Historical Linguistics Movie Reviews

The DVD provides some good information. But it is not for beginning drummers! Probably will be more useful as I gain experience. Overall, Steve is clearly a great drummer, but value wise. I would say cut the price a bit.

Steve is truly a great drummer and teacher. I have dozens of instructional videos and this is by far the best, truly worth every penny. The solos alone are worth the price. The sections on hand technique(both tradtitional and match stick) are just breathtaking, I simply wanted to cry. Plus the sound/camara work/menu system are all top notch and almost every solo has an alternate commentary track, so you can listen to Steve discuss the different techniques used while playing. Also, something I havn't seen touched on before in a drum video, is the history of the US beat. Steve gives a very interesting history of drumming, explaining where many of the styles seen today came from...

The best instructional video/DVD ever, more than 4:30 hours, including PDF files with charts and exercises!! Awesome!!
I'll be spending the next couple of years studying with "my personal" teacher Steve Smith.

IF YOU HAVE READ THE BOOK OF THREE KINGDOMS, YOU SHOULD START TO WATCH THIS TV SERIES NOW, BECAUSE IT WILL HELP YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND THE BOOK AND BRING ALL THE FIGURES AND EVENTS INTO VIVID LIFE RIGHT BEFORE YOU ON TV SET OR YOUR COMPUTER.

Really enjoyed this unique Chinese classic TV series. Because of English subtitles and having read the book set, fully understand it. Not only does it play on my DVD player, but also it plays on my computer. Will recommend to everybody !!

The almost 50 hour's long TV drama takes me many weeks to finish, sometimes I stayed up watching until early in the morning.Because once you start watching it, you just could not help yourself. The plot ,performanc and everything else are fantastic. One word to summize "SUPER". It works on my DVD player greatly ! I hope everybody who enjoys real classics will get this product.

Do not purchase this DVD. It doesn't even have the March on WAshington speech in its entirety. I thought that it would be equal in quality to the "Montgomery to Memphis" documentary of which I have an old copy. It wasn't even remotely close. So take my advice. Pass on this purchase and hope that some day there will be a DVD version of the original "Montgomery to Memphis" video.

Well I purchased this video believing that I would get a better perspective on Dr. King's speeches, but I was somewhat disappointed. First, this tape is recorded in EP/LP (long play) speed. Therefore it is easily visible to notice the inferior quality of the recording. The documentary is only a hour long, there shouldn't of been a reason to apply it in long play mode. I was appreciative of the time spent on his second triumph-the war on povery and his staunch opposition to the Vietnam War. But when the video gets near the end and ventures on the Memphis sanitation workers strike in March/April 1968. You see footage from his 1966 Chicago equal housing campaign.
The bottom line is that I wouldn't recomend this video. Oh yah, Martin was born with the name of Michael Luther King jr.
