When Phil Rudd took a hiatus from the high-voltage antics of mega-group AC/DC, power-drummer Simon Wright grabbed his sticks and backed the thunderous sound of the heavy metal superstars from down under. This tape, from Hal Leonard Publishing, provides an advanced look at the art of the drums and the proper techniques for improving one's rhythmic sound. Under the watchful eye of Wright, this instructional video thumps out a variation of rock shuffle beats and several of his favorite riffs -- including a live performance with Dio lead guitarist Rowan Robertson.
