It's Volume 2.......2007-08-29

Just a quick note, this is volume 2 of "The Complete Drummer" - I can't see any mention of that in the description, but it you enlarge the picture you can just see "2" in the top corner.

Pap!!.......2006-12-05

I'll apologize now, steer clear of this DVD, because it falls way short of it's title.

It should be called the incomplete drummer. It's very much like a whistle stop tour of a one hour lesson on a DVD which is far too long with very little new information.

To be honest there is nothing here that you cannot get far easier from any good drum tutorial book. Try Dom Famularo's book: 'It's Your Move' or 'The Drummers Bible' by Mick Berry.

An excellent DVD which will give you much more than the above DVD is 'Moeller Method Secrets' by Mike Michalkow it is available from the USA and well worth the effort.

Good Instructional DVD.......2005-11-14

I have had a few of them, and to be honest got fed up with the standard American drawl that you usually get on drum DVDs. This one is presented in a very easy and relaxed manner (by an English guy!) with a lot of very pertinent and well-conveyed information. He is obviously a very good drummer and teacher, this comes across on the DVD. I have managed to play several of the things on it, I am really pleased with some of the very slick sounding beats that I have been able to play following the tips etc. Well worth it in my opinion. I think I have certainly become a better player because of it!

£150?????????.......2007-12-10

WTF? I mean, really? Why does this DVD cost £150 to buy? I could rent it for £3.99 and illegally copy it then return it and prices like that mean I'm much more likely to break the law in this way.

What reason could possibly explain a £150 price tag? Madness. I was going to get it for my mum for christmas as she went to see the show back in the 90s. I think I'll just buy her the VHS and a VHS recorder to watch it on. Madness. One hundred and fifty quid indeed. Bollocks.

Hilarious.......2006-12-07

When watched in fast-forward it's brilliant! Especially enjoyed the corny explanation of Heathcliff's missing three years after he ran away. Not to be watched seriously, but if you're after cheese - this is for you. Just don't listen to the music.

Excellent and underrated by most.......2003-10-09

I believe that Cliff Richard will never reach the excellence again that he reached with this wonderful musical. The music and singing are fantastic. I am not a die-hard Cliff fan. Believe me i listen to the Cd too and it reduces me to tears. No doubt many critics of Sir cliff would say "Oh yes well he does that to me too" No no no This is a wonderful production. I KNOW my musicals and i am very fussy. Heathcliff is fantastic.

The review of a fellow artist.......2002-08-07

I have seen this video more times than I have had hot dinners. It is a real "Feel good" movie in the sense that there is so much music and colour and life that you can't help but love it. I watch this while cleaning, doing paperwork or just as a means of chilling in the evening. For anyone who likes good voices and dance will love this portrayal of a classic novel. Amazing vioces and gripping story line, well done to Cliff Richard. Best thing he has ever done.

Sir Cliff works his magic.......2002-05-08

A truly marvellous stage adaptation of wuthering heights, complete with every emotion in the novel. Turning the novel into a stage musical was always going to be a tremendous task, but efforts by Tim Rice and the fantastic cast did the trick. Three of the main characters in the novel are brought to life by three fantastic performers, Cliff Richard playing Heatchliff, Helen Hobson playing Cathy and Darryl Knock playing Edgar. These three stars come together to create a truly fantastic show that many thought would be too difficult to achieve. Full of some fantastic acting and some of the most exquisite voices, heathcliff is a must for all Cliff, Musical and wuthering heights fans alike, it really is no wonder it is the biggest box office smash of all time, a truly tremendous adaptation to the stage. Highly recommended!!!!
