“This DVD would be a very dry affair if it wasn’t for Tommy Igoe’s infectious positivity and genuine zeal for sharing his knowledge and experience. But as Igoe himself asks, why do we need yet another technique DVD? Well, I suggest you watch Great Hands… to find your answer. “

Groove Essentials 2.0 is a must have item for any drummer! Following on from Tommy Igoe’s highly authoritative and equally essentials Groove Essentials (1), 2.0 brings 53 new grooes for you to work through. Igoe covers a host of styles and gives the viewer more than 100 groove variations as he enthusiastically works his way around funk, rock, R&B, hip-hop, jazz (sticks and brushes) world/specialty, extreme tempos, hybrid, ridelss and classic grooves.
An understanding of the roots of Indian phrasing could bear fruit for drummers in virtually every genre.
