SURF DRUM DVD here at last! Really!

It seems hard to believe, but our project is finally finished and ready for release. The saga unfolds like this: It started out as a modest drum instructional DVD titled "The Art of Surf Drumming" featuring tips and lessons from first, second, and third-wave drummers Bob Colwell, Tracy Longstreth, Lee Kix, and Dusty Watson, and included bonus live performances and interviews with several surf legends, including the late Jim Pash giving a priceless lecture on the birth of "Wipeout". After viewing hours of great footage, we realized that we had so much more than a simple drum instruction video. Out of this mountain of footage arose "A Drummer's Guide to Surf Music", a full-length documentary feature exploring the SoCal surf scene from '61 to the present. In addition to our four featured drummers, we've included first-hand accounts from Bob Spickard and Bob Welch of the Chantays, Richard Delvy of the Challengers, Jim Pash of the Surfaris, and many more. The all-star live band features classic performances from Paul Johnson, Dave Wronski, Ron Eglit, and even Jeff BTD! We've put these two together under the title "Pounding Surf!"---almost four hours of drums, reverb and surf lore, all from a drummer's perspective. Major kudos go to Paul Johnson, who did a heroic job narrating and editing the film.
Our self-imposed deadline for release was the August 2nd SG101 convention, and---we made it! The first copies will be on sale Saturday at Suzy's in Hermosa Beach, and Sunday at the Huntington Beach Pier show. The price is $24.99, but as a special thanks to to SG101'ers who've kept interest in this project alive ("where's the drum DVD, already?"), mention SG101 and you get it for twenty bucks. Our website is still under construction, but you can order copies securely online for the same price using Paypal (use 4orders@surfdrums.com). Please add $3.00 for S&H, and indicate SG101 in the comments box. Snail mailers can send check/MO payable to: E.G.O. Productions, PO Box 12012, Costa Mesa, CA 92627. This is a zone-free DVD and international orders are welcome, but please add $6.00 for S&H. Send any inquiries to 4info@surfdrums.com.
Special thanks to everyone who worked so hard on this thing, and to those who kept bugging us to finish it. THANK YOU for your patience! It was a labor of love and we think it was worth the wait. We hope that you like it, we think that you will.

Surf is WAY up!

Bob Colwell, Tracy Longstreth, Paul Johnson, Dusty Watson, Matt Quilter

I watched part of it tonight. It is definitly a good dvd to have.
Yes, some folks were left out of the interviews.
But IMHO still a good view.

I'm impressed. Worship
