Rating: - Great instructional
Being a Ginger Baker fan since I was like 2, I saw this while looking for drum dvds. He demonstrates how to apply rudiments to the kit well. Funny thing was in the African rhythms, he had something in his mouth he had to spit out. That cracks me up. HE is very real, not arrogant, so it is more friendlier to work with. Now let me get back to practicing my Mummy, Daddy's!
Rating: - Essential Baker
To understand Ginger Baker's playing style (as opposed to merely copying it), one has to understand (at least) 3 things: 1) Drum rudiments, both as a tool of developing technique and as musical elements (applied to the drum kit); 2) African-inspired polyrhythmics; 3) Ambidexterity.

Rating:  - Inspiration to practice rudiments!
I wasn't expecting much from a drummer who, while excellent, has generally played in free form, jamming type music. I was very surprised.
Ginger does an excellent job of showing how the very basic rudiments are all you need to become a master drummer on the drumset.

Rating: - Extremely helpful
I'm a guitarist, not a drummer, but I purchased the Boss DR880 drum machine for some upcoming projects and needed to learn as much about drums as possible.
I bought other videos & teaching aids, but nothing was more helpful and interesting than this DVD with Ginger Baker. Of all drummers, Ginger Baker's style has intrigued me the most, so that has a lot to do with why I found it interesting. Buy it. If you like Baker's style you will not at all be disappointed. toddm7atcomcas
