At Icanplaydrums.com we've been
producing drumming instructional DVD's since 2006.
These
days, with the speed and availability of broadband
internet, all our courses are delivered digitally;
that is you download them (in multiple formats
should you wish) to your computer, after payment has
gone through. In some instances we give you hi res
files so you can custom burn your own DVD's. We don't
sell DVD's anymore, as they're
slowly becoming obsolete.
The 5 BIG advantages of our
digital products:
1) You get the product immediately, no
shipping delays, no added shipping cost
2) You have lifetime access to the download page,
you can download files as you need them, then come
back later
3) You don't have to chew up your bandwidth
by streaming (like our competitors paid membership sites)
you download the files once
4) The products are cheaper, because there is no
duplication, printing, packaging and fulfillment
costs added on top
5) You can transfer the files to your mobile phone,
portable media device, laptop, thumb drive, iPad,
iPhone etc

THE DRUMMING BODY
DIGITAL - $27 US
Injury prevention, mobility,
flexibility, fitness and nutrition for
drummers.
TDB looks at the common movement patterns we
make when playing the
drums, and why this can pull our posture out
of alignment after years of
playing. This DVD looks at "prehabilitation"
- that is, getting your body
right, specifically for drumming, before
years of playing the drums takes its
toll. This is a fascinating look at what
happens inside the body when we
play, and a refreshing alternative to the
"lift heavy weights, grow huge
muscles" DVD's out there for drummers.
