The program is hosted by drum corps legend Dennis DeLucia, who introduces the various clips, which have been selected specifically for their educational value.
Priced affordably and containing a wealth of previously released material from the Hudson Music catalog, the titles in the Ultimate Drum Lessons series have proven to be very popular with drummers. In response to customer comments, the clips on these new releases have been chosen specifically for their educational/instructional content (less concert performances and more actual lessons).
