THE DRUMMING BODY DVD - Launching July 2009
Featuring Jack Bennett & Ben Kong

Production on The Drumming Body DVD is now in full swing and due to launch mid July 2009. To the 100's of emails we've received on TBD, we can safely say we are now well on the way and it is shaping up to be a fantastic release, and completely different to anything that has ever touched the "physical analysis" side of drumming.

The Drumming Body stars leading Melbourne personal trainer Ben Kong, and is an in depth analysis of what happens inside the body when we play the drums, presented in an easy to grasp and digestable DVD volume, with myself as the  guinea pig.

Topics covered such as:

* Analysis of drumming movement and physiology
* Functional training for injury prevention
* Mobility patterns and joint protection
* Combating chronic pain caused from drumming the wrong way
