A program shot and released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of musician-cum-author Rick Latham's 1980 tome Advanced Funk Studies, Rick Latham: Advanced Funk Studies caters to aspiring drummers by bringing to the screen the percussive techniques discussed and demonstrated in the said book. This release actually incorporates the two programs previously issued as Advanced Funk Studies and Contemporary Drumset Techniques; it finds Latham not only describing the techniques in question but providing in-depth, on-camera demonstrations of them.
