This DVD is the first instructional drum method to fully  explain the theory and expertly demonstrate the techniques  for adapting authentic Latin rhythms to the modern drumset. The remastered DVD begins with a discussion of the  evolution and adaptation of Afro-Cuban percussion instruments to the drumset. Maturano shows how fundamental  Mambo and Cha-Cha styles are played by the Afro-Cuban rhythm section. Then the drummer isolates each element of the ensemble, allowing viewers to see and hear the patterns played on the original instruments. Finally, Maturano illustrates the proper way to adapt each instruments sound  and rhythm to the drumset.
