And, of course, most everything in The Zen of Drumming takes place behind Bobby's massive 21-piece Peavey drum kit. Here are a few behind-the-scenes shots of "the tubs": |
||||
In the video, Bobby even gives a guided tour of the kit and explains all about his... | ||||
...drums... |
...cymbals... |
|||
...and even his 9-pedal set-up and all the rest of his accessories. |
||||
Ladies
and gents...welcome to "The Practice Pad Realm" ...or at least
that what Bobby calls this special setting in The Zen of Drumming. |

- - - - - - - - - - - Here we have "The Rockster" breaking many of the vids techniques and groove ideas down for you. He also shows you some of his favorite, accelerated technique-building concepts and exercises, including his use of (Diggit) Stickweights, as seen both in the middle photo, and again on the right, where Bobby demonstrates some of his trademark speed/endurance-building "air drumming" exercises. |
||||
A longtime advocate for superior health, Bobby even brings you into the kitchen for a segment. These first two shots have BR walking you through many of his recommended food choices... | ||||
And that lovely green drink (below) is one of Bobby's "Ultimate Meal" smoothies, which he actually demonstrates how to make! | ||||
Is the "Rock Man" asleep at the wheel here? Not hardly. This is actually a shot from the video dealing with meditation and how it can be of benefit in getting you in the proper "peak performance" head space. | ||||
Here are a couple more behind-the-scenes shots for ya... | ||||
First, it's a "group hug" featuring Bobby's longtime soundman Munch Miller (middle) and "The Wizard," Newly Newell, Bobby's ever-present drum tech. | ||||
In this one, the boys are joined by Robb Cloepfil (next to Bobby) and Jim Hamilton (on the far left). Cloepfil not only co-produced with Bobby but directed, edited, dealt with the lighting and set design, was a camera operator, and basically oversaw every aspect of the video's production. Meanwhile, Hamilton was Cloepfil's right-hand man at AVP (where the video was shot) and also served as the vid's chief cinematographer. | ||||
Finally, here are a few more. The top row/middle shot is a frame grab from an on-the-road excerpt featured in the video. | ||||
