"New Rhythm Grooves - Playing with N.R.G."

1994
This instructional video highlights David’s characteristic innovative use of polyrhythms, showing how to make the odd-numbered rhythms into even pendulum-like grooves. Far from being obscure, David shows how to make the odd times come alive in amazing ways. The 3, 5 and 7 rhythms are clearly explained step by step with demonstrations aided by Adam Armstrong on bass.

The video culminates with a free improvisation between David, Adam and guest guitarist Jack Jones, putting all the odd-time grooves and metric modulations into a performance context. The video also includes some tips on preparation such as physical and mental attitudes to playing, "non-violent" warm-ups, focus on breathing and visualising. One of a kind.
