BILL BRUFORD (drums, percussion)
The material contained on this DVD was filmed in New York City and New Haven, Connecticut in February and March of 1982. As with so many things to do with Bruford, he was amongst the first to offer material to the then-fledgling genre of drum instructional videos. Bruford and the Beat features solos, interviews, demonstrations and rare performance footage of Bill with King Crimson, with guest appearances by Robert Fripp and Steve Howe. Both entertaining and educational, this visually rich program will appeal to anyone interested in music, and to everyone who's followed the various twists and turns of Bill Bruford's lengthy career.
How
great to watch Bruford explain how he creates drumming riffs and
patterns. His insight about his left hand technique, and what that has
meant to him as a musician, was particularly valuable. A real treat to
watch him drum up close, and to watch the King Crimson footage. The
interview of Steve Howe concerning Bruford's contribution to YES was
dead-on. Nice video.
