I'm not sure exactly what you want, but there isn't much available other than Gavin Harrison's Rhythmic Visions DVD. He's coming out with another DVD, but I don't know when it will be available. The DVD goes through some of the material in his books that relate to odd groupings, beat displacement and metric modulation.

Thanks for the help! I am looking for a video that reviews different kinds of polyrhythms, metric modulation, odd groupings, and things of that nature. The wealth of knowledge here at HOD I figured that someone would know of a great video that covers these types of topics.

I think Peter Magadini came out with a video a while ago. Not sure if it has what you're looking for, but you could check it out.

I'm not sure about the videos, but Chaffee's books cover it all pretty thoroughly.

Yes, Magadini did come out with a video, maybe two. I have one and found it to be dry and didn't add anything I didn't already know. It was sort of home made, like someone filmed a class. He may have redone it and released a more polished version, but I don't know about it. Chaffee's books are great and should be in every drummer's library. Gavin Harrison's books are good too.

Chaffee has 2 videos out with Jonathon Mover guesting on 1 and Steve Smith on the other.

You might be better off with books for this sort of thing so you can see the rhyhthms written down on paper. Chaffee's books are excellent, also John Riley's book 'Beyond Bop Drumming' has vast sections about implying one time signature over another, and also metric modulation. It is presented for the jazz idiom, but could be re-interpreted across many different styles.
