GROOVE ESSENTIALS 2.0
TOMMY IGOE
The second installment of Tommy Igoe's top-notch instruction.
Master drummer/educator Tommy Igoe has created the world's standard system
for drum groove development. Groove Essentials 2.0 picks up where the top-selling
original left off, featuring 53 brand-new, intermediate-to-advanced grooves, including
odd meters.
The DVD features more than 70 new songs covering 4/4, 2/2, 6/8 and 3/4 time
signatures, with three levels of difficulty for 5/4, 7/8 and 9/8 meters. On the 3-hour,
45-minute DVD, Igoe discusses and demonstrates each groove in multiple tempos, alone
and with a band, with many patterns shown on both acoustic and on Roland HD-1 and
TD-9 electronic drumkits. The grooves span rock, funk, RandB/hip-hop, jazz
(sticks and brushes), world/specialty, extreme tempos, all-purpose, hybrid, rideless,
classic and odd-meters. These tracks also supply a variety of fill-in and soloing
opportunities to challenge advanced players. In addition, the book features Igoe's
extended "global tours" that will test even the most seasoned professional's chops,
creativity and stamina and, as a "first of its kind" bonus, there is a full-length orchestral
play-along track designed to provide a taste of playing in a full orchestra, complete
with multiple moving tempos, dynamics and feels!
Tens of thousands of drummers around the world, from amateurs to
full-time professionals, are currently using Groove Essentials materials to unlock
their drumming potential.
