The Modern Drummer Festival 2011 took place at Montclair State University in Montclair, New Jersey, and Hudson Music captures all the action on this exciting and educational DVD set. On the main stage, Gil Sharone (Stolen Babies/Dillinger Escape Plan) expands on concepts found in his Wicked Beats DVD, Trevor Lawrence Jr. (Herbie Hancock/Dr. Dre) performing in hip-hop and fusion styles (including a duet with percussionist Taku Hirano), jazz innovator Jeff "Tain" Watts presents an incredible set with his stellar quartet, prog/metal star Aquiles Priester performs a blistering set of songs from Hangar and Freakeys, and, finally, drum superstar Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez performs with The New World Order, an all-star world music group put together just for the festival.

In addition to the main show, also included are two enlightening master classes. Jazz legend John Riley (Vanguard Jazz Orchestra) demonstrates rhythms that can be heard from various polyrhythmic perspectives, while top country drummer Jim Riley (Rascal Flatts) demonstrates and discusses his approach to versatility in various styles, and rudimental concepts. A printable PDF eBook is also included, containing transcriptions of select performances and other educational info. This DVD package presents not only a chance to relive the Modern Drummer Festival, but to study and learn the concepts presented by these great artists in depth and detail not possible just by attending the event.
