, and Steve Turre, and leads his own critically
acclaimed Latin Jazz group "Soul Sauce". Moore is on the
faculty at The Jazzschool in Berkeley, California, and is in demand
nationally as a clinic instructor and festival adjudicator.
Moore hosts “Afro-Cuban Drumset” to conduct nearly 3
hours of instruction covering 99 grooves in Cha Cha, Mambo Son,
Bolero, and Afro 6/8 song styles, After breaking down each groove,
Moore demonstrates how it sounds in a band setting. The grooves
are also presented using Moore’s unique "Latin Feet/Jazz
Feet" concept showing two ways to play the groove as a step
toward learning the traditional "tumbao" bass patterns.
Each song style is demonstrated with music by Curt's band "Soul
Sauce”, providing valuable insight into how the grooves are
used in the context of a performance. Moore comments on his technique
along with advice for playing with other musicians on an alternate
audio track.
Extensive practice tools incorporate interactive play-along
tracks for each groove with options for choosing which
instruments to
practice
along with. DVD-ROM features include printable PDF notation
files of all the grooves, as well as looping audio files
in Sony®
Acid® and Apple® Garageband™ formats that facilitate
tempo alterations without affecting the pitch of the instruments.

Use" include:

comments regarding his drum, cymbal and percussion choices.
