"This DVD reminds me very much of Neal Peart's "A Work in Progress" -- the DVD where he demonstrates all of the drum parts to the songs on Rush's "Test for Echo" album. This DVD reviews the drum parts to all of Bad Company's hits from the band's drummer, Simon Kirke. (It also contains a Free song as Paul Rodgers and Simon were members of Free before founding Bad Company.) I recently met Simon and had a private clinic with him in October 2006 and the information and drumming philosophy he shares in this Rockstar release is very representative of his style of teaching and personality that came through during our time together. (Simon is now teaching students privately at his studio in NYC.) As a drummer for a classic rock band, I found the opportunity to see Simon demonstrate the drum parts for all of these Bad Company songs to be extremely helpful in learning the parts to all of these monster classic rock songs. I would love to see many more similar products from other famous drummers via Rockstar! Well done Simon and Rockstar, GIVE US MORE!"
