Product: Chad Wackerman Trio - Hits Live (2010)
Rating: 4.0
Excellent inspirational DVD
This is The Chad Wackerman Trio's first DVD, recorded "live" in DrumChannel's LA studio in 2009.Contains mostly tracks from Chad's four solo cd's, released between 1991 and 2004. The firsttwo of these albums featured guitarist Allan Holdsworth, the last two Australian guitarist James Muller.On this DVD, however, the band consists of guitarist Mike Miller (Chick Corea Elektrik Band II,Banned from Utopia) and bassist Doug Lunn (Ed Mann, OutTrio).This is absolutely not an instructional DVD, but rather a performance DVD. Chad talks a bitbetween songs about what inspired that particular tune and so on.The playing is top notch, the sound and camera angles perfect.If you are a fan of any of the above musicians (Miller is featured A LOT), you'll enjoythis! Chad has a couple of featured drum intros to some of the songs, nicely improvisedon his DW/Paiste drumkit.Highly recommended.
